I do feel with the female lead and understand that she wants to heal her little sister’s trauma so that she won’t have PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) for the rest of her life. Or at least to heal the panic attacks that the girl gets in small dark places…
There are therapies like hypnosis in our world that try to do exactly that. But there have also been successful experiments that showed: if you reward and de-stress people pointedly when they are triggered, the trigger gets weaker and the panic can be gradually reduced.
This can’t be used for all kinds of triggers of course. Well, the same goes for medication. I can’t even count how many different medicaments I’ve already taken for weeks each to get over a generalized anxiety disorder, but … *sigh* Yep, long-time abuse can basically ruin the whole life of a human being.
You tell her, girl!
Memories are what make you who you are.
It’s not the worst idea – especially if only the details can be made fuzzy so it’s less painful to remember – but if you don’t want such a treatment, it’s not necessary.
And being able to choose such a thing is a big step towards showing you can stand on your own two feet and have wants and desires for yourself.
