Understanding Trauma and Memory

Trauma significantly affects how memories are processed and stored in the brain, influencing present behavior and our emotional state. Complex trauma is defined as a series of events that hinder an individual's ability to integrate and regulate reactions in the present moment. This often leads to dissociation or panic, where the brain’s prediction system becomes vigilant due to past experiences, filtering current information through a lens of safety or threat. Consequently, memories from traumatic experiences inform our present reactions, shaping our sense of safety and affecting our ability to stay mindful and aware.
