How to Forget Bad Memories Permanently (Psychology Explained)

Описание: Do you find yourself replaying painful memories on repeat? That embarrassing moment from years ago, the breakup that still stings, or traumatic experiences you wish you could erase? Your brain isn't broken—it's doing exactly what evolution designed it to do. But here's the good news: neuroscience has discovered that memories aren't permanent recordings. They're editable files that change every time you access them.

In this video, I break down the fascinating science of memory reconsolidation and reveal evidence-based techniques that can actually change how your brain stores traumatic memories. Learn why bad memories stick harder than good ones (negativity bias), how EMDR therapy achieves 84-90% success rates in just 3 sessions, and practical methods you can use today to reprocess painful experiences.

✅ How EMDR therapy rewires traumatic memories
✅ The Rewind Technique for processing painful experiences
