Eventually, she went home, her memory a complete blank. Determined
to understand what had happened to her, she began reading
medical textbooks and studying in the specialized area of amnesia
and memory loss. She met and spoke with specialists in this field.
Eventually she wrote a paper on her condition. Not long afterward,
she was invited to address a medical convention to deliver her paper,
answer questions about her amnesia, and share her experiences
and ideas on neurological functioning.

During this period, something amazing happened. She became a
new person completely. All the attention in the hospital and afterward
made her feel valuable, important, and truly loved by her family.
The attention and acclaim she received from members of the medical
profession built her self-esteem and self-respect even higher.
She became a genuinely positive, confident, outgoing woman,
highly articulate, well informed, and very much in demand as a
speaker and authority in the medical profession.

All memory of her negative childhood had been wiped out. Her
feelings of inferiority were wiped out as well. She became a new
person. She changed her thinking and changed her life.
