5 Signs of Emotional Amnesia, A Trauma Response

Are you or someone you know experiencing gaps in emotional memory or a disconnect from past feelings? This could be a sign of emotional amnesia, a common response to trauma. Emotional amnesia is a defense mechanism against overwhelming emotions associated with a triggering and traumatic memory, unlike general amnesia, which primarily affects factual or autobiographical memories. Left unaddressed, this trauma response can ultimately lead to greater emotional dysregulation, even long after the traumatic event has passed.

In this video, we explore five key signs of emotional amnesia and how it manifests within a person. Understanding these signs can help in recognizing unhealed trauma and taking steps towards mental health recovery.
