So nice to see the neglect of high-performing kids with abusive homes and mental health issues being mentioned here. They are so often left out when people think of childhood trauma because they are "high functioning."

“Your brain is recognizing a pattern that it has flagged with life-or-death importance, and it reflexively shoots out what it believes to be the appropriate response… None of this of course is reasonable or rational. But your brain is not trying to be reasonable. It’s trying to save your life.”

I love this book omg
