Episode notes
Memory Shapes Trauma's Power
- Memory determines whether an event remains traumatic by attaching emotional context to it.
- Changing that emotional context can change how trauma affects you without erasing the memory.
Trauma Needs Memory And Context
- Emotional trauma requires memory and context to persist; without memory, PTSD often does not form.
- Traumatic experiences are unavoidable when we live adaptively and engage with the world.
Memories Are Malleable Brain Patterns
- Memories are malleable electrical flows across many brain regions rather than static files.
- You can change the emotional context attached to a memory without deleting the memory itself.
