When it is said that humans are born with the innate instinct of survival, it is a fact. First, humans were supposed to look for food, find shelter, and be strong enough to face the danger they presented back to them from a primitive standpoint, creating innate survival mechanisms within the group, having the sense of fight-flight, and chasing the wild nature of natural threats. The inherent fear response exists to protect and seek protection or live within the given scenario to survive. However, living means reproducing more humans, teaching them the survival mechanisms within the wild, and the cycle continues, leaving the fear and threat response embedded within the human DNA, adding to the complexity of human evolution to the changes in the gene expression and how the world is perceived from the survival mechanisms. It is a wild world, even if it is different in how it looks and how far technology is advanced, till the primate's innate survival response manifests with each perceived threat, lack of safety, and fear of the unknown. Humans can not live without striving for survival reaction activation that controls each aspect of life. Quietness and calmness are for a bit, yet survival requires continuing the fight-flight response from one generation to the other. The continuous battle of mind-body networks. The separation of the mind and the body, while the body controls to protect.
Many hear the words stress, manic, panic, paranoid, or depressed as the identity representation of modern humans, ignoring the body's protective mechanism when hope is lost or fighting to figure it out in the survival world of primitive body response which drives the chaos, disassociation, dissipation of the mind in a state of overwhelm. Perception of the world is not a safe place to live, and there is a fear of continuous chaos and loss of sense, whether humans act from fear, recklessness, selfishness, or trying to win it all at any cost. In contrast, the perception has changed from that child who does not understand the meaning of chaos, disorganization, dysregulation, or being safe and taking in the wrong messages from the universe, storing them in their body in each cell. The cells store the autobiographical memories of each emotion, feeling, sensation, and experience of chaos manifesting over time when experiences look alike, sound alike, or even feel alike. The storage of experiences shapes how the moment and events are perceived. Sometimes, it sounds like humans never left the moment of chaos they first experienced, accelerating the fear response and increasing stress levels. It sounds like everyone acting from their own stress response, different worlds yet shared outcomes from dysregulation to chaos into calmness and soon back again to the dissipated state of mind and the control of the body until it shuts down. No more response, no more pushing forward to suppress the state of overwhelm. From the point the world is not a safe place to live in, to numbness, disassociation, and even complete coldness and alienation from the body, admitting "I can't take it anymore, silence, and escaping to nowhere where life comes to stillness till, this one response from the sound of empathy, compassion, and no agenda brings back the body to life with extreme pain hard to fathom and requires time to overcome.
Trauma overloads the pure minds, taking chances of their inability to comprehend or respond to the state of ignoring the human within. It takes a toll on humanity and societies within collective trauma response toward one another; it is encoded with each human gene expression, putting them vulnerable to disease and illness. It has been said that we have to identify our reactions, whether they are coming from trauma or only experiencing natural stress responses that faint in a short amount of time and do not stay for long. We have to ask ourselves how we are connected to the self and the body and understand the body-mind connection in trauma and stress response? Stress response has become part of the evolution of human condition, however trauma became the turning point of civilizations, societies, and nations when fight-flight, fawn-faint, freeze-collapse becomes everyday life functioning within the world.
Not only did collective trauma and individual trauma bring the world into a state of high vulnerability to sickness and illness, but they also created a state of alienation, disassociation, and a state of overwhelm, asking, am I safe? Can I survive? Am I a human or being seen as a subject in the wild kingdom of survival? The picture of the pure child disappeared, and the image of chasing through the wild kingdom activated the fight-flight response, which takes mostly 20 seconds of activation, causing prolonged damage to the cell, tissue, and mind-body connection, leading to disease-like behaviors with valid biomarkers. Presenting the gap between true-negative diagnosis and false-positive diagnosis. The neurobiology of trauma is camouflaging in the cluster of manifestations of disease and illness, leaving the trauma unprocessed, unresolved, unhealed, and running the show of a chain of sicknesses and disease-like behavior. The question is, are we noticing the difference between the stress response and the trauma response? Can we be educated about the differences and how to identify them? If you have a task to complete and experience a sort of anxiety, that is natural stress; however, if you have a task to complete and you get triggers by time and place with a manic or panic episode, that is a trauma response the body read the input and acted accordingly based on the history of experiences, are we prepared to respond in both situations still it requires a collective action to differentiate both pathophysiology, environmental, and behavioral state. The human condition is a complex state that presents us with many challenges in how trauma drives disease-like behaviors with valid biomarkers. Peace!!!! By: ME, "The old ancient woman."
