You know, a lot of things that aren't healthy in the long run, a lot of our defense mechanisms that aren't healthy for growth in the long run can still be immensely helpful in the short term for getting us out of
really horrible, traumatic situations, you know, like people who are abused in in various ways, their brain literally shuts down, um, so they can cope with the reality.
Now that's not healthy in the long term to have your brain shut down, but in the short term it's healthy.
