Scientists Erase Painful Memories Without Drugs
A Memory-Erasing Chemical That Can Change Your Behavior

My painful memories are life lessons and changes (for the better) to my persona not that I want to go through them AGAIN.
What's the damn point in learning/living if you don't deal with the emotional pain of your screwups and learn from your mistakes?

I think so. Emotional pain is a symptom not the cause of deeper issues.
I know more than a few folks who can't face their real problems because they want to avoid the pain of actually facing up to their problems/mistakes/who they really are.

in point of fact, denial and booze were not methods for hiding from pain they were methods to hide from the problem by pretending it didn't exist and killing brain cells respectively. there's a huge difference between self medicating with delusions and alcohol and psychotherapeutic techniques like removing a pavlovian response to a special song or place.
pain is necessary because it tells us when something is wrong, physically or emotionally, but once the problem has be properly diagnosed the pain is no longer necessary.
