Star trek childhood abuse survivors seems a particular particular thing! And there are way more of us than people who remember or admit,

and we know the statistics.

these are helpful signals for me. I hope they are helpful signals for others also. I am going to keep processing and unpacking and making helpful connections and building infrastructure on this basis. This is great brain food. thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you for the space and your interactions here.

Yes that's an amazing episode and I see the connections!

Farpoint 1987 yes

I was 6, born in Jan 1981

Increased Delta States for children up until age 7 is my understanding, for profound non-conscious absorption

Delta State also trauma survivors and has been measured my brain has continuous Delta State while awake in a way that is not supposedly normal but I wonder how it intersects with people who have gone through trauma particularly neurological and prolonged violence

So working theory is that trauma survivors can benefit from this profound absorption of non-conscious content same way as children younger than 7, childhood regression common all together anyway, might as well use it and see if it works, so far so good

That is what we're doing

Making a space that is safe for adults to be children and children to be adults and not to be ageist about the whole thing, and access our whole capacities of being, and solve problems that nobody else thinks are worth solving
