From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome)

Stockholm syndrome, or capture-bonding, is a psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy and sympathy and have positive feelings toward their captors, sometimes to the point of defending and identifying with the captors. These feelings are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims, who essentially mistake a lack of abuse from their captors for an act of kindness.[1][2] The FBI‘s Hostage Barricade Database System shows that roughly eight percent of victims show evidence of Stockholm syndrome.[3]

斯德哥尔摩综合症是一种心理现象,在其中人质表达对绑架者的同情,有时甚至捍卫和认同 绑架者。这种情感一般被认为是非理性的,因为人质的生命正受到威胁,而他们却错误地将绑架者没有虐待他们当作了绑架者的善行。FBI人质障碍数据库说,大约8%的受害人有斯德哥尔摩综合症。

走在路上祷告的时候,突然想起了斯德哥尔摩综合征。受到压力的情况下,因为某种原因无法提出反对,而在创伤之下与强权构成了同谋。然后开始为了自己的伤害而辩护,否认外人一眼而见的事实。

我曾经陷入在这样的境地无法自拔,至今想起来还是有创伤的感觉(我的CIU的学圣经咨询的朋友们,请不要担心。)这已经成为构成现在的我的一部分。EMD_0917

My chains are gone
I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, amazing grace

为了我深爱的弟兄姊妹,昼夜不停地祷告。
