That's the basis of trauma: unresolved experiential memories that need to be incorporated with narrative memories so that your head can toss them into the historical file, knit the events into a continuous timeline and stop treating them like they're still currently happening.
Ever wondered how trauma rewires your brain? This episode of 'CPTSD Recovery: We Are Traumatized Motherfuckers' takes you on a journey through the intricate workings of PTSD. Jess, your candid and knowledgeable host, breaks down what trauma really means, stripping away the heavy stigma and confusion often attached to it. She tackles common misconceptions like, 'Is my trauma valid if others have had it worse?' Spoiler alert: Yes, it is.
Jess dives into the neurological side of things, explaining how our brains split memories and why traumatic events create a chaotic mess in our heads. She discusses the 'animal brain' that handles our sensory and emotional memories and the 'human brain' that checks out when things get too intense. This split leaves us with unresolved experiences that clutter our minds. Ever feel like you're stuck in a loop, obsessing over past events?
Jess sheds light on how trauma leads to cognitive obsession, making us constantly try to piece together our past and predict the future. This episode isn't just a dry lecture; Jess shares less-sunny snippets from her own life, making the science relatable and real. If you've ever felt like your brain is a battlefield, this episode offers some much-needed clarity.
It's a deep dive into understanding how trauma affects us on a neurological level, making it easier to grasp why we feel the way we do. Tune in to get a clearer picture of your own mind and find some comfort in knowing you're not alone in this struggle.
