This session focuses on the process of memory and how trauma affects memory. We will explore how memories are formed, how they are retrieved, and the effect trauma has on this process. This session includes information about memory consolidation. Dr. Tanner combines neurological information and simple English explanations to help attendees understand the complex relationship between trauma and memory. If you work with traumatized clients, this session will be helpful in understanding their recollections and help you adjust your approach.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the basis of memory consolidation and retrieval
Understand how trauma affects both memory recording and retrieval
Learn new approaches to working with memory retrieval by traumatized clients
