英语课
Hostess:This morning in Health Watch bad memories. They can be the hardest ones to forget, no matter how hard we try,and that is now confirmed by a recent study. Phsycologist and Early Show contributor Robin 1 Goodman is here to tell us about it.Good morning, Robin.
Robin:Good morning!
Hostess:The study suggusts that bad memories stick more firmly with us than good ones,why is that?
Robin:One of things they found is the emotion in the tense supposition that is associated with them, and also the images, so like we see,when you see earthquakes,it's not just tearing about them, it is seeing or experiencing something and it's in your mind,literally, kind of burnt in there.
Hostess:So does that mean that when we say bad memories we are referring to calamities 2 like a bridge collapse,or is it everyday things like a fight you have with somebody?
Robin:well,they are saying that of course it's those horrible things that happened. But those everyday things, so you may have had a presentation,and everybody thought it was great, but your boss really criticized it. You had intense emotional reaction,and then you were remembering where you, where,what was going on. Or you would tease so much on them, baseball team as it can. Now you are avoiding the company softball team. So those things do kind of stick with you.
Hostess:It's so true, they may say a million good things about your presentation, one, the one bad thing is the thing you remember.That is so true.
Robin:Yeah, it's like feeling embarrassed to death.
Hostess:Yeah, Ha,now I was talking a little bit to harrier about this. 9/11, I wasn't even there, but we covered the story so much,saw so many images.I remember a 911 call from a woman in the towers to her husband. Until this day it's so vivid in my mind.Why is that?
Robin:That's what they are saying and actually neuro-scientists helped us understand that.The things are kind of coded in our brain, in terms of how we felt, what we saw, what we smelled on all those things and it's not the verbal associations,it's all those really sensations that we have.
Hostess:The senses.If we have a bad memory that we just can't shake, is it better, Robin, to just ignore it or confront it?
Robin:Well, the interesting thing is the study said don't try to just forget it. That doesn't work because it's so intense. You can't just weal it away. What you do wanna do is confront it. Sometimes expose yourself really to a practice, have new associations. Learn how to calm yourself down in the situation, rather than avoid it coz that just doesn't necessarily work.
Hostess:But confronting it, I imagine, if it's a really bad thing, might require some help,right? When do you know when you need help?
Robin:Well when it's interfering 3 with you life when you're not going out, when you're not traveling, when you are avoiding certain places or situations, then you do wanna get some help. And there is these ways to do when you are confronted with it,learn how to calm yourself down, and create new associations and better ones and feel in control which is a big part of the problem.
Can you think of a scenario 4 or an example?
Robin:Well certainly somebody that might be afraid to go over bridges after they saw the collapse,or you wanna talk to yourself, you wanna maybe practice driving on just a small bridge. And then gradually as you're coming feeling more confident, go over another one or go with someone that can help you feel better coz there are ways to them. Just get yourself to get over it.
Hostess:Alright.Robin Goodman,good stuff, thank you so much.
