Description: When you experience an emotionally traumatic event, the way you remember the event is very different from the way you remember a non-traumatic event. Why? Because trauma memories are stored in a different parts of the brain than non-emotionally charged memories. In this video I talk about how and why traumatic memories are so vivid and disturbing.
