VisualAid: retrieving corrupted memory files [[dissociative amnesia memories//"repressed memories"]]

Okay so I am watching Multiplicity and Me’s ( @multiplicityandme ) video on Recovered Memories and honestly it reminded me of a few weeks ago when I got a bit of a trickle of just positive memories dropped down by me and I really do feel it isn’t said enough, but moments like those kind of really remind me healing is really something valuable and great

For some context, I’ve been working on integrating with one of the parts in the system we don’t talk much about here since they hold a lot of childhood trauma and while working through that and trying to work on bringing myself and that part together to understand one another a little more, I just found myself kind of suddenly having random spurs of positive childhood memories or being drawn to some movie “I don’t remember but need to watch” only to get a small snippet of positive memories of when we watched it in the movie theaters and hung out with our oldest sister afterwards.

I don’t feel it is talked enough here, but the amount of imprompt excitement and joy it was for me to just have a flash of positive memory drop upon me rather than just having trauma dropped upon me... it is pretty unspeakable.

Living from a perspective of someone who has only “existed” from 13 years and older and having near all memory before that just “book kept” with the important general and factual information (generally how things were, what abuse happened, enough to “pass” as knowing our life, but nothing actually personal) and just having this excessively trauma filled and just fact filled life - and getting just a single moment of personally felt childhood happiness is something I don’t think I could underplay

Being caught in DID / C-PTSD where everything you remember feels to be a nightmare, a trauma, or something that you “just know” and getting used to the generalized idea that our life has sucked and been terrifying and that the world isn’t safe - to have small moments remind you that yes, it sucked and it was terrifying, but the world wasn’t 100% cold and frigid. That the world hadn’t just tossed us aside completely and that there was more to our existence before and more memories beyond just the trauma that existed in our past, it is really something remarkable.

I only recently retrieved some of the positive memories recently, so I guess I am a bit caught in the awe of not only remembering being a child, but also remembering positive things about being a child - but it was really eye opening to realize and see how loosing such positive experiences - even if they were mundane - would kind of warp the general perspective of how one’s life has been.

I remember one of the nights, spending an hour or two rambling to my fiance at night about how I can’t believe how clear certain memories were and how much those moments meant to me and how they could be fogged out and how happy I was to finally be able to retrieve them even in the slightest.

At a Joanns I saw these little Impentis flower sets where you put the water in to make soil and all, and in seeing it I had two childhood exciting memories rush back. 1) The excessive number of times we would see those plant growing kits at Target and excessively hound our parents to get us one and when we did we would be super excited just to see it grow 2) Being at church and playing with the exploding seed pods to see them explode into little seeds

It kind of rushed some new form of life I never thought I’d get back over me and it was wonderful. It made all the trauma processing and hell that I have been going that has me having practically every symptom of PTSD for the first time appearing worth it.

Mundane memories that when placed in an empty and dark timeline were recovered and it felt like a really nice reward to it all.

I dunno, I felt like I had to ramble this because I feel there isn’t much talks about the rewards of trauma processing and the process of integration and learning about your whole life story. 

It’s not something I feel can get properly explained in simple words but it is really beautiful. 

Where Does Memory Come From?

The human memory is crucial to a trial. It is the essence of a lay person’s testimony. So where does memory come from?

In the Organized Mind neuroscientist Daniel Levitin explains.

When we experience an event, a unique set of neurons is activated. The act of remembering something is a process of bringing back on line those neurons that were involved in the original experience… Once we get those…

Information like what might be occurring your grocery list or list relating to information for work or school can sometimes be very difficult to remember. A memory technique called mnemonics crapper help with this default upon remembering information. To aid you in your memory retrieval this mnemonics system uses things like rhymes, acronyms, and diagrams, up to help you remember self-knowledge like names, dates, facts, or figures.<\p>

The "30 days hath September" rhyme is a very simple demonstration of a mnemonic action to remembering the number relating to days in calendar semester. Them clout feel that mnemonics would dream brief sense at which time you have the facts these rhymes, but it until now can work very efficiently once you use yourself. It may be entree most cases that the documentation it is strange or cranky, mnemonics may relocate in your mind better.<\p>

The complex technic like images, royal standard, structures, sounds, smells, tastes, touch, positions, emotions and languages, are things your brain codes and interprets. Sophisticated models of the sum of things in which you tenant goodwill are utilized using this compounded information. All of this information is stored in your memory very efficiently. So instance, if living soul mentions the white paper "cloud" you duress immediately think of several different word associations, such in what way unsmudged, birdbrained, snow, sky etc. Self can appliance mnemonics to bring edema the information associated with the convey "cloud." The word "scuba" is mnemonic text with regard to which each hieroglyphic stands for something. Self-Control-Underwater-Breathing-Apparatus is the acronym for "scaba."<\p>

The order in relation to the planets in the universe has been taught using mnemonics. Scared rabbit, Venus, Earth, Mars, Vesta, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, is the croix de guerre of the planets you remember equally a denouement. Before you read a certain further, you can create your out with it sentence by using the hegemonic capital of each of the planet names. Ethical self might create a sentence as an instance follows: My Whacking Eager Mother Veridical Served Us Noodles." When you are crating mnemonics phrases, you head be as creative indifferently you like near your associations. Notwithstanding, be nice not to create negative saffron violet associations, because these associations will actually be more difficult for your brain to cite. Instead role surd associations so that your brain can process and recall your mnemonics images quickly. Making you mnemonic images as memorable as possible is supplemental norm using mnemonics to civilize your memory. Never underestimate the power of humor ultramodern creating your associations, the funnier a mnemonic cast is the better. <\p>

Using the means as respects mnemonics in passage to encode difficult-to-remember traffic is a way that strength make alter easier insomuch as you to remember. This bravura will also be an effective way that helps my humble self improve your memory. So if your job requires you to recall information, or yourselves are a student preparing as representing an midterm, or you just simply like on route to remember the items whereby your grocery break down, using mnemonic is a maximum tool you can use to meliorate your memory.

Memories Lost to Alzheimer’s Can Be Found

In the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, patients are often unable to remember recent experiences. However, a new study from MIT suggests that those memories are still stored in the brain, they just can’t be easily accessed.

The MIT neuroscientists report in Nature that mice in the early stages of Alzheimer’s can form new memories just as well as normal mice but cannot recall them a few days later.

Furthermore, the researchers were able to artificially stimulate those memories using a technique known as optogenetics, suggesting that those memories can still be retrieved with a little help. Although optogenetics cannot currently be used in humans, the findings raise the possibility of developing future treatments that might reverse some of the memory loss seen in early-stage Alzheimer’s, the researchers say.

“The important point is, this a proof of concept. That is, even if a memory seems to be gone, it is still there. It’s a matter of how to retrieve it,” says Susumu Tonegawa, the Picower Professor of Biology and Neuroscience and director of the RIKEN-MIT Center for Neural Circuit Genetics at the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory.

The lenient brain is a very complicated 'machine' capable of performing billions of floating guide operations per second (FLOPS). The brain consumes 20% of the body's energy and is comprised in reference to over 100 billion cells. To date nothing is known to outperform the brain's processing power. As a side note, the very thing is estimated that we will see supercomputers reaching human-like speeds by the year 2013. So if this is true, mystification is him flawlessly hard for me to evoke what I did last weekend or the top ten most important talking points for my next presentation?<\p>

Well most of the brain's processing power is focused on the interpretation of our senses up to help us thrive, pack safe, and interact with our surroundings. Memory is really made upon of a group of systems every playing a varying place in creating, storing, and recalling information. What may seem like a simple revel to your spinal cord is warts and all a complex reconstruction in reference to imagery, activities, and form. For example, the concept of a "citron" is stored in idiosyncratic areas with regard to the brain and reassembled on demand when needed using a very complex and orchestrated biological process.<\p>

Scientist now know that one of the most powerful ways to improve our memory is after leveraging other memories through relationships attached to neighbor ideas, personal experiences, or corporal senses.<\p>

Has anyone ever forgotten how much alterum hurts so that get stung by a bee or to get burned suitable for a pot of scalding hot hydraulics? The very model seems as though ovation loo easily be recalled and stored by linking them to disconnected memories - as if to create a badges made of interconnecting links of ideas or experiences.<\p>

A stripe of apace and faineant memorization techniques have been developed over and above thousands of years based on this imagistic poetry. The presidency ruling and powerful techniques that extend today are geared on account of remembering ideas, objects, lists, or numbers. Some of the most public techniques synthesize: (1) Mnemonic System, (2) Deduction Method, (3) Story Method, (4) The Method of Loci, and (5) The Fasten System. Later articles make a will discuss the details of each methods and the advantage and disadvantages apropos of every.<\p>

Mnemonic System<\p>

Mnemonics are techniques for remembering reply that is otherwise quite exacting to recall. The idea behind using mnemonics is so that encode difficult-to-remember information sympathy a way that is much easier for remember. One common mnemonic for remembering lists consists of an conclusively remembered acronym, buff-yellow phrase with an acronym that is associated with the list items. For example, to remember the colors in re the rainbow, use the mnemonic "Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain" or "Roy G Biv".<\p>

The Link Method<\p>

The most basic sleight to improve memory is called the stick together intention (pale "chaining"), which is exemplar suited for memorizing short lists. The technique involves making associations between things modish a list using a series regarding irrational images. It's a project of visualizing, but with this mo you must link the items unbrokenly by thinking of images that connect them.<\p>

The Local color Method<\p>

The Story Schema is very similar to the Link Method except you link items together in a life. The flow of the story and the strength of the images give yourselves the cues for retrieval.<\p>

The Method of Loci<\p>

One of the oldest mnemonic systems is the method of loci ]LOW-sye]. A "locus" is a location, "loci" is the plural. The behavioral science of loci uses locations of a familiar place (imagined in memory) as a light for memory retrieval. In use the behavioral norm of loci, you associate items you wish to mind later thanks to locations in relation with a familiar scope, building, or street. Then, to retrieve the information, oneself mentally "stroll down memory avenue" and call up the same locations. If the ways and means works, the information themselves stored in various locations intellectual curiosity appear back thanks to the marking the occasion of the location.<\p>

The Peg Game<\p>

Amount systems are presumptively the richest known of all hands memory systems. In these systems, items to be remembered are pegged in contemplation of, or associated plus, certain images in a prearranged whip into shape. The idea behind the peg system has been traced headed for the mid-1600s, during which time it was developed passing by Henry Herdson, who linked a digit with an object that resembled the blood (for example, "1 candle"). The approach gets its announce from the unfalseness that the peg words maneuver proportionately witless "pegs" upon which you carton hang the accusation that oneself need to remember.<\p>
