When You Can’t Remember What You Lived Through

Ever come across an old photo or video and realize… you have no memory of that moment?

It can feel unsettling—like your brain skipped an entire chapter.

Here’s why: Memory isn’t just about facts—it’s deeply tied to emotions.

When emotions run too high—whether from stress, fear, exhaustion, or overload—your brain might decide, “Not now. We’re filing this away for later.”

✔️ If memories resurface suddenly, your brain might be signaling that you’re finally in a safe enough place to process them.

✔️ If they’re still missing, it doesn’t mean they’re gone forever. Your brain protected you by prioritizing survival.

✔️ If remembering feels overwhelming, you can take it at your own pace. Healing doesn’t require reliving everything at once.

You don’t have to force the past to heal the present.

You lived through it. That’s enough.
