Regression: therapy uses this notion as the basis for inviting people to re-experience painful scenes from the past and then to make new decisions whilst still in the scene
-NLP belief- our brains cannot tell the difference between memory and imagination
-to ask them to recall a happy scene from childhood and to imagine that they are there as an observer. They can then describe what the observer notices. This would leave the happy memory intact - and would probably be an even better test of their language development.
The therapy technique arising from this is the opposite if someone wants to change a painful memory, a simple way to do so would be to imagine they are back in the scene but are speaking in a language they have learned since. It would be even more powerful if they also had the other parties in the scene speaking in a different language.
