    Don't Give Up On Your Life Because You Are Way Bigger And Much More Powerful Than Anything That Life Can Deal You..You can also, attach your fight or flight response to the emotion that you experienced.

    This means. Everytime that you have to face the situation or any of your bad memories triggers. It can trigger your fight, flight, freeze response.Once you know how to break and change these subconscious emotional patterns, responses and associations that are linked to your bad memories.

    You will start to reduce your emotional stress, hurt and suffering.

    If you think back to the times before your bad or negative experience.

    Then you will see that you were happy and at peace with yourself.

    At some point in your life.

    You knew how to have fun.

    And it is OK to think about your happy memories and the times you used to have fun and enjoyment.

    I've tried it almost nothing works

    It's better if you start making good and new memories

    They won't rewrite the old bad one's but at least you will have something to cheer yourself up with when that bad memory train comes again

    Massive brain trauma and/or sustained alcohol abuse works quite well.
