3 people witness a hit and run accident. All 3 have valuable details, but all argue on the color of the car, license plate, and direction of travel. Probably the most important facts.
Trauma distorts our thinking and perception of things. What we daily carry around with us emotionally shades what we actually see. Our brain is busy sorting the garbage we feel is important and when new unexpected information comes in it's jumbled, not unlike a computer when the hard drive is full. Our brain is so full with problems, then a constant bombarment of info we can't handle and we crash.
That's when addictions seep in. It's easier to block out the world than it is to deal with the info. If we could only learn that talking with someone and releasing our burdens helps free up our mind to handle other info, other than just our own dilemas. It's called freedom.
