The Impact of Trauma on Perception and Defense Mechanisms
This chapter explores how trauma can shape our perception of present events and create defense mechanisms based on past experiences. It discusses how the brain stores traumatic memories and compares future experiences to the initial traumatic image, using a child being yelled at by their parent in a room as an example. Additionally, it mentions that these defense systems can persist into adulthood, particularly in situations involving broken trust in coaching.
