Profound. So many poignant insights, like how strong emotion can physically block pain thru the release of morphine-like substances. How trauma decreases activity in the brain's left, while increasing the right, closing off language/logic & heightening the reliving of sensory events. Also why simply talk therapy or Knowing the Truth doesnt always work, cuz the left side isn't always in change when trauma is concerned
