Implicit Vs Explicit Memories

Have you heard the phrase 'if it's hysterical, it's historical?' This means if someone is overreacting, or their reaction is so out of context, there might be something from their past that's contributing to their extreme response.

Let's look at how implicit memories are formed, and how a person's adverse experiences from long ago could be contributing to current behaviors, and affecting relationships. Check it out to learn how implicit memories play a role in anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Very much appreciated this. Explains so much in a way that’s easy to understand. Thank you. 🙏

Well-spoken - extremely valuable information. Thank you!

A succinct reflection on why looking at your past, as scary as it can be, is often an essential part of resolving present pain 🩷Thank you. I listened to this to try and clarify (if the opportunity presents itself) in language my partner can understand just why I feel that it is important to me for my partner to listen to me reflect on my past experiences, and how we each may have not loved the other or ourselves optimally by unconsciously repeating our respective past defenses, before I can move on to a mostly present moment-focused existence (his desire to not hear about the ways in which his behavior may have caused me pain despite his good will). I sense this is rooted in the fact that, just like me, he is actually rather sensitive and it is very painful to hear and feel that you may have done something unconsciously or unintentionally that harmed someone you love dearly. I don’t think he has yet grasped how we are often stuck reliving our pasts in the present moment if we skip the uncomfortable and challenging step of understanding our past experiences, our default lenses or ways of seeing and interpreting the world around us, and how that is or isn’t in line with the life we want to have moving forward.
None of this is easy; thank you for being a part of my journey ❤️❤️❤️

This will make you think and approach life differently. A light bulb moment.
Thank you
