So this was kind of this carpe diem reset for me.

But the point here of this story is that I don't remember any of it.

Like, rough.

But is trauma not like somewhat like burnt in your memory?

Well, so here's the question.

from that.

And, you know, that was a lot of friction.

But maybe that speaks to this innate intelligence of the body-mind of not retaining all of that.

You know, because you said something interesting before about some emotional trauma is actually like a stuck memory, you know, like this guy David Lenson calls it temporal dislocation.

So the trauma gets stuck

And you're actually bringing that to the doorstep of every moment.

So you're kind of like living as if that past thing was happening to you now, and it's affecting your biochemistry and so on and so forth.

And one of the things that happens in psychedelic experience when they do trauma work is that it puts you in a state of consciousness in which not only can you visit the trauma, but dissolve the stuckness of it.

You know, they say the body keeps the score.

That's the book about trauma.

And so that's an interesting thing is like to be in a state of consciousness where you feel somatically safe enough to like go back to it, visit it, look at it, acknowledge it, and also realize it's in the past.

It's not here now and it doesn't have to be.

And yeah, so I just think that's...

That's how we could potentially deal with that.

If our body doesn't do it with its own innate intelligence in your case.
