Description
We never forget anything. When we claim to forget past trauma, it’s really writing over a new memory which attempts to learn that the trauma does not apply any more. When we bring up past memory, we make it unstable, susceptible to reinterpretations from our current perspectives, creating new memories. When you try to recall the past, you reinterpret it from the present. In other words, you forget.
