Neurobiology echoing @prisonculture.bsky.social’s wise words: “Hope is a discipline.”
“Why are traumatized people so MISERABLE?”
“Too much disappointment teaches the system that ‘wanting leads to pain,’ and so it stops responding to potential rewards. … Biologically, it’s an adaptive silencing of the very circuits that make us feel alive.” www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/an-i...
