The human brain creates a false memory just a few seconds after the event!
People may misremember events, often within seconds, and reshape memories to fit their expectations. Previous studies have shown that people's perception of their surroundings can be shaped by their expectations, which can lead to delusions. People's long-term memories can also be shaped to fit their expectations, sometimes generating false memories.

Panic Attack Aftercare
Let’s talk about trauma aftercare. I have CPTSD. Today I woke up from a bad nightmare in an active panic attack. Nightmares are traumatic. They feel just like the real trauma that happened. This means that after I come out of the panic attack (treated with medication, self-talk, affirmations, grounding techniques, and active comfort), I need to take care of myself in ways I wouldn’t otherwise. I will need to actively reassure myself that I no longer have that trauma in my life. I will need extra reassurance from partners, and I might have to cancel activities to rest. I had to learn how to do these things. Our society teaches us that we should “suck it up” and move on, but that’s not actually how brains work. We have to reteach our brains that we are no longer in physical, emotional, sexual, mental, or psychological danger. That’s hard. That’s complicated. That’s not being a good capitalist. So we stockpile trauma, which isn’t good for anyone. So today I heal, at least the trauma from my nightmare. It’s probably going to involve a whopper (with cheese, no pickles, onion or ketchup), and a lot of reassuring myself that I have every right to nurture myself through food. It will require rest, and puppy snuggles, but in the end I will be more whole, I won’t have that trauma to pass on to others, and healing myself also heals the collective. Healing myself helps heal you, and vice versa. So we will heal together, we will commune together, and we will find joy together. Together we are stronger than trauma. Together, nothing can stop us.

The Reality of Sickness
I was 14 years old when my body betrayed me. I was just a kid. I remember it acutely. After being the subject of ruthless middle school bullying-and freedom from an unflattering dress code-I was ready to descend upon the world as a new me.

Lifting the veil of sadness
There’s an undercurrent of loneliness and isolation to everyday life. Its intensity varies. It’s not always apparent, though it’s always with us. It might creep up on you while walking down a street full of people and feeling disconnected from everyone you see; or when you have an opportunity to speak one-on-one with an interesting colleague at work, but just can’t make the intimate connection you’d hoped; or when someone disappoints you and you feel despondent, weak, and humiliated.
