What is this? Why does it work? It seems like it's just an arbitrary thing. Could you explain?

The adding elements to the memory and playing it backwards and forwards are basic techniques in NLP you can find more about NLP by searching it there is a lot of information about it. Memories are not static they are subject to change each time you recall them. Basic trauma memory work is just recall the memory, do something with your mind and/or body that will make it feel even just a little better, go back to the memory, go back to something that makes you feel better, rinse and repeat till it feels OK. There is almost an unlimited about of scenarios you can make up with this basic pattern. As long as you don't go too deeply in the bad feels and are able to switch to good feelings then it will help to some degree. If the bad feelings are stronger than the good feelings you are trying to generate then you can re-traumatize yourself. Going into every time detail as mentioned in the original post is a bad idea unless it takes that much detail to generate a bad feeling that is still tolerable. As you do one of the methods you should be able to go into more detail as it will start to feel less scary.
