how can people erase painful memories?

Question

Is there any medical way help people to erase memories from their head?

Answer 1

I'm not sure if there is a medical way... but you know what? painful memories are quite helpful in molding yourself into a stronger person. it's just a matter of mind setting, i know it's not that easy but you just have to work that way.

time can heal those painful memories of yours. For now, you just have to learn how to appreciate the beauty of life. Try to appreciate your friends and family, spend some time with them. try to be happy, treat your self nice rather than stay in one corner and cry.

besides, how can you tell what's happiness if you dont not know pain? ^ ^

Answer 2

There is no way to 'erase' them medically. There are methods in psychiatry, meditation and many self-help programs that can give you the ability to face and come to terms with them though.

We all have painful memories...
Realize that this is the first day of the rest of your life and what you do with today, tomorrow and the rest of your future is entirely up to you. Do not let yourself place so much importance on the pains of the past that they rule today. Learn from the terrible experience what you can and use what you learn to help build a new tomorrow. Seek professional help if you need to!

Answer 3

not think about them,
Try to engage yourself into meaningful activities. Let ur mind get carried away with the things u r doing. Don't think about negative think about the positive rather. Think tomorrow. Don't think yesterday or last week. Involve in sports is a gd way too =) In whatever competive sports, when concentration is high, u r less likely to think of something else. Because u r only thinking about winning.
Or have a close somebody u can trust. Listen to solutions. If all that doesn't work, u need to seek professional help.

A professional somebody is perhaps most approprate person to approach because they truely knows what they r dealing with.

"Have you tried self-hypnosis? I dont think you can erase memories, but it may help you deal with them.... "

That actually has the potential to create false memories.

There's no way to erase memories. The key is to have a "survivor" mentality and not a "victim" mentality. If it becomes too difficult to do on your own, consider seeing a therapist. It helps a lot to be able to talk to someone else. :)

Answer 5

Bad news: you can't erase bad memories.
Good news: you can learn to deal with them and you can create more good moments and good memories that will over power and out number the bad memories so you will remember the bad less and the good more.

Self empowerment comes in many forms. Don't let the bad memories define you. You are more than one event in your life.

Answer 6

Decide to yourself, it's life that's why they call it a learning experience, so let the old water flow on down the stream and get excited about meeting new people, get out more often, have some fun for a change and stop sitting there waiting for the LOSER to call, if you can't then call me I'll help you bury the body!

Answer 8

We can earase painful memories by no caring about that thing or get busy in some oter activities so that the thought will not come in mind.

Answer 9

Yes all memories fade. We actually try to lose the bad and remember the good horoscopes and wins and pleasures. We even try to repeat pleasures but time is equal to the intensity for forgetting

Answer 10

Not by drugs, unless you want to be in a catatonic state instead.

Time will lessen their impact, but if you are hanging on to them then counselling might be worthwhile. You need to learn to stop these incidents/people still having power over you down the years.
