I haven't heard off anything to that affect under those circumstances. Honestly, I don't know if doing something like that would be a good, or bad thing! I suppose one could get hypnotised to change their thought, but the problem as I know it, is that memories cannot be erased as such, and regardless how much you try and dispell them, they will return at some point in your life. It would only take a smell, touch, sight or sound to trigger the memory, which could be more detramental than previous, as it has been suppressed for so long.
I have multiple traumas from war service, and peace keeping service, different countries, different places, a varied events, none of which I believe I could ever erase as such. A counsellor once said something similar too me, in that if I could forget them, then maybe I could get over them... at which point I about laughed, and left. If it where possible to erase a memory, hell... everyone would be doing it, from family deaths, trauma, bad incidents, abuse, rape, etc etc etc... I think most would probably have to fight the rape and sexual assault victims for the front of the line!
The only way that I know of logically to help with memories, is to face each one head on, so that its no longer such a significant trauma in your life, and memories.
If you find an answer to that one though, please do tell us all. |
