Your Memory Is Lying to You. Here's Proof.

Описание: I’ve had arguments with friends and partners where we both swore the same event happened two different ways. That confusion used to frustrate me. Over time I learned something more interesting: memory is not a perfect recording. It’s a reconstructive, creative process that changes every time we recall it.

In this video I walk through key experiments, like Elizabeth Loftus’s work on suggestion, the science of reconsolidation, and why emotional memories feel so certain even when they are unreliable. I also share practical takeaways: why forgetting can be healthy, how to anchor important memories, and how to hold curiosity when other people remember differently.

If you’re curious about why your brain edits your past, why eyewitness testimony can be flawed, and how therapy can actually change how a memory feels, this one’s for you. Stick around to the end for small, usable tips you can try tomorrow.
