Or you can have these narratives of shame and so forth and guilt and anger and so forth. I'm not judging anybody's reaction to trauma. But what I am saying is that's part of the emotional response. It's part of the memory that people construct.

The problem is that with traumatic memories, when they do stick, it's hard to change because there's so much plasticity driven by the neuromodulators during that event. With PTSD, I mean, we could talk about that as a whole other thing, but let's just take traumatic memories. It's so intense, and the amygdala response drives the physiology in many cases of that arousal.

which makes you feel like this immediacy of it, right? And it affects sleep and nightmares also. But anyway, stay out of PTSD for a moment because that's a whole other thing. But those memories are very resistant because of that intensity. And often the more we retrieve them, we re-traumatize ourself.

So reframing in a cognitive therapy sense is very difficult because they feel this and their brain is telling them I'm under threat or I'm ashamed because they've reinforced this narrative so many times. And you can work through the logic, but sometimes you need to create some big prediction error to generate some error-driven learning, which is something we can talk about, or

you need some kind of help. So if you're driving neuromodulatory systems, that theoretically could give you a broader window of plasticity. In fact, actually, we're trying Prozac on my dog. And one of the things that I've seen- Why?

She's very anxious.

And it's to the point where she'll not exercise, even though she's a very active dog. She'll stop on a walk if she hears a garbage truck anywhere. And so it's a very low dose. And I'm not necessarily saying go drug your dogs.
