Bubble Theory: A Management Tool for Person Memory

It has become clear from the literature of psychology in general and therapeutic psychology in particular that certain events in anyone's memory must occupy a central position and have a significant impact on that person's thinking and behavior. These events can be divided into positive events, such as achieving specific accomplishments, or negative events that affect the individual, such as disappointments, losses, or significant bereavements. This theory addresses and specializes in those negative events that become a persistent obsession for the person, ultimately reflecting their negative impact on the individual's behavior. Often, therapeutic psychology theories link these negative past events to various psychological disorders, such as depression. Cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques and tools have played a crucial role in helping individuals process their memory content and past events as a starting point for appropriate therapeutic interventions. Here, the role of Bubble Theory emerges as an effective tool operating within the framework of cognitive-behavioral therapy, aiming to resolve the conflict between the individual and their memory and to manage and treat this conflict. General Description of the Theory An individual's life is considered a continuous series of successive bubbles, each representing a central and pivotal stage in the person's life, reflecting an aspect of the individual's evolving identity over a specific time period. Content of the Bubble A bubble represents the individual's identity during a specific time, forming a mixture of the person's cognitive, emotional, and psychological components, as well as all their talents, skills, and achievements. Each bubble contains a processed individual memory. The theory posits that every bubble must contain a processed memory, meaning that all events experienced by the person in the previous period have been studied and effectively managed. This processed memory serves as a reservoir of information, experiences, lessons, and guidelines that prepare the individual for transition to the next bubble. Each processed memory within the bubble represents the outcomes of all central positive and negative events, particularly the negative ones, after rational processing that removes negative emotional burdens, transforming them into a collection of information and lessons that positively impact the individual's balance and development. Various effective and reliable tools are used to rationalize negative events. Individuals differ in the shape and size of their bubbles and the number of bubbles in their series. A higher number and larger size of bubbles indicate a higher level of individual resilience, reflecting the rich content of each bubble, the individual's ability to consistently create leaps in achievements, and the healthy transcendence of past events, transforming those events into processed cognitive material that contributes to personal growth and development. It is important to note that individuals who cannot transcend negative past events through rationalization will be unable to create a complete and robust bubble; instead, their life path will consist of a short series of distorted bubbles. Tools of the Theory The Bubble Theory is open to leveraging all theories of event rationalization alongside any effective tools that can be used to dismantle negative events, rationalize them, and transcend them in an effective and healthy manner, whether they are cognitive-behavioral therapy tools or other methods from different theories. This theory emphasizes that the optimal solution for interacting with and dealing with negative past events is through their rationalization and transcendence, where this transcendence is an effective process that dismantles the event and reconstitutes it into its cognitive components, stripped of its emotional layers.
