1288: The Smell of Memory: Why a Scent Can Take You Back in Time
In today's episode, Gina shares more knowledge about the importance of scent and aroma in our lives and our anxiety recovery. In particular, the connection between scent, memory, emotion (and anxiety) is discussed. The Proust phenomenon in particular is discussed: how scents can trigger intense autobiographical memories from our past and bring back past experiences to the present (and how this can aid us on our anxiety recovery and emotional stabilization journey). An exercise using scent is recommended for listeners.
