This is a short YouTube transcript of Peter Szabo advising someone (Sam) about revisiting and "flipping" childhood memories. Szabo reassures that working on additional traumatic memories need not permanently undermine previously flipped (positive) memories: you can revisit and strengthen any memory if it later feels less positive. He emphasizes that the practitioner remains in control, can refine memories iteratively, and encourages a confident, proactive attitude toward memory work.

I managed to flip key memories from my childhood, but I feel like I need to work on more memories. If I go back to my childhood to flip traumatic events, wouldn't that affect the memories I successfully flipped since to flip those other memories, I would see my parents being aggressive poor, which contradicts the memories. Not necessarily. I mean, in some way they're connected, but. But as you flip and work on these new ones, it may also just strengthen the other new ones. Right? And at any given time, you don't have to be afraid of these memories, whether they're good or bad. Right? These are your memories. You're in control. So even if, say, one of the new ones gets a little bit worse, I mean, one of the old ones that you flip to be positive and say you visited and maybe it doesn't feel quite right or is not as positive as it used to be, it's okay. You can go back anytime and strengthen it and make it better. Maybe do one more round on it and make sure it's top notch. And it sometimes happens. There's a bunch of memories that I remember I worked on, I thought I was done, and then a little bit later I went back to it and maybe didn't feel quite right. And then I realized like, huh, I missed this detail or I missed that detail. You work on it and you get even more changes, more results. So that's what I would recommend. The attitude of don't worry about it, just go and get it. And if anything comes up, you have 100% choice and power in your hands to be able to deal with it. Especially now, you practice long enough, you are more than competent to be able to go there, be fully in control, and then you dictate how the memories show up. You got this, Sam.
