Repressed Memories: How to Know if You Have Past Trauma and Ways to Heal
Manage episode 341765185 series 3339840
In today's episode of "Help Me, Rhonda!," clinical psychologist Dr. Rhonda Karg discusses repressed memories, or memories from trauma that exist in our unconscious minds and not in our conscious awareness. She shares different perspectives on repressed memories and guards against hypnosis or talk therapy to help people uncover any memories of trauma from earlier in their life or their ancestors' lives, knowing trauma changes the DNA that is passed onto future generations and can help explain why we aren't aware of why something triggers us. Dr. Karg also dispels the myth that gaps in one's memory always indicates repressed memories. She also offers hope by briefly describing some of the evidence-based treatments for trauma.
