No matter the information (emotional, factual, memories, etc.), the brain records it based on one of your five senses. This makes logical sense because the mind has no direct contact with the outside world. All the information the brain receives is by sight, touch, smell, sound, or taste. By changing where and how this information is filed, we can quickly and easily remove the emotions from traumatic events. We can change destructive patterns and habits, and even wipe out a lifetime of anger, sadness, fear, hurt, and guilt all within hours. All this can happen by changing how the mind perceives past events.
