I think to work on forgetting painful memories is like asking someone to not visualize a white elephant. I do think that if someone chooses not to go in depth into their issues, that the issues will surface subconsciously somehow.

The lovingly detaching from the emotional imprint part sounds like mindfulness meditation, and I am all for this. I think that accepting who we are now, accepting all of our parts, and having our emotions validated can lead to a de-escalation of symptoms. This is what I have found.
