Summary: The memory is an evolutive survival characteristic of the human, but also, it sometimes is a curse. People sometimes have traumatic events which keep saveare saved in their memory, producing stress, getting anxiousanxiety and getting illness, decreasing the life quality of the person. There existexists two major kinds of memory: declarative and non-declarative. The first one is all the events savesaved in our mind that should have been translatingtranslated to words, the. The second one, is instead, all memorythe memories that we can not translate to words an that keepstay in our subcontinentsubconscious, like emotions or skills. Ideally it could be that we have the two kinds of memory balanced, but sometimes when a trauma occurs, it tends to get unbalanced. The capability of storing memory in the case of the declarative memory decreasedecreases in a stressful situation, but the capability of the non-declarative increases producingso that we storagestore traumatic events in the emotion layer of the brain. What thatthe psychologist recommendrecommended was not to be exposure under extremalexposed to extreme, stressful events, but it can’t always be avoided. EarlieEarly studies stablishedestablished that memory never can be edited or removed, but current studies conclude the opposite. We can edit or remove information ofin our non-declarative memory in certain conditions, and it can make the memory unstable. We can get this useresult by using a drug overfor the memory: Propranolol.
Opinion: This therapy is seemedseems to be too experimental, and the use of a lot of chemistries to thefor these traumatic events storagestored in the memory, and for these reasons it could be dangerous to use it. I think that this new treatment only should be used in extremalsextreme cases.
