介绍:
When exposed to trauma, the body deploys it’s own defense system. From the first second the brain receives the signal that a catastrophe has happened, the blood rushes to the organs that need help the most. Blood floods into the muscles, the lungs, the heart, the brain. The brain makes a decision for the rest of the body, either face the danger or run away. It’s a mechanism designed to protect the body from harm, from knowing that what has happened might be irreparable. We call it shock.
人体一旦受伤，身体会启动自我防御系统。从大脑一接收到信号得知身体遭到伤害，血液涌向最需要帮助的器官。血液满布肌肉、肺部、心脏、大脑。然后大脑为身体的其他部分做出决定，是要直面威胁还是一走了之。这是为了保护身体免受伤害的机制，当知道所发生的事件也许是无法挽回之时，我们称之为打击。
When shock wears off, when the body can accept that a trauma has happened, when it can let down it’s defenses, it’s a scary moment. It’s vulnerable. The shock response had protected us, and it just might have saved us.
当打击消失时，当身体能接受创伤已造成卸下防御时恐怖的时刻就到来了。很脆弱。冲击应激保护了我们，也可能拯救了我们。
