One of the worst things about exotrauma, is that having a traumatic memory of an event can cause you to fixate on that moment in time and it’s consequences.

It can make you unable to remember the ways things got better after that and you healed from that moment.

Exotrauma can force you to ‘redo’ pain and struggle that you’ve already healed from, because you can’t remember anything but that hurt.

It an actively keep you from being able to remember things that aren’t trauma.
