    Tous les lundis à 11 heures, elle était prise d'une crise de panique. Cela n'avait aucun sens. Jusqu'à ce qu'elle se souvienne de 1991.

    Le corps n'oublie jamais : une histoire qui se passe le lundi à 11 heures

    A woman came to therapy with a strange problem: Every Monday at 11am, she had a panic attack. But only indoors. If she went outside, the panic disappeared.

    It made no sense. Until she remembered.

    1991. Age 11. Monday morning. 11am. An earthquake while she was alone with her grandmother on the 4th floor. She was terrified.

    Fast forward 30 years. Her body still remembers. Every Monday at 11am, if she's inside, her nervous system screams: "DANGER! Get outside NOW!"

    She's an adult. She knows it's irrational. But her body doesn't care. It's trying to save her from a threat that happened three decades ago.

    This is exactly what happens with fear of flying. Your body feels sensations in the plane (vibration, confinement, loss of ground) that match old traumatic memories. Your nervous system activates protection mode.

    The airplane isn't the problem. The memory is.

    Your body is trying to protect you. It's just protecting you from the wrong thing.

    En bref

    Tous les lundis à 11 heures, elle était prise d'une crise de panique. Cela n'avait aucun sens. Jusqu'à ce qu'elle se souvienne de 1991.
