Trauma and protective voices result from model overfitting

Trauma and protective voices in our minds result from model overfitting. Children learn with less data by overfitting more readily. This is perhaps why trauma is often traced back to childhood events. In many therapy methods, showing the voice our current life situation causes it to update its strategy - we’re giving it more training inputs to help it generalize.
