Research from Cambridge University casts doubts on Freudian trauma hunts

"The study out of Cambridge University UK, published in Science Advances, involved 120 participants from 16 countries who listed their fears and worries, as well as their hopes and dreams. They then underwent online training to suppress either negative or neutral thoughts for three days.

The researchers found that those who suppressed negative thoughts recalled them less often and less vividly after the training. They also reported improved mental health and reduced depression symptoms up to three months later, especially if they had worse mental health at the start of the study."
