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, based on the examples from the Huberman Lab Podcast episode 'If You're SICK & TIRED Of Being Pushed Around, WATCH THIS!' with Jenn Cassetta and the clip 'Empathy Through Loss'? For instance, I produced a significant activation, which was the largest success of my career, that opened on my mother's birthday. Two weeks later, she died in her sleep. Now, when I attempt to work on large, challenging projects like this one, I can start the process creatively but have great trouble following through on distributing it to people who could help me execute it. Is that a fair analysis of how my mind is perceiving my actions as leading to a similar tragic outcome?
If one were to induce stress for a short period of time, let's say by taking a cold shower for 5 minutes, and during this time, the person would not recall or tell the narrative of trauma but simply learn to keep a calm mind in this stressed state, would it still be effective in the process of healing from trauma and fear?
I have a question about the episode #444: Shifting Stress into Strength: Cold Exposure & Breathwork with Kristin Weitzel and the clip Embracing Responsibility. Why do people easily fall into the trap of a victim mindset, and is it bad to be stuck in one? How can I avoid it properly? I often feel that the reason I overthink and have deep thoughts is because my father tortured and abandoned my mother and me during my childhood. This question is in relation to the episodes "Solo: Finding Your Identity, Core Beliefs, Keeping Your Own Promises, Self Validation, Success & Adult Hobbies," "Why You FEEL LOST In Life & How To Find Your TRUE SELF AGAIN | Marisa Peer & Lewis Howes," the clip "Healing Childhood Wounds," and the episode "#105: Coming Home to Your Body with Tami Amanda" and the clip "Overcoming Shame."
