Your mind is not failing you — it’s protecting you.
 In Episode 4 of the Trauma Symptoms Mini-Series, Dr. Abhimanyou Raathore, founder of the Antifragilient OS, explores the cognitive ways trauma reshapes how we think, decide, and see ourselves.

We look at seven key patterns:

  • Decision paralysis that keeps you stuck
  • The relentless inner critic that won’t let up
  • Brain fog and trouble concentrating
  • Confusion and disorientation
  • Memory gaps that shield you from pain
  • Rumination loops that replay worst-case scenarios
  • Negative self-beliefs that feel impossible to change

Rather than treating these as flaws, Dr. Raathore reframes them as sophisticated survival strategies your brain created in response to overwhelming experiences. With awareness and the right support, these patterns can be rewired — and your relationship with your own mind can transform.

This episode offers both validation and clarity, giving you language for experiences you might have struggled to explain. It’s a step toward reclaiming your mental space and preparing for our next instalment, where we’ll explore the physical symptoms of trauma.
