Hi @ApricotJam !
Well, I'm prepping my teachers that when they return to school onsite, there's no 'mute' function LOL.
As for your post about your brain being likened to a comp with parts corrupted by trauma.... ummm.... no. I don't see it that way.
You see, computers are finite things. They are programmed to do certain things. However, our brains are constantly changing. The brain's neuroplasticity allows it to adapt to the environment . To strengthen the parts that are being used more. To prune away the parts that are not being used. We have the power to change our brain - if we know how.
I know because I've done it with my own brain. I suffered from memory loss in my late teens due to an incident. I lost my memory and had to relearn many things. In that time, I refused to write anything down and worked and worked on finding ways to help my brain remember things. It was so hard at first.
Now in retrospect, my brain has worked out ways to learn and retain information. My brain capacity seems to be much better than before I lost my memory.
The underlying principle of neuroplasticity is 'neuons that's fire together, wire together'. So the more 'heathy' neural pathways you form in your brain, the more you'll be able to manage.
A computer can do this.
Am I making any sense at all?
