A member asked:

How do i completely erase a bad memory from my mind, that happened years in the past?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

PTSD: Bad memories cannot be systematically erased. However, you can be desensitized to the responses to those memories, especially if they are associated with trauma. Medications and psychotherapeutic techniques such as emdr can effectively treat pathological responses to memories and flashbacks of trauma.
