There Cozolino wrote: "Despite a conscious awareness that something may be wrong, the hidden layers of neural processing continue to organize the world based on the prior experiences that shaped them. As we will see in later chapters, the neural circuitry involved with fear has a tenacious memory and can invisibly influence conscious awareness for a lifetime. Part of psychodynamic therapy is an exploration and uncovering of this unconscious organization of experience. Freud’s projective hypothesis described the process by which our brains create and organize the world around us. As the clarity of a situation decreases, the brain naturally generates structure and projects it onto the world. The way we organize and und
