PTSD

As a new born human there are limitations to the managing of our emotions.  Imagine how a baby learns what Fear, Anxiety, Joy, Love, etc. are without having words to communicate. There is a period in which the body needs to develop before it can consciously manage emotions. Once we learn language, we then add words to our feelings. However, as we learn to communicate, we forget the initial "feeling" experiences and create strategies to handle our experiences.  It's these "forgotten" feeling experiences that dominate our adult lives.
