Love's Memory
from The Positive Mind · host Kevin O'Donoghue LMHC, Niseema Dyan Diemer SEP LMT BCPP
This week Kevin and Niseema talk about research into "memory" and how our adult brains impose a memory on to our childhood brain. Statistics consistently show that the adult brain often creates a faulty "memory" of incidents that happened in the past. It's as if the brain takes a photograph of a past event and then distorts or enhances the photograph. The brain will often create a faulty memory of what love looked like in our childhood, and then project this onto future loe relationships. It can be the cause of immense, and unnecessary, suffering. It is this faulty memory that we project onto our future love relationships. -------------------------- For more information or support contact hosts Kevin O'Donoghue LMHC or Niseema Dyan Diemer SEP at: [email protected], or call 212-757-4488.
