memoria traumática

Memoria traumática refers to a type of memory where traumatic events are intensely stored in the brain, often with vivid, intrusive details. These memories can be triggered unexpectedly, causing emotional distress or flashbacks, as if reliving the trauma. Unlike normal memories, traumatized memories may feel disorganized or overwhelming, and the individual might struggle to distinguish them from present reality. This phenomenon is common in conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and highlights how the brain processes and preserves traumatic experiences in a unique, often distressing way.
