Our nervous system keeps score. We might not remember but our body does.

Complete transcript: I can't remember my childhood

Self: I have no memories from my childhood, is that normal?

Therapist: It is. Your home was really chaotic. Your parents were always stressed out and fighting. You grew up in an environment where you could only focus on keeping yourself safe, so the memories are in your body. You just can't recall those memories because you were dissociated.

Self: What do you mean?

Therapist: Well they're stored in your nervous system that's why you jump when someone walks into the room or why you always have this feeling like something bad is about to happen, even when everything is calm. Or why you struggle to trust people when you're in a relationship.
