In this episode, explore how trauma can leave fingerprints on the brain—affecting memory, focus, and even the way we recall our life story. I share my own experiences of memory lapses, forgetting conversations, and struggling to recall important moments, along with the science behind why it happens. Together, we’ll look at how the brain’s survival mode can disrupt memory processing, why this is a normal response to overwhelming events, and what steps can help in healing and rebuilding mental clarity. This is a compassionate, honest conversation for anyone who’s ever wondered, “Why can’t I remember things the way I used to?” and is ready to understand they’re not broken—just healing.
