Desensitization

[Jazzy]

Someone linked me a very interesting article recently, entitled "Alarm Fatigue". While that weak, passive title upsets me, the fundamental concept that we become desensitized to alarms/alerts over time is very important. This is a big part of why we cannot comprehend how bad of a state trauma holds us in.

While the article does not even begin to touch on the horrendous reality of living through trauma for years on end, it is here for those interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alarm_fatigue
