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 episode If You're SICK & TIRED Of Being Pushed Around, WATCH THIS! | Jenn Cassetta and the clip Empathy Through Loss? For example, I produced a huge activation, which was the largest success of my career, that opened on my mother's birthday. Two weeks later, she died in her sleep.

In the episode The Mental Game, Part 2 | Dr. Michael Gervais | EntreLeadership and the clip Mastering Emotional Instability, Andrew talks about a process to erase fear and traumas, stating that first, you need to extinguish the fear or trauma by retelling the narrative.
