Treating Trauma Through Memory Reconsolidation

Memory Reconsolidation Tools 1

The Structure of Hope

What is the structure of hope? Part of the structure of hope is knowing that the sadness, shame, stress and pain can be relieved to reveal deeper wisdom. I was taught that wisdom came from pain. Experiences has shown me that pain limits possibility and limits our brain. Going through pain and letting it go creates wisdom. I’ve seen clients so many spontaneous and beautiful realizations all on their own when the memories of their pain go through memory reconsolidation.

Memories are powerful and painful memories often remain very stable over time. They do not fade because of the special way that they are retrieved and then restored. Unconsolidated memories have a great impact on people's lives and are the driving force behind emotional trauma. Unconsolidated memories can have influence on everything from procrastination to depression. In this three day training, participants will learn to take the pain out of unconsolidated memories through a process called memory reconsolidation. Memory reconsolidation is the mechanism by which many therapies like EMDR work. The idea of consolidating memory has been around since Roman times, but new research allows us to achieve memory reconsolidation and change the way memories are stored without drugs or special tools. The Memory Reconsolidation Tools Training will teach the natural conditions where memory reconsolidation can take place consistently and reliably. Because the training will teach how memory reconsolidation happens, participants will be able to adapt the process to their existing therapeutic methods. Sometimes it feels like therapists are trying to make the client fit the therapy instead of the therapy fitting the client. I know I have that way and so have my clients. Using this approach, we can fit the therapy to the client. This training will discuss the underpinnings of eye movement therapies, parts work, and somatic therapies so therapist can easily draw from elements of many therapies to create specific interventions that directly fit the client. This will also allow therapists to integrate these therapies into your practice and understand how these therapy can work together or even be used at the same time. This training will only take 28 people. Come join this fun interactive training!
