Remember that embarrassing thing you did fifteen years ago? Your brain brings it up enough already. Now imagine remembering your past so vividly that the feelings come back with it.This week, Chris and Ed flash back to when they explored hyperthymesia, a rare ability to recall personal experiences in extraordinary detail, and the case of a 17-year-old who describes filing her memories in rooms inside her mind. She's got mental binders, a room for cooling down, and a chest holding a painful loss.SHOW NOTESOriginally aired on Patreon: 11/05/25Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/scared-all-the-time--7084296/support.Get the latest episodes of our bonus show NEW FEAR UNLOCKED -- and a whole lot more! -- by supporting the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ScaredAllTheTime
