      Lact is pleased to offer you the full webconference of Dr. Boris CYRULNIK taken from the 5th International Webinar , entitled: “Can we live without suffering? ".

      Suffering begins in the womb; it is both of chemical and mental origin. If the mother is stressed, cortisol and catecolamines cross the placental barrier causing atrophy of the limbic system, the neurological base of memory and emotions.
       
      The ontogenesis of speech begins in the uterus and continues in the sensory niche of the mother's arms, but it is only around the age of 6/7 that the child has access to the representation of time and therefore to the story.
       
      Temporality plays a role in the reception and representation of time. Babies and young children live in contextual time, the present time, psycho-traumatized adults are prisoners of their syndrome while the elderly suffer from bi-frontal atrophy which prevents them from anticipating the future and submits them in the past.
       
      Healthy memory is evolutionary while episodic memory deteriorates if the trauma is not worked out. So does suffering really only end with death?

      Transcription

      the title is very stimulating, because you couldn't die if you weren't alive before. So the two are associated and what is also associated is life and suffering. Could we live without suffering?

      I propose to distinguish between pain and suffering. Pain, it contains, it is supported by pain pathways, that is to say it is anatomy, physiology, synaptic transmission and we share that with many mammals and a large part of the living world, since it is even said that plants suffer and it is even said that the soil can also suffer, but I believe that we must distinguish "pain", which is a neurological base, and "suffering", which is particularly developed when we have corticalization, that is to say when we can develop a nervous system that allows us to submit to pressure from others, from relationships and from the environment.

      I think we can make this distinction, because "suffering" comes from "sulfero", "endure", I tolerate pain more or less well. The same pain information can be more or less well tolerated according to our development and our relationships, that is to say according to corticalization. So that's just for the introduction, what I'm going to try to talk about.

      Pain is inevitable, it is even necessary. I had the opportunity to see a case of C-fiber agenesis, where the woman had no pain and one day while cooking she smelled grilled steak. The oven door had opened, it was her leg that was grilling and she had absolutely no idea.

      This means that pain is an adaptive mechanism that allows us to avoid adapting to the environment, to flee, to adapt or to confront, just like most living beings. [....]
