Discussion: Can we replace the components of a bad traumatic memory?? Lets suppose I am a survivor of rape who feels triggered and gets flashbacks in certain things like smell of a certain perfume because my rapist used it, Certain sounds of a car because while i was raped a car was passing by. Some of these components actually gives rise to bad memories. Next time when i will pass around someone who uses the same perfume i will feel triggered and memories will come back. But what if we alter the memories a little which can be triggering at first but good in long run. I personally feel it is not the component that triggers the bad memories it is the memories attached with it that does the damage. So lets suppose someone i love dearly starts using that perfume while having a wonderful time with her or lets suppose i go to a picnic in the same branded car with my friends and have a wonderful day an unforgettable good day then can we alter the bad memories and completely get rid of our triggers??? Please comment
