People who spend long periods of time at home & slowly lose the desire to go outside often think they're just resting. But psychologically, many of them are experiencing something called MENTAL RUMINATION. It's a state where the brain starts slowing down while the number of thoughts inside keeps increasing & the motivation to do anything slowly disappears. The mind gets stuck in the past, worries about the future and burns itself out. This isn't laziness, it's a nervous system stuck in survival mode. And the longer it lasts, the more distant normal life begins to feel. And the difficult part is that you usually can't escape it through one massive burst of motivation. And sometimes,recovery starts with just one small step.
Being 10 years old and making your debut in epigenetic trauma research all because you noticed your caterpillars still loved you after becoming butterflies is so profound and poetic and impressive. I love children and their incredible hearts and minds!!!!!!
