UNDERSTANDING THE BRAIN AND BODY IN THE EVENT OF TRAUMAWhen a traumatic event occurs, the body fills with adrenaline. The memory is absorbed by the amygdala. The amygdala is part of the limbic system. The amygdala carries the emotion of the incident, i.e. the intensity and impulsivity of emotional reactions. The amygdala is able to store the images of the trauma in sensory fragments. This means that the memory of the trauma is not recorded as a narrative, but by what our five senses felt when it happened.
Memory is stored in fragments of visual images, as well as smells, sounds, tactile or taste sensations. The front part of our brain, called the prefrontal cortex, is where the rational consciousness of the brain is located, and where processing and reasoning take place and where we interpret our language. In the event of trauma, people go into fight, flight or freeze mode, which can cause the prefrontal cortex to shut down.
The brain is chaotic and overwhelmed by the injury, and the body goes into emergency mode, which reduces the ability to reason and the structures of the brain related to language. Learn how to heal your mind with the best techniques you will find in the book. Get your copy
