I got given a leaflet today about a new film showing on Dianetics. I'd never heard of it before so I briefly 'googled it' (as you do nowadays). Not sure whether i'm being cynical or just plain naive, but from what I can gather it seems to be talking about past (usually negative) experiences over and over until you don't feel so emotionally connected with the event. It doesn't sound like a modern science at all to me. Is it not common knowledge that talking about things helps people to move on with their lives? Maybe putting a label on it means people feel more free to talk about difficulties they have had? Just wondering whether anyone else has heard of it, and what their opinions are?
