Here's something that might surprise you.
Humans are trance machines.
If you're conscious, you're almost always in some level of trance. Remembering a relaxing holiday – trance. Dreading tomorrow's difficult meeting – trance. Awake at 3am, looping those memories you can't make sense of – also trance.
Trauma gets encoded in an altered state. And then it loops. Infinitely. Because the mind and body don't know it's over.
But here's the other side of that coin.
Because it was encoded using the brain's capacity for one-trial learning – it can be updated using exactly the same mechanism.
You can break the loop, almost as fast as it was begun. 🔵
