i’ve started playing around with using “unlearning” basically anywhere i used to use “healing” (thinking of trauma as rigidly learned patterns / viewpoints, rather than as vaguer “damage”). feels like a more accurate description. thoughts?https://twitter.com/_jordan_bates/status/1150606833427603457 …

Works for the class of traumas that are primarily about harmful conditioning. I don't think all traumas are in this class.

I guess what I had in mind is the pattern of trauma creating a noticeable adaptation in the development path of the traumatized organism. Thinking of, like, trees that grow into and around intrusions.pic.twitter.com/86Te8yx9rU

so that one can, in principle, be "unlearned" or "healed" by removing the bike and allowing the tree to fill in the bike-shaped hole. but what about traumas that don't have a noticeable adaptation or work-around that results?
