Default Brainwashing? Does it work?

Erm hi I'm new to this forum so please pardon me if this is the wrong spot to place this thread. :confused:

Anyways I have a question. Possibly for people who have had PTSD for longer, like 10 years.

If one has PTSD from a number of incidents in life and gets flashbacks is it possible to brainwash oneself to believe some of the incidents were a figment of my imagination? I'm so desperate to decrease the number of incidents to a more manageable number. I just want them to disappear from my mind even just for a week at a time. So far most of the time I manage to convince myself that I just imagined the whole incident but sometimes I get full-on re-enactments totally uncontrolled.

Has anyone done this before? Have you succeeded and does it last? Please advice!
