Being harmed releases cortisol, so maybe an influx of cortisol in early childhood interferes with the brain and its development. It's two fold in that the individual is taught that failure to learn/conform to various behaviors results in pain/fear, so then when they learn their brain anticipates the cortisol dump instead of focusing on what is placed before them.
Anticipating a failure state because of previous pain-related punishments for failure makes the individual learn worse. It also produces state-specific learning where certain information can only be accessed in the presence of cortisol. This makes it so trying to retrieve information from the brain is paired with that hormone.
My question is why would the creator create brains that could learn and then produce situations that would cause suffering? Is it that it doesn't want its creation to learn? If it wanted us to overcome fear, then fears only purpose would to be overcome, and if that is the case, then why introduce fear at all? Why not just have us overcome it from the outset by never introducing it in the first place? Why create parents that might want to hit their children?
Why create a creation where a child might be born to abusers?
