Millions of people are still unnecessarily living the emotional and physical pain from their bad or traumatic memories on a daily basis, even long after the initial bad experience is long over. 

 

Whilst for others, the memory can remain dormant for years, only to be brought back to the surface years later, especially if it was left untreated.

​

Traumatic bad memories can torment you, causing flashbacks nightmare and panic symptoms, and this can carry on indefinitely. 

​

Normally when you have a negative experience, it will have an initial negative and emotional impact on you for a while, but after a period, you will start to focus on other things and your brain will process the emotion and the memory will be filed as over and in the past tense and the impact will fade.

​

But for some people, especially if the experience is of a horrific nature, they can often struggle to process the memory and the emotional experience.

​

So instead of processing the emotion and filling the memory in the past, they end up living in the emotion of the event or bad experience in the present tense, as if it is still real and still relevant.
