Do any of you believe that, after the trama(s), the brain has been programmed to make you suffer?
Yes and no, my trauma has taught my brain to be on constant alert which causes high levels of anxiety to be normal. This and the demeaning nature of the trauma causes me to have poor self-esteem which together does cause me to "suffer" in that way. But, I know that I can work on overriding this programming so that I can live the life I want. So the brain maybe programmed by the trauma(s) but one can make a conscious decision to fight it.
