what we spoke about in class today about the manner in which the brain handles trauma made a lot of sense to me, but it also left me with a lot of questions.

the concept behind trauma is that the story teller cannot handle some information and so it leaves it out, and you end up behaving/acting in a certain way without always being conscious of it.

but, what then are flasbacks? are they attempts by the story teller to find a story for what happened? where do panic attacks, anxiety attacks and bouts of depression (that are due to events that happened in your past) come from?

i guess i don't really understand how it's possible for there not to be a place in brain where things are suppressed...

thoughts?
