In this episode, we’re exploring implicit memory — the way trauma can live in the body and nervous system, often below conscious awareness. Unlike explicit memory, which recalls facts and events, implicit memory shows up as bodily reactions, emotional charges, or automatic responses.

We’ll dive into how trauma gets encoded in the brain, how these memories can influence your daily life, and how somatic therapy can help make the implicit explicit — bringing fragmented experiences into a cohesive, healing narrative. I’ll also share tips for noticing signs of implicit memory and working with your body to integrate and heal.


Topics Explored:

  • What is Implicit Memory?

  • Explicit vs. Implicit Memory

  • How Memory is Encoded

  • Trauma and the Body’s Response

    • Somatic Therapy and Healing
