While watching a person exhibiting that which we believe to be an over reaction, it's likely that we're witnessing the emergence of an unprocessed trauma, which had been repressed deep within this severely distressed person's subconscious. As long as subconscious trauma remains in an unprocessed (unidentified, unexamined or misunderstood) state, the traumatized reaction will be triggered, again and again, just as a war veteran mistakes a backfiring car for gun fire.
When a person is processing through a delayed reaction to terror, pain, anger and/or confusion associated with trauma, shallow-minded judgments (negatively focused feedback) prolong and intensify post traumatic reactions, making recovery more difficult. If negative feedback heightens emotional pain, overlong, eventually, traumatized stress, festering in an unprocessed state, drains the life force from our spirits, resulting in a deeply irritated, irrational state of mental exhaustion ...
If Will's cancer was diagnosed early in July, why has his surgery been delayed two months? I mean, have you ever experienced what it feels like to wait two months to remove cancer from a loved one's body? Though you may not have that answer in mind, I do. And though the answer makes sense, understanding does not relieve added weeks of stress.
The answer I do not yet have and am searching inside to find is this:
How can a terrifying situation that I'd experienced at the vulnerable age of twenty months, before my brain developed the ability to fathom (process) complex thought processes, intensify the distressed state of my mind, today?
