when you do talk therapy, you have to make your experiences into a narrative and explain your motivations to one or more other people in a way that makes sense this is essentially a form of dissociation from your experience and an attempt to install false memories

not false memories, narrated memories. it's an exercise in deciding which lies you are ok with telling yourself. the cost of this is gaining awareness of how most of your memories (particularly childhood memories) are narrated, and therefore not entirely true.

You are describing electroshock therapy. People say it's worth it.

it destroyed Hemmingway utterly, but maybe they've gotten better at administering it. I can't help but make the comparison between ECT and ayahuasca though and I know which one I would choose.

Hemmingway case was quite suspiciously unusual both in terms of intensity of therapy administered, and numerous confounders. Also pretty ancient.
