Psychomedia

Panic and blankness aren’t degrees of trauma. They’re opposite survival strategies: expression when pain feels survivable, shutdown when it feels intolerable.

If you “see nothing” during visualization, it may be your nervous system protecting you. Blank imagery can be a trauma-gated safety response, not a lack of imagination.

Psychomedia is a new scientific field that studies how media, trauma, and control program the nervous system over time, shaping perception, emotion, and identity. It shows how symbols, stories, and emotional patterns rewire reality in individual minds and the collective subconscious — reframing many forms of “mental illness” as adaptations to a trauma-saturated media ecology rather than isolated defects.
