When you’re reminded of a traumatic experience, your amygdala goes into overdrive, acting as though you were experiencing the trauma for the first time. The prefrontal cortex becomes suppressed, so you’re less capable of controlling your fear and then you become stuck in a purely reactive state. This is what makes it hard to process thoughts and emotions when triggered/activated. It also leads to reduced activity in the hippocampus, which functions to tell the difference between past and present, so your brain can’t tell the difference between the actual traumatic event and the memory of it.
