#39: Episode 39 – "Repressed Memories, Flashbacks & False Memory Myths: How to Know If It Really Happened

 

If you’ve ever questioned whether a flashback was real or felt terrified you were “making it all up,” this episode is for you. Today, I dive deep into one of the most common (and misunderstood) trauma responses: repressed memory and dissociative amnesia.

🔍 I break down:

  • What repressed memories really are

  • How and why the brain fragments traumatic experiences

  • The signs your body is remembering something before your mind can

  • Why intrusive thoughts and flashbacks are not random hallucinations

  • My personal story of uncovering memories during a meditation and how that shifted everything

💥 This episode will validate the hell out of you if you've ever thought:
"Is this memory real… or am I broken for thinking it?"

Because here’s the truth:
👉 Your brain doesn’t make this stuff up for no reason.
👉 Self-trust is the key to healing.
👉 And you're not alone in what you're remembering.

🎧 Tune in now to understand your mind, your body, and your memories in a whole new way.
