Trauma Memories are painful, intrusive, and disrupt your life, but there are gentle memory management skill that can remove the emotional charge, triggers, and intensity of your flashback or memory. The techniques do not allow your brain to revisit the trauma, but you are able to restructure the memory and obtain closure. The memory is then placed into the long-term memory bank without the emotional charge. If the memory is pulled up into consciousness, it has no emotional effect.

Addiction is a DISEASE where one is never enough & two are too many. Not about will-power. Family history, mental health, and your environment can be risk factors for addiction susceptibility. Peer pressure, sadness, wanting to chill, & chronic stress, can lead to tolerance, where you no longer have control & find out you've had "brown outs" or "black outs". If you are suffering from addiction it is most likely adversely effecting your family, work, and health. Help is here...
