Big Question
What emotions am I avoiding?

- Key Learning
- Emotional Memory systems in the brain attach dangerous memories to relevant negative emotions and unconsciously protect us from them.
- Path to Move Forward
- We must learn to name and feel our big emotions so we can dig for the dangerous memories attached to them.
