Perna, thank you so much for your detailed and informative response.

So, if I understand you correctly, you're saying that we can take these memories and try to 'reframe' their meanings. So, spewing and venting isn't necessary but acknowledging the memory and learning from it, will be useful.

Maybe it's a question of zeroing in, focusing on an event or an experience and then the process of change can begin. To just randomly experience and re-experience pain would not achieve the same result. Indeed, that would harden the old grooves in the brain.

Perna, is that what you think?
