The body does not keep the score: Trauma, predictive coding, and the restoration of metastability (Frontiers in Neuroscience)

“Understanding trauma as a dysregulation of metastability may also dissolve a long-standing paradox in mental health: why so many diverse treatments—exposure therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, exercise, psychedelics, flow-inducing pursuits—can all succeed. Each, in its own way, restores flexible coupling between large-scale networks, quiets maladaptive self-referential loops, and rebalances neuromodulation. The mechanism is not specific content but dynamic reorganization.”
