PART 15: THE ABUSE SYNDROME<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

In answering the question in the title of this essay, the January 2015 segment \u2014\u00a0Learned Helplessness<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 reported on the conditioned responses of utter helplessness and hopelessness resulting from ongoing painful trauma or adversity that involves actual or perceived lack of control.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here, in the March 2015 installment [there was no February installment, because the January piece appeared in the February newsletter], we continue Ms. Shure’s analysis with Part 15: The Abuse Syndrome.<\/em><\/p>\n

BRUCE LEVINE: THE ABUSE SYNDROME<\/h4>\n

A dynamic that may help explain the \u201cnothing we can do about it\u201d reaction to the evidence that refutes the official 9\/11 account is the \u201cabuse syndrome,\u201d as described by clinical psychologist Bruce E. Levine. To maintain control, abusive spouses, bosses, and governments shove lies, physical and emotional abuse, and injustice in their victims\u2019 faces. When the victims continue to be afraid to exit from these relationships or fail to fight back, they get weaker, they feel humiliated by their passivity, they feel broken, and they feel shame.1<\/sup><\/p>\n

Our true nature does not harbor feelings of shame. Originating from trauma, shame is characterized by self-hatred and a fundamental sense that we are unworthy and unlovable.<\/p>\n

Eventually, victims in a relationship marked by trauma can develop a deep-seated fear that they cannot survive without the abuser in their lives. This belief increases their feelings of helplessness.<\/p>\n

An even more extreme form of this dynamic involves victims of captivity, who may become attached to their captors, and may even defend them. Known as the \u201cStockholm syndrome,\u201d this relationship can also apply to children who are, psychologically and physically, de facto captives to abusive parents.2<\/sup><\/p>\n
