    If you've experienced trauma, you need to know this. Trauma-related memory loss is a protective brain mechanism that tries to protect you from distressing memories.

In this episode we talk about the different types of memory loss and what you can do about it.

    I had to say goodbye to my mom all over again this week. My old car finally needed to be replaced and it was the last place that I had carried memories of her with me.
