If there was a way to practice ‘discipline’ that also was able to overcome traumatic cues, I would be interested in that.
I believe the list focus on "infant and childhood trauma" is meant to help us construct how to take this route. The system has plenty of notions, psychoanalytic, behavioral, others and they break down when it comes to "overcome traumatic cues." We have to do better.
The Black Panthers went through quite a few changes on this; we don't want to repeat their learning experience but we do want to build upon it. They were dealing with a different quality of social violence, but one that surely connects.
