Hey. I want to thank you for posting about the studies. They have got me thinking...
I was reading something last night...
And I was talking to Larry earlier about...
Whether by imagining...
(As opposed to talking to yourself)...You can change your reinforcement history.
So...
I'm wondering about two seperate ideas.
1) Telling yourself you experienced nausea after eating a certain kind of food as a kid...
2) Vividly imagining yourself experiencing nausea after eating a certain kind of food as a kid...And I wonder how much odour would facilitate that process..
Anyways... It has got me thinking.
On abuse...
> I first became aware of FMS when families were being torn apart by seemingly well intentioned, but horribly wrong/misguided therapists.
Yes. That does happen. Cases have been documented.
But on the other hand... Some people speak out about abuse and other people don't believe them. Other people put it down to a false memory when it is not.
Of course the situation isn't either
ALL cases of alleged abuse are true
or
ALL cases of alleged abuse are falseSome are true and some are false
But even that is too simplistic
Some are true in these respects and false in these others
And so on.I wondered whether you might have had false allegations against you or someone you know.
I am glad that is not the case.
But yes. It happens to some people.
And I think that just as we should be careful not to deny peoples reports of abuse...
We should be careful not to wholeheartedly embrace peoples reports of abuse either...
The point is...
The person is hurting.
In the present...
