Forgetting About a Recent Girlfriend
My friend, who is a GREAT hypnotic subject, is going through some troubles in life so it seems. In the last week, he broke up with his girlfriend of four years. I could sympathize, the exact same thing happened to me but in July. The thing is, he asked me to make him forget about his ex. I don't know exactly what will happen if it worked, plus it doesn't sound very healthy, to just forget about someone who was important in your life for the past four years. I just tell him that it's very unhealthy and there are a lot of drawbacks and barely any benefits. He still insists. Can anyone give me a good reason, or better, good reasons why it is a bad idea for one to hypnotize someone else into forgetting about an ex girlfriend. Thanks!

Hi Chris,
There was a movie about this a few years back called "The Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind", a little indie movie with an all-star cast. Some scientist invents a machine that removes selected memories from people. Jim Carrey has them remove the memory of a girlfriend. Turns out, though, when you remove the person's memory, people are prone to making exactly the same mistakes! (It's a pretty good flick, really.)
Not being a counselor, I can' t offer any professional advice. From a layman's point of view, it seems like this is an opportunity for personal growth not for administration of anaesthesia.

Hi Smiler,
If you enjoy meditation, you already have the answer.
Get him to laugh at the time he had with her. (Tranced-out obviously).
When he does this, he's cured.
We always want to keep good/funny memories!
I use this approach a lot with my clients.
Have a look at my personal page to see what this can do.
There's a vid of one of my clients there.
You'll find him a lot happier NOW!
Love and respect Neil.

The tecnique I use is not to forget or erase the memory, but to do this: Make the past unimportant. It can't be changed. We can't erase him/her from your memory, it's part of your history.
I ask the client this question which is sometimes hard to swallow: Why do you want to be with someone who doesn't want to be with you?
Build up the person's confidence.
Good luck,
Tommy Vee

First, I agree it's not wise to forget about a girlfriend especially if they have been together for a long period...maybe forget the pain they caused would be better or lighten the feelings of the event.
