In your paper, you have shown the idea of self-fulfilling prophecy. Also, it's interesting to know that our brain remembers more of things which cater to its expectations and ignores things which counter its expectations. Inspiring by this phenomenon, I'm wondering that is there a way to get rid of it? When dealing with things like chronic pain which definitely has more feedbacks in the past, is there an effective way to help patients forget this rather bad memory?
Thanks for your interesting and inspiring topic!
