"Não se querer libertar"!
"Get over it"!
"Está preso à dor"!
Assim se acrescenta o insulto à injúria.
Não, não estamos a falar do mesmo: já ouviu falar de memória implicita?
Sem empatia não há cura, não há recondicionamento da neuroplasticidade. Aqui vai um chavão
"neurons that fire together wire together".
"Implicit/sensory memories
Frequently, memories of especially traumatic events, including severe child abuse, are reexperienced later
in life on a sensory level, for example as “flashbacks.” This is thought to be due, in part, to the fact that those brain and psychological systems responsible for directing the encoding and early organization and processing of explicit, narrative memory material may be flooded (or at least bypassed) by overwhelming emotional input during severe abuse or trauma -- resulting in less integrated, primarily sensory (as opposed to verbally/autobiographically mediated) recollections upon exposure to trauma-reminiscent stimuli (Metcalfe & Jacobs, 1996; Siegel, 1999; van der Kolk, McFarlane, & Weisaeth, 1996). In addition, traumatic experiences that occurred prior to the child’s acquisition of language necessarily will be nonnarrative, typically sensorimotor in nature.
As opposed to narrative memories, implicit, sensory recollection is generally devoid of autobiographic material, and is often experienced as an intrusion of unexpected sensation (e.g., sights or sounds of an event) rather than of remembering, per se. Although sensory reexperiencing is often accompanied by the associated emotions that were involved at the time of the abuse, the sensory memory of the maltreatment experience and the affects conditioned to the memory (i.e., CERs) are likely to be separate phenomena (Davis, 1992; LeDoux, 1995). In many cases, sensory memories become the stimuli that release strong CERs, which can, in turn, reinstate enough of the context of the original abuse to trigger additional reexperiencing. As will be described below, the combination of triggered sensory memories and associated negative affects is often characteristic of posttraumatic stress".
