Healing from trauma is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself. Facing your past, facing your fear of what happened to you, facing the fear of experiencing the emotion that has been wounded, the fear of it, will allow you to bring yourself to the present moment and be who you were meant to be.
Memory isn't just about remembering where you left your keys; it's the foundation of our identity and experiences. But what happens when abuse and trauma twist those memories? In this gripping episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein dives into the murky waters of how abuse can distort and corrupt our memories. He breaks down the science behind traumatic memory encoding, revealing how these painful experiences often get shoved into the subconscious, making them tough to access and process.
Epstein explains the grim effects of childhood abuse on brain development, touching on how it can shrink crucial areas like the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, impacting everything from behavior to emotions. Yet, there's a light at the end of this dark tunnel. Yitz emphasizes the power of confronting past traumas and feeling those buried emotions in real-time, paving the way for genuine healing.
He also introduces mind map therapy as a tool for those grappling with the aftermath of narcissistic abuse. If you're looking to understand the deep-seated impact of abuse on memory and find ways to heal, this episode is a must-listen.
