上周的飯局上,Gregg又陷入了那種熟悉的自我審查——講完笑話20分鐘后,開(kāi)始懷疑自己是不是說(shuō)錯(cuò)了什么。這種反芻像后臺(tái)程序一樣耗電,他卻突然意識(shí)到:這不是性格缺陷,是童年寫(xiě)進(jìn)系統(tǒng)的默認(rèn)配置。
Grew up in a home where abuse was the norm and abandonment wasn’t a fear—it was something that actually happened. 食物成了唯一不會(huì)離開(kāi)、不會(huì)撒謊、不會(huì)消失的東西。體重飆到450磅后,他做了該做的治療,重建了生活,但發(fā)現(xiàn)過(guò)去并沒(méi)有"清零"。
心理治療師Kaytee Gillis的觀點(diǎn)很直接:「The purpose of healing is not to make it as if the events never happened, but to learn how to manage the feelings that arise in their aftermath.」換句話說(shuō),大腦和身體會(huì)保留印記,目標(biāo)是管理余波,而非假裝無(wú)事發(fā)生。
《身體從未忘記》作者Bessel van der Kolk的研究顯示,創(chuàng)傷會(huì)重塑記憶、情緒調(diào)節(jié)和威脅反應(yīng)相關(guān)的腦區(qū)。這些不是性格bug,是生存策略的殘留代碼。Frontiers in Psychiatry的追蹤研究進(jìn)一步證實(shí),童年創(chuàng)傷導(dǎo)致的神經(jīng)和社會(huì)心理改變會(huì)持續(xù)到成年,影響人際關(guān)系和自我認(rèn)知。
Gregg現(xiàn)在的狀態(tài)是:不把它當(dāng)開(kāi)放傷口,也不讓它定義自己。社交場(chǎng)合的過(guò)度反思還在,但他學(xué)會(huì)了識(shí)別這是舊系統(tǒng)的彈窗,而不是當(dāng)下的真實(shí)警報(bào)。用他自己的話說(shuō),"I’m not interested in being defined by it"——不是 healed,是 whole,帶著印記的那種完整。
