Rewriting a Memory Doesn't Mean Pretending They Were GoodShe said she did not want to go back and look at the person who hurt her as if they were good. Because they were not good. And pretending otherwise felt like a lie.
That is one of the most honest things anyone has ever said to me in a session. And it is based on a misunderstanding of what we are actually doing. Your brain weighs about three and a half pounds. Hold your hands up and feel how big that is. Now, that person who hurt you, the one you are still carrying. They probably weigh 150 pounds. Is that whole person really in your brain? No. What is in there is your personalized translation of that person. You witnessed something outside you. You took it in. You filtered it through your own brain, your own experience, your own emotional system. And what got stored was not them. It was your version of them. That version may have done things wrong. It probably did. But here is what I need you to understand. When you go in and change the memory of that person inside your head, John or Joe or Jack or Jill do not change. You are not rewriting history. You are not saying it was okay. You are changing what your brain keeps recycling onto you. Because every person in your brain is actually yourself. You created your version of them. Their actions. Their voice. Their thinking process. And you do what they did too to yourself or to others without even knowing it. That is what we change. Not them. YOU. Part 2 is coming. The answer is not finished yet. The free 5-day course is where I start teaching you how this actually works in practice.
