Psychopaths on changing your past

Authors of Confessions of a Sociopath M.E. Thomas and Victoria talk about changing who you are as a person and what does that mean in terms of changing your past. Topics include the nature of memories (including the tendency to remember things differently when we have changed and go back to "touch those memories," meditation, processing through past trauma, family dynamics and working through the inherited traumas of a family, rule following, gray rage, process vs. outcome orientation, etc. 

They reference the most recent video with Pretty Morbid and the discussion of the Shipibo people, as referenced by the movie Tar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9e1F3QOsUo
