Is Making a Memory Helping Ptsd?

Radical new approach being developed to treat matic stress disorder aims to destroy those maladaptive emotional memories that underlie the disorder. This approach has only been considered a possibility because of the profound changes in our understanding of memory in recent years. Traditionally, it was thought that making a memory was like writing in a notebook in pen. Once the ink had dried, you couldn't change the information. But more recent research suggests that making a memory is actually more like writing in a word processor. We initially make for memory, and then we save it or store it - but under the right conditions, we can edit that memory.
