Is it fair to say that the brain can build on traumatic memories, preventing a person from taking actions that could allow them to heal themselves, as discussed in the episodes "Something Scary Happened The Other Day and I Wanted To Talk To You About It" | Mel Robbins Podcast and "478: Are you metabolizing your trauma?" | Functional medicine expert Will Cole, D.C.?
