That does sound like an interesting experiment Time. The thought of 'homework' tires me a little, but I'm game.

Ah interesting. Good thought. And interesting that as soon as I read 'we can change how we view our past' my automatic thoughts popped out 'but I don't want to change how I view my past'.
Which obviously isn't going to help me achieve anything. But interesting to see how resistant I am to the thought of it. Must be a self-protection mechanism or something. ie If I hold onto all those bad memories tight enough ...then when someone else tries the same thing I'll expect it so it won't hurt so much; or, ... then I'll be able to defend myself; or, the worst - if I forget about all the hurts it lets the ones who caused them off the hook.
So, I know that those types of strategies don't work and only end up hurting me in the end. So yah okay. I'll bite. I'll try your experiment. PS where did you find that? Sounds like something from Scientific American Mind?
I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
