• The Neuroscience of Trauma and Memory Reconsolidation

  

  Memory reconsolidation means that when you recall a memory, it becomes flexible and can be changed. McGill research shows even traumatic memories can be updated. This helps explain why therapy can reduce the pain of trauma. With the right approach, memories lose their power, helping you heal and feel better.
