Memories are never erased with any tools. Hypnosis can be used to gain greater awareness into your subconscious or unconscious. If a certain memory is hurting you, a counsellor or psychologist can work.with you to understand your beliefs, why something hurts you and rewiring your beliefs and desensitize you towards the incident that caused you pain. So you learn to look at things differently and can continue to live a healthy and happy life. Feel free to check www.thehappyspace.in to learn about my work.

Thanks for reaching out for help. Memories haunting a person or leaving a negative emotion behind can be treated by hypnotherapy. The actual underlying reason behind the hurtful memory would be more relevant for the hypnotherapist as it differs from one person to the other. Hypnosis methodology can successfully be applied to handle that memory which means you will be able to deal with its effect and undo the damage it causes you. Whether this means forgetting /wiping it is a very relative thing.

Next Steps

Take an appointment with a hypnotherapist or a counselling psychologist who is trained in hypnotherapy , like me, to have a discussion on understanding it better.

Health Tips

Wiping off a memory because it troubles you, in hypnosis terms, simply means you change what the memory meant/means to you. It does not mean you undo that part or time of your life. A hypnosis specialist can give you more insight on this during a session.
