When I did my 4 years of attachment therapy, and I gave it everything I had, I could literally feel the structure of my brain changing.
Not thought patterns changing (which they did) I’m talking about the actual physical structure of my brain. New pathways were forged and old ones closed forever. It very much reminded me of how I could feel my brain developing when I was teaching myself to program at the age of 13-16… and thinking so hard that my brain felt like it was literally overheating.
It’s a crazy experience to have as a human - to literally not be able to construct old thought, or emotion frameworks, because the physical structure required for them doesn’t exist anymore. To have memories reduced to “that happened” while no longer being able to recall any relevant details.
This is exactly what needs to be said. Thank you!
