It is one thing to process memories of trauma, but it is an entirely different matter to confront the inner void—the holes in the soul that result from not having been wanted, not having been seen, and not having been allowed to speak the truth. It is to the credit of human nature, that, expect where its selfishness is brought into play, it loves more readily than it hates. Hatred, by a gradual and quiet process will even be transformed to love, unless the change be impeded by a continually new irritation of the original feeling of hostility. If your parents’ faces never lit up when they looked at you, it is hard to know what it feels like to be loved and cherished. If you come an incomprehensible World filled with secrecy and fear, it is almost impossible to find the words to express what you have endured. If you grew up unwanted and ignored, it is a major challenge to develop a visceral (internal organs) sense of agency (feeling of being in charge of your life) and self-worth, which is why so many people focus on the elevation of their houses, status of their careers, and material possession. However, if your heart and mind are not in the right place, none of that even matters. #RyanPhillippe 1 of 6

Many people wonder why some do not seem to benefit from therapy when it is clear that they have a problem. Some adults just continue to harass and attack others and you know for a fact that it cannot feel good to harbor such harsh feelings in one’s body. Like, the goal of their day is to wake up and inflict pain and suffering onto others for no good reason. Well, the problem with these defective people is that they felt unwanted as children, and those who did not remember feeling safe with anyone while growing up, did not fully benefit from conventional psychotherapy, presumably because they could not activate old traces of feeling cared for. So they are in pain, and they want to make others feel their pain and feed off of you. Turn away from those type of people. Despite their hard work in therapy and their share of personal and professional accomplishments, they cannot erase the devastating imprints of a mother who was too depressed to notice them or a father who treated them like he wished they had never been born. If they could reconstruct those implicit maps of mental trauma, it is clear that their lives would change fundamentally. #RyanPhillippe 2 of 6

How can we help people become viscerally acquainted with feelings that were lacking early in their lives? Well, using brain scans to visualize mental states, instead of opinion is one way that could make psychiatry more of a science and not junk science. Many experiments used in psychiatry that might be revealing are impractical, unethical, or impossible to do. In instances such as these, information may be gained from a case study (an in-depth focus on all aspects of a single subject). Clinical psychologist rely heavily on case studies. Case studies may sometimes be thought of as natural clinical test (accidents or other natural events that provide psychological data). Gunshot wounds, brain tumors, accidental poisonings (like knowing someone has a latex allergy and continuously and prolonged exposure to latex), and similar disasters provide much information about the human brain, but conducting these experiments without knowledge of the participant could be consider attempted murder. Some scientist illegally experimenting on human life, without consent. #RyanPhillippe 3 of 6

Unnecessary experimentation on children and unnecessary and questionable human experimentation is not limited to pharmaceutical development. In experiments at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a genetically engineered human growth hormone (hGH) is injected into healthy short children. Consent is obtained from parents and affirmed by the children themselves. However, children are still developing and do not have the mental capacity to understand the impact nor the implications that these experiments could have on their lives, and many of the parents do it for financial gain, and have a total disregard for the lives of their child. The children receive 156 injections each year in the hope of becoming taller. Short stature, of course, is not a disease. The hGH injection, on the other hand, poses significant risks, both physical and psychological. Those injections are linked in some studies to a potential for increased cancer risk, are painful, and may aggravate, rather than reduce, the stigma of short stature. Moreover, while growth rate is increases in the short term, it is unclear that the final net height of the child is significantly increase by the treatment. #RyanPhillippe 4 of 6

The studies also put healthy children and adults at risk. Case studies can provide special opportunities to answer interesting questions. For instance, how do you know what kind of person you are? Would your self-image change if you lost your memory for past events? However, a biased sample does not accurately reflect the population from which it is drawn. And no one should have to bear so much pain. Experimenting with someone’s life, for unethical and unlawful scientific research, is no different than what happened in Fort Myers, Florida USA. Early Monday morning, at 12.30 am, on 24 July 2016, a shooting outside a nightclub’s teen party for people ages 12 to 27 left two people dead. In fact, 14-year-old Shawn Achilles and 18-year-old Ste’fan Stawder were killed and 14 others were injured with injuries ranging from minor to life-threatening. Authorities detained three adults in relation to the shooting, but the motive remains unclear. You can compare this to an unethical case study because the perpetrators knew the shooting would hurt some and kill others, much like scientist know their case studies are harmful to human life. #RyanPhillippe 5 of 6

Protagonists become the directors of their own plays, creating around them the past they never had, and they clearly experienced profound physical and mental relief after these imaginary scenarios. However, the victims are left with painful experiences. People process spatial relations with the right hemisphere of the brain, and our neuroimaging research had shown that the imprint of trauma is principally on the right hemisphere as well. Caring, disapproval, and indifference all are primarily conveyed by facial expression, tone of voice, and physical movements. Up to 90 percent of human communication occurs in the nonverbal, right-hemisphere realm. Projecting your inner World into the three-dimensional space of a structure enabled you to see what is happening in the theater of your mind and gives you a much clearer perspective on your reactions to people and events in the past. As you position placeholders for the important people in your life, you may be surprised by the unexpected memories, thoughts, and emotions that come up. You can experiment with moving the pieces around on the external chessboard that you have created and see what effect it has on you. #RyanPhillippe 6 of 6
