I vaguely remember a study of those with traumatic memories who naturally tried to forget. It showed that such constant attempts caused noticeable damage to the brain sections most important to memory, both forming and recalling long term.
But bringing attention to experiences good, bad, or indifferent, certainly is the worst way to induce the forgetting of them.
