And that feeling of invalidation and rejection sort of fired up something in me that I was probably even more fiery verbally than I would have been normally because it felt so much more important because I could see how it was hurting people in the moment.

Yes.

In me?

Well, I think, I mean, it's sort of ironic because I am a associate professor of brain body medicine that I am a naturally quite, I'm quite unknown to myself.

And I think that this is quite true in some ways of a lot of medical professionals.

So when I was my first year of medicine, like a lot of medical students, I spent three days a week in the dissection room.

Did I learn really?

Do I remember any anatomy from my dissection days?

Not really.

I think that was fundamentally an exercise in dissociating and disconnecting.

It was a way of

teaching you distance and also as a doctor um you are often medical doctor often dealing with quite difficult situations on the end of the telephone or in the hospital in the middle of the night and you there is a degree to which one has to distance yourself from your emotions

So I think in general, I am probably, like a lot of neurodivergent people, quite disconnected from my feelings.

So I am probably...

less i mean it's a bit of a paradox because obviously we're saying neurodivergent people are more prone to rsd i'm saying that in myself i think i am quite masked from it but when i do experience it it feels very um very significant but it would be um it would be in the context of um

Yeah, something pretty, that felt fundamental, you know, to my identity, I think.

I think it's a double-edged sword.

So I think, yes.

So there is a degree to which masking or disconnection is adaptive.

And it must be from an evolutionary perspective.
