Episode Overview
- Trauma can impact memory in different ways, including temporary or permanent memory loss.
- Memory loss serves as a natural defence mechanism to protect individuals from psychological damage.
- Working with a trauma specialist and utilising the Trauma Recovery Method program can aid in memory recovery and emotional control.
- Different areas of the brain, such as the hippocampus, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex, can be affected by the stress response to trauma.
- Emotional and psychological trauma can also contribute to memory loss as a coping mechanism.
Memory loss can be the brain's way of coping with the experience and regaining lost memories that result from trauma but this is possible through trauma recovery therapy using the right plan, the right tools and the right support.
