Pseudomnesia

Pseudo-memonism (Pseudomnesia) is a term used in psychology to describe erroneous memories that never actually occurred. This effect can be caused by various factors such as stress, fatigue, drugs or alcohol, and memory-related diseases.

When a person experiences pseudo-memory, they may remember events or conversations that never actually happened. This can sometimes lead to false accusations against other people or even oneself, and create social problems such as tension in relationships or conflicts at work.

One of the ways that helps fight pseudodomnesia is to use the “Source Check” method, which involves asking others to confirm or refute a particular fact or event. If other people confirm a fact, then it can be considered real. However, if they deny it, it is worth considering that perhaps this is just a pseudo-memory. This can help a person understand where they are exaggerating events and begin to work on their beliefs and emotions related to what actually happened.

Another method of combating is the method of “Confirmation of witnesses to events.” It consists in the fact that a person is asked not only to confirm the facts that he saw or heard, but also to tell about how it all happened. This approach allows a person to better understand their own memories, and the more aware they are, the more likely they are to be more realistic.
