I've recently came up with an idea and I wanna share it with you cause if it's true it can change all perspective in mental health area.
According to current model when something traumatic happens there's so much information that you can't handle and you have to supress some of those information. But in actual trauma all that gives discomfort to you is extreme feelings of overwhelm in your head, right? You don't try to analyze the situation or what consequencies it will bring during trauma, at least not much. All you are aware of is that massive overwhelm. And I think that's what you're actually supressing during trauma. You have this extreme disturbance caused by all different chemical reactions in your head and you try to supress them. And there's actually a neurotransmitter, as many of you know, GABA that can halt the activity in your brain to stop panicky feelings. And I think that could be the real reason for suffering after something hurtful happened to you, rather than supression of your thoughts. I mean what is the more powerful one that causes us to do something, our thoughts or our feelings? I know thoughts can effect feelings but feelings are what drives us.
I really wanna get this idea to authorities but I don't know how. So please think about it and ask someone professional you know about this. It may at last CURE all mental diseases.
