Forecasting Pain: Predictive Processing Model for Trauma-Driven Affective Suppression

2025-08-04

Abstract excerpt

<p>This paper introduces the concept of forecasting pain as a trauma-based mechanism grounded in predictive processing theory. Rather than responding to threat in real time, traumatized systems may preemptively simulate emotional or relational harm and initiate protective adaptations before any overt danger occurs. Drawing on hierarchical Bayesian models of brain function, I propose that forecasting pain involves...
