I don't mind if you do, Rod. You know the address. But perhaps before you do that I should get up to speed on the research that went into it, so that I'd be more likely to understand it. The neuroscience background. Penrose did you say? And Bandler and Grinder? I tried a google search but got nowhere. It might take a while, so hold off on sending me anything till I manage to locate the research. I'll check the university library.
I happened to ask my son about his memories, and none of them are black and white. In fact, he looked at me like I was insane for suggesting that any memories at all be black and white. What age is this change supposed to take place? I have no black and white memories whatsoever. But then I have no serious trauma to remember either. And memories rarely distress me. I have a memory sorting and storage system that effectively strips memories of their associated affective content and stores them separately. It takes a lot of work to integrate them.
The theory behind imagining a happier outcome sounds like some of the EMDR techniques. I'm no expert in that, but I think I remember something along those lines when I was researching the technique.
I've heard of NLP. Neuro-Linguistic Programming? Does your method work along similar theories? If so, I could probably research that and get a better understanding of your posts that way.
