Healing Trauma Patterns
Trauma isn't limited to extreme events; it encompasses any experience that triggers a heightened state of alert in our nervous system. Recognizing these patterns from childhood can illuminate why we react the way we do in our adult lives. The memories that linger often stem from negative experiences, but it’s crucial to consciously build a narrative that acknowledges the positive as well. Understanding how trauma is stored in the body rather than just the mind reveals the profound impact it has on our behavior today.In this clip

Is it fair to say that the brain can build on traumatic memories, preventing a person from taking actions that could allow them to heal themselves, as discussed in the episodes "Something Scary Happened The Other Day and I Wanted To Talk To You About It" | Mel Robbins Podcast and "478: Are you metabolizing your trauma?" | Functional medicine expert Will Cole, D.C.? For example, I produced a huge activation, which was the largest success of my career, that opened on my mother's birthday. Two weeks later, she died in her sleep. Now, when I attempt to work on large, challenging projects like this one, I can start the process creatively but have great trouble following through on distributing it to people who could help me execute it. Is that a fair analysis of how my mind is perceiving my actions as leading to a similar tragic outcome?

If the goal is to diminish the physiological response, then if a person works to change their physiological response immediately after being triggered, would that over time also diminish the physiological response and therefore break the conditioning?
