I have researched TLE in the past because I have experienced dissociation and what are called "pseudoseizures" in Borderline Personality Disorder, and it correlates with pain in my right temple, and self harm by hitting my own head. From what I remember, it said that seizures in the right temporal lobe cause harsh inner voices, etc. I now describe my illness as C-PTSD or Developmental Trauma and attend Somatic Experiencing Treatment. It really helps.
I think you are really on the right track here. Bless you for your excellent work!
Thank you so much! That makes sense - I believe there are studies indicating that the left temporal lobe is more often involved with dissociation/DID, and the EEG of RA Anon shows left temporal lobe issues. Very interesting points you made - and thank you!
My interest in the right temporal lobe was purely self interest, as that is where I experience my symptoms, and I am lucky enough not to have DID. I clicked your forum link, and wow, that conversation really resonated with me. I inherited Bipolar 2 and I had no idea that, too, is associated with TLE! Plus, one of the posters mentioned "pseudo seizures" just like I did.
I think the terminology like pseudo seizure and. Borderline personality really contribute to victim blaming stigma! I am grateful for brave writers like you that attribute these developmental traumas to child abuse!
That is totally new to me, thank you! Absolutely agree on the stigma applied to this entire area, whether DID or Borderline or other issues.
People who report ritual abuse to most - even well intentioned and understanding - mental health professionals are going to get labeled psychotic and put on extreme meds if they stick to their story. I wrote this because I want to make sure that survivors know they are not alone, or crazy.

Tangentially, have you also seen the studies that show child abuse shrinks the hippocampus? http://www.livescience.com/18453-child-abuse-brain.html

Thanks a million, I cannot say bless you enough.
