Your memories are not static.
They are living systems.
Every time a memory is activated — when you feel the fear, the shame, the contraction — the brain opens a brief window where that memory becomes flexible again.
In that window, something extraordinary is possible.
When the body experiences new conditions while the memory is open — regulation, support, choice, self-leadership — the nervous system encodes a new story alongside the old one.
This is the biological basis of healing trauma.
We do not overwrite the past.
We integrate new meaning into the way it is carried.
This is how long-standing patterns finally loosen.
Not by reliving pain — but by allowing safety to arrive where it was once absent.
