Memory is a really dynamic process and that all takes energy.
Imagine standing on the shore of your memories, watching them ebb and flow like the tide. That's where Jacky Power, addiction psychologist and poet, begins her conversation with Dr. Paula Croxson in this episode of The Therapeutic Poet. Dr. Croxson, a neuroscientist and storyteller, dives into the fascinating world of memory, sharing insights that blend science with personal narrative.
From the difference between explicit and implicit memories to how our brains shape and reshape these memories, the discussion is both enlightening and engaging. Dr. Croxson explains how our experiences physically alter our brains, creating memories that influence our daily lives, often without us even realizing it. She also touches on the malleability of memory and how storytelling can change the way we remember events.
This is not just a dry lecture; it's a dynamic conversation that makes complex science accessible and relatable. Adding a personal touch, Jacky's poetry sets the stage for each topic, making the science behind memory feel intimate and human. The episode also explores how memory plays a role in addiction, offering listeners valuable insights into how past experiences can trigger addictive behaviors.
Whether you're curious about how your brain works or interested in the power of storytelling, this episode has something for everyone. It's a blend of poetry and science that will leave you with a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you.
