(anecdotal, remove if not allowed). My Neurologist said it's possible for childhood abuse to show up in MRIs even through middle age. I read a study a few yrs ago about altered brain chemistry and suppressed immune response development in children who experienced even emotional and verbal abuse. The more research the better.
I've read somewhere it manifests similarly to Traumatic Brain Injury - not surprising really, if you think about it.
Imagine having both? It’s a fun double whammy.
Oof. My condolences.
Thanks. I mean that.
We can do it!
The best part is it’s all invisible so no one believes it’s really an issue. Hooray!
Oh, they try and have their cake and eat it too. If they can’t outsmart you you’re not injured, if you are injured you’re the one that hurt them, they’ve never done anything to deserve that, no wait that was supposed to trick you into stopping you’re hurting of Nazis like me OWWIE!
Indeed it is.
Or CSB and verbal abuse. Yet, my parents just don’t understand why I might have coping mechanism problems. My condolences as well.
I think I have both, a lot of days aren't fun anymore along with drug use and alcohol abuse I think was caused by it.

It's not fun (I have both cptsd and tbi)

TBI, CPTSD and combat PTSD. The trifecta my friend.
‘The Body Keeps the Score” It’s a book someone wrote. Can’t recall the author.
‘The Body Keeps the Score’ by Bessel Van Der Kolk. I read this book. It’s really good and (as a traumatised kid), I felt really sad and heavy when I realised how our minds and bodies absorb our experiences and respond accordingly, and in ways many of us don’t realise or understand.
Great book. Author got fired for abusing employees though. Despite researching trauma, he didn’t mind causing some.
Read The Body Never Lies by Alice Miller instead. I think The Body Keeps the Score guy stole her research too.
The body remembers - Rothschild
A true expert
never lies sounds more apt than "keeps score" anyways

It is.. but this latest generation of child raisers seems to have broken the cycle more than any other generation, of course kids are still abused and that is very unfortunate but parents these days do seem a lot more capable of showing love to their children. Boomer parents weren’t so much. They weren’t home ever, they were pretty much done with us as soon as we turned 18 and hardly any of them saved for college…
My brain is a potato according to this study. Correlation does not mean causation. Also can, but not definitively. Research is useful, but the stigma towards foster youth is already bad enough.
Makes sense the last bit about people who are allergic to everything. They appear to be homeschooled in my experience.
