Webinar 2 - The Archiving of Memory
There is a reaction to every experience. The event was pleasant or unpleasant; and there are countless nuances to each general category, for example, a pleasant experience may make one feel special or respected or happy whereas an unpleasant one may be demeaning or frightening or even life-threatening. On top of these adjectives, there were specific features involving places, people, animals, sounds, smells, colors, apparel, and so on. In any given situation, we do not know with certainty what additional characteristics will be associated with the event. To unlock memory, we need to find the particular keys by following a complex set of clues, and the setting for such adventures must feel safe and protected.
