ABSTRACT

Memories is usually first surface through flashbacks. Flashbacks are the eruption into consciousness of dissociated trauma material, in an unproductive way. Many ritually abusing and mind control groups deliberately create recorder alter personalities who know everything about the system and the history, and observe it with apparent disinterest, wanting things to be better but never intervening. These recorders, by the way, could well be the traditional “inner self helpers” (ISHes) described in the literature. The only essential memories to process are the ones that make the person unsafe (e.g., programs), or the ones that create symptoms which interfere with everyday life. Some alters, usually known as recyclers or reactivators, are trained to deliberately withhold and hide a small part of each training memory, so that the effect of the training cannot be destroyed. The hidden bit may be some words that were spoken, an emotion, or some physical pain.
