@Stout Does that mean you have unresolved childhood emotional trauma?

@Stout what other factors? Do you want to elaborate? You don’t have to.

I only ask because it might help me with my journey of trauma recovery.

Sure @Glisten

Back in the day, when I was a kid there was no intervention like we see today. It was available to the family, but was not taken up. So this means that for me from small childhood, I cannot locate (delineate) exactly where my mental health went wrong. However, the other factor is intergenerational war trauma, including now for myself. Three generations.

Science says that the genes can be afflicted of trauma is high, very high. In addition, the mind is afflicted. It can heal, but as yet there is no cure.

Depending on the severity therefore, suggests either a societal version or interpretation of what might be considered 'trauma' and the actual physical presence of same. in other words it might be combatable if its not physiological.

Hey Im going out for smoke. Be back in fifteen or so

@Stout WOW that is a whole lot of information right there, that will lead me to a lot of reading 📖

So @Glisten

Old (which is what it is) psychiatry is an industrial money fest lagging deliberately behind the social que.

Science also posits that there is a genetic memory. This theory states that the genes are imprinted with memories or effects from our forebears. There's nothing we can do about that. It lives in us, and may be bred out. That's probably why some people are just awful. In various ways.

Another thing goes to where certain people love the gore of life, because it brings them (or others) closer to the dark side. But that is a tangentile discussion.

@Stout have you learned other life skills during your MH journey?

What has been the most valuable skill you’ve learned?

@Glisten , the most valuable skill?
