Your Brain Rewrites Your Memories (Every Time)

Описание: That memory you’re sure about? It’s been edited.
Every recall is a rewrite — not a replay — and your brain keeps changing the details, the emotion, and the meaning… without asking you.

This is "The Self-Editor"—your brain's invisible system for rewriting your past using who you are right now.

In this video, I break down:

Why your most certain memories are often the most edited

How a single word can change what you "remember"

Why your worst memories keep getting worse

The three questions that help you become the author of your own story


📚 RESEARCH MENTIONED:

Memory Reconsolidation (neuroscience research)

Elizabeth Loftus - Misinformation Effect studies

Fading Affect Bias (emotional memory research)

💭 THE THREE QUESTIONS:

Is this what happened—or what my brain assembled?

What context is missing?

How would I tell this story about a friend?

If this changed how you see your own mind, there's more where this came from. Subscribe for more psychology and mental models.
