In this episode of our “Train Your Brain” series, we discuss the concept of trauma, memory, and our brains. We unpack how memory works, how we integrate memory, and how trauma affects our brains.

Also, in this episode…

• The difference between explicit and implicit memory
  
• Trauma and brain fragmentation
  
• What is happening on a neurological level when we are “triggered”
  
• How to prevent a potentially traumatic experience from impacting us long-term
