They had been for the past 7 years very sharp and clear, brightwhite/blue lighting, very close and present, and all of a sudden they had wooshed backwards, further away, down and to the right, and they were GOLDEN - lol!

It is one thing talking about this submodality change thing, to learn about it or to teach it, but to be there when it happens naturally and turns trauma memories into nostalgia memories with a golden glow is certainly something else :-)

It is the funniest thing, I keep looking at those memories and smiling fondly, and even as I'm doing it I'm just amazed how all the feelings and thoughts and EVERYTHING is so different.

Time did not cure this, the memories of the original events didn't change one iota during those 7 years, but what did cure it was an event that put the time to rights. I was hoping it would but had no idea it would work so profoundly, and so noticeably. So there we have it - you know you're done with something when the submodalities turn SEPIA, like an old master's painting that has yellowed with age. Fabulous!
