Trauma
- Trauma affects brain development
- For example, a person may experience intense fear (a surge in stress hormones) of rejection from a partner, triggered by an early memory (even unconscious) of parental rejection. Repeated exposure to analogous situations reinforces a physiological reaction
- Similarity between physical and psychological pain1
