======================== So, we've learned we likely have a dissociative disorder. The first stage of recoverying from a dissociative disorder is called stabilization. We haven't learned a lot about this stage, but I think it involves building behaviors that don't cause surprises, and can be continued for a while. "Stable". I suspect these behaviors are used then to find ways to do the basic parts of a normal life and the individual's values. Let's read a little ahead in the book on this, and see if there are ways that stabilization can respect our patterns and issues? [is there reward for doing this] [i think food was left away, but we have videogame.] [this behavior fits similar to previous rewarded behaviors :)] [great!] [you/we are such nice neurons to do this when i am so so confused !!] [:D :D :D we hope so !] some of us want to brag about this on the spammed list. it's 2024-04-17 1739 -0500 addendum: some of us suspect the reason stabilization is so hard is simply that neurons don't understand that it makes sense to do, maybe how and why!
