This is truly heartbreaking: Children in Gaza are wrapping dolls in burial shrouds and staging funerals as play.
It sounds disturbing. But psychologists call it survival.
When trauma is too overwhelming to process consciously, the brain loops back to it. Children replay the scene because they can't verbalize it the way adults do.
"Trauma is, at its core, a loss of control. So the child replays the scene in an attempt to turn something terrifying into something survivable."
It's called repetition compulsion. The mind revisits the worst moments, trying to rewrite the ending.
These kids aren't just playing. They're running emergency repairs on a psyche that's seen too much.
