The correct answer is memory reconsolidation.

Memory reconsolidation refers to a process whereby memories can be accessed, recoded and modified to change the information in them. It is used as a form of therapy where clients who have undergone traumatic events can have their memories of the events modified so that they are less distressful and painful when recalled.
