I've seen peeps with N-hypoactive (small or hypoactive amygdala/insula) go from antisocial behaviors and lots of prison time to having a stable life. I'm also friends with one who's never done anything criminal and is perfectly safe to be around, just because they value that and have trained the necessary habits.
I've seen peeps with an N-hyperactive and N-dissociative presentation overcome their traumas to the point where they are basically in charge of their lives again and maintain healthy relationships and all that.
I've seen peeps with N-hypoactive presentations (probably primary sovereigns) just avoid situations that bring out their disruptive sides, such as relationships.
I've seen peeps with similar primary sovereign presentations find all sorts of complicated clever tricks to have great mostly prosocial lives within the constraints of their disorder.
So there are lots of ways in which someone might feel healed. I imagine it's more of a journey without any obvious destination. You notice some recurring problem within yourself, like feelings of boredom or emptiness, or in your relationships and then you find ways to fix them or work around them. When that problem is solved, usually there's some new lesser problem that you can address.
You can have a look at my interview with Tiffany! She's a super inspiring secondary sovereign who's already overcome a lot of her trauma!
My interview with M.E. Thomas and Daniel Ingram on the YouTube channel of M.E. Thomas also touches on that. And her interview with “Madam Halloween.” She's primary af, but has put in basically full-time work over the past ten years to try to discover or shape some kind of identity for herself. (She used to be in a permanent no-self state.) She loves it!
I haven't read the whole article, but it brought up a question – do you think psychopathy can be "healed"? I've never heard that before
It always sounded more like "this part of the brain is missing, that's why people are that way", but I also wondered about trauma induced stuff
Sorry if you already said all that stuff!
