From the Mystical Moments Tarot, the King of Cups; from the Inner Eye Oracle, News:
The King of Cups urges us not to let churning emotions sink our ship of insight and judgment. But paired with the News card, it brings up recent research that explains why this is particularly hard for those who've experienced trauma. The study found the memories of “sad” and “calm” events triggered the brain’s hippocampus, which is known to play a role in long-term memory. However, researchers found that when recalling traumatic events, multiple disruptions were triggered in the brain, including hyperactivity within both the amygdala (that processes emotions) and posterior cingulate cortex (internally directed cognition). Instead of recalling an experience, they relived it. Drama queens and trauma survivors have clear neurological differences; as such, their therapy should not be assumed to be look the same.
