HMJB while I hit this horse

Are you familiar with Bessel? He happens to be one of, if not the, leading experts on the propagation of trauma. I'm not the one making the claim it all collapses back on one diagnosis, he is. I highly suggest watching one of the videos on youtube where he gives a talk on his latest book if you are actually interested. If you want to just dismiss the whole thing because we're crazy and YOLO that's fine - the message isn't for you. I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything.

Watch Bessel van der Kolk speak. Then watch The Man From Earth. Then understand why your children never learned to speak. It's seriously that simple. Not my claim, just pointing to one reference in each direction that can get you there if you care to.
