• Memories evolve and change. Immediately after a memory is laid down, it undergoes a lengthy process of integration and reinterpretation—a process that automatically happens in the mind/brain without any input from the conscious self.

As we have seen, in PTSD this process fails and the memory remains stuck—undigested and raw.
