In addition to repeated reexperiencing of the event, the delayed effects of severe @entity130 , i.e., @entity1005 ( @entity1005 ), present a paradoxical mix of symptoms. There is enhancement of the self-preservative @entity2922 states; anger and fear with a contrasting sense of meaninglessness and blunting of the emotional responses of the @entity146 so critical for species preservation. Hormonally, there is a striking separation of the @entity2922 response, which stays elevated and that of the @entity774 , which may remain at normal levels. Pathophysiologically, the reexperienceing of the @entity130 and the arousal may be associated with dysfunction of the locus coeruleus, amygdala and hippocampal systems. This article explores the consequences of an additional dysfunction: a dissociation of the hemispheres that appears to be responsible for the alexithymic avoidance and failure of the @entity701 response that so often follow severe @entity130 . There is neurophysiological evidence that the left the right hemispheres subserve different emotional sets that correspond to "control" and "appraisal," i.e., very approximately to the self and species preservative behavioral complexes, respectively. Several studies point to physiological dissociation of hemispheric functions during alexithymia. This raises the question: What has been lost if in this condition the right side no longer fully contributes to integrated cerebral function? Right hemispheric damaged @entity1 lose critical social skills and in adults the related sense of familiarity critical for bonding is lost. Such losses of social sensibilities may account for the lack of empathy and difficulties with bonding found in sociopathy and @entity4225 : conditions now believed to result from repeated @entity130 during development. On the other hand, systems that promote right hemispheric contributions provide solacing access to a "Higher Power." They also appear to protect against socially disordered behavior, substance abuse, the failure of the @entity774 and some aspects of the pathophysiology of @entity102 .

Psychological and physiological responses to stress: the right hemisphere and the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis, an inquiry into problems of XXXX bonding.
