"ULTRA-
NAIVETY"
The body retains memories related to the trauma or stress it has experienced. The process of experiencing, however, can be different. It is impossible to experience tension for so long and so intensely. But in order to prevent the consciousness from returning to the experience figure again, various defence reactions can be triggered. For example: hysterical laughter when talking about the trauma, "Drowning out" feelings, deliberate avoidance of talking about the situation, repetitive actions in everyday life, routinisation.
Safety and security are inherent attributes of corporeality, which people are deprived of every moment during the war. The gradual loss of empathy and awareness of what is happening, fatigue from the flow of information can be very dangerous for the population living in the context of a reality affected by war.
