The Hippocampus in Therapy

The big thing about the hippocampus is it's about making sense of what you're experiencing and what you're remembering. It gives you a sense of continuity and a sense of self. In therapy, we operate if we're doing well, if we're in a good space as a therapist, then we're operating as the hippocampus meaning we're letting details that don't matter go. We can't do those things without the structure.
