Trauma. I have to have been at Vietnam, wartime, 9-11. These are those big T traumas you hear some folks use, that type of terminology. But within the spirit of the work... the knee-to-knee work, really embracing a definition, moments of perceived helplessness. That's what's gonna activate the limbic system. So who is to say what one limbic system evaluates as helplessness versus another?

So in a lot of my work with clients individually or groups, I say I hate to oversimplify things, but I think sometimes we just make things too damn complex. A lot of what I do is try to depolarize.

for folks and we're getting into these situations to where we live in this world of get over it it doesn't matter versus like you mentioned perhaps stay stuck in it but yeah moments of perceived helplessness activating that limbic system these things can happen sometimes at

the bridge you remember we talked about wounding events and one of those would be a tragic event life seems to be going one way before this thing happens and then this thing happens and life changes and everything is different on the other side of that a big t event versus someone again who maybe you could describe it as a thousand paper cuts

Someone growing up, going through childhood daily, being limbically activated. But moments of perceived helplessness, that stuck for me and it stuck for a lot of clients.

Some folks call it a residential treatment. Some people call it trauma camp. There's a lot of different.

Some folks call it a residential treatment. Some people call it trauma camp. There's a lot of different.

And I couldn't argue with any of those. So what is it? It could be described as residential treatment, and I would describe it as residential treatment for disconnection.

I want to use that type of terminology. Disconnection is just the concept that's used at the bridge. And one way of disconnecting is substance abuse, but also screens. Sex, relationships, ego, anger.

So you just take away the substance, take away the word alcohol and plug in whatever word you want to. You mentioned the group process. So you might have a group of eight folks and there may be three folks in there that identify as substance abusers. And there could be two workaholics in that room. The commonality within the circle is going to be you may disconnect differently than I do, Peter.
