I want to know about tricks, rituals, or any procedure that allows me to repress a traumatic memory as much as possible.
If your answer is "Meditate" or "Face the truth", do not reply to this thread.
>>40585478 (OP)Just avoid thinking about it for a while and it should all work out
>>40585483not op but what if you see or hear something that reminds you of that traumatic event
>>40585478 (OP)Take up alcoholism maybe?
>>40585478 (OP)You can't run from the darkness of your own mind forever. The longer you try, the worse it gets until you are naked and screaming at the shadow elves in times square at 3pm.
>>40585478 (OP)1. Apotheosis
2. Fountain of Forgetting
>>40585500Avoid it. Develop PTSD to protect yourself from it.
Worked for me!
>>40585917That's not how PTSD works.
Trying to protect yourself by "developing PTSD" as you so retardedly put it is like running into CQC warfare naked and unarmed.
>>40585478 (OP)I dont knpw what happened, but if it was traumatic enough to make you want to forget it I can understand that. All those scars make you who you are too, they give you your unique perspective, and let you solve problems no one else can see.
Just stop thinking about it.
>>40585969I didn’t say “protect yourself from ptsd.” I said “develop ptsd.”
Therapy. The only thing stronger than "forgetting" (which is not possible) is facing it and defeating it.
>>40585478 (OP)electro shock therapy - it hurts, but do it enough and you wont remember
Observe the memory (and any byproducts of it, thoughts, emotions etc) to such an extend that it doesn't bother you anymore.
>>40585478 (OP)play tetris if the memory is recent (if not then play tetris while recalling it), this sounds stupid byt there is real scientific studies backing it up
>>40585478 (OP)lobotomy
severe drug abuse
selfconditioning
or denying the feeling a personal space. FOr example, you think about your ex girflriend and you actively say to yourself that this has no place in your current system. it might take a while tho
>>40589068>you think about your ex girflriend and you actively say to yourself that this has no place in your current syst that's funny, ANON HAS NO GIRLFRIEND
>>40585478 (OP)if the memeory is from childhood than all you need is to smell datura flowers
>>40585478 (OP)Electrocute your brain, it erases short term memory
>>40585478 (OP)Hypnosis. It's the only way
