Re: Any way to erase a memory?I don't think it is possible. Various forms of therapy can help you come to terms with whatever is bothering you, which is ultimately a much better remedy than simply brushing it under the carpet, where it might resurface.

Re: Any way to erase a memory?"Nothing fixes a thing so intensely in the memory as the wish to forget it." - Michel de Montaigne
I think the above quote is very true. Sorry that you've experienced something difficult, but dealing with it is a lot better than trying to forget it happened. -

Re: Any way to erase a memory?I don't know how hypnotherapy works, but the more sustainable solution is to deal with the thoughts rather than push them away. Psychotherapy can help you understand what happened and how it made you feel, and then you can come to terms with what happened and explore ways of how to deal with it.(Original post by ladyliberty)

Re: Any way to erase a memory?CBT works for some people, kinda difficuilt to know exactly what your problem is, but definately try it/ research it (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
It won't "erase your memory", but it, well for many people, can change the way you see yourself/things.Last edited by nickss; 24-04-2012 at 11:03.
