Brad Schipke explains how your nervous system reacts to triggers based on past trauma, not present danger. Processing old memories can break the conditioned response and let you respond to what's actually happening now instead of what happened before.
If there's a stimulus in your environment that reminds you of an old trauma, your body and your system reacts instantly, even if your logical mind knows you're okay, because your body measures safety by memory and emotion, not by logic. So your trauma conditions you to act in that way. But when you process those old memories, the pattern breaks. You stop reacting to the past and start responding to the present moment. And that's when safety finally becomes real again. So if you want to learn how to retrain that process and fully process your traumas, make sure to subscribe.
