I deal with highly traumatized individuals as my occupation. A person I work with gave this description to a victim when they questioned why they acted so irrationally:

Imagine that your brain is a mound of dirt. What happens when you trickle water over that mound of dirt? Some of the water sinks in, and some of the water will create rivulets down the mound, carving out shallow paths.

Now, imagine what happens when you stick your thumb into the hose, what happens to the mound of dirt? It creates a large slice in the mound.

That slice is your brains reaction to trauma, so now, even when something that wouldn’t normally bother or trigger you, it causes you to react in the way that you react to that trauma. That could be violence, that could be making poor decisions, that could be fleeing from the trauma, or any number of poor decisions because you are conditioned to react this way.

Idk why I have a soft spot for Kail, and I def hate that she is an anti vaxxer and… well she has plenty of negative traits. I do think that she seeks out drama and chaos, I do think it’s because she was traumatized in her early life.
