Compassionate PTSD Therapy for Painful Trauma Recovery

We don’t want to waste your time or ours when it comes to your treatment protocol. That is the reason why regardless of our training and certification in EMDR Therapy, CBT, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic Therapy, Somatic approaches, Emotional Freedom Technique, Rewind Technique and Internal Family Systems we have decided to develop this reconsolidation therapy protocol. 

Over the past century, more than 60 therapeutic approaches have been devised for mental health issues, operating under the flawed belief that memories could not be altered. As a result, these therapies aimed to provide tools to cope with, alleviate, manage, and control symptoms rather than addressing their root cause.

Before 2005, the outcomes of these therapies were often temporary and unreliable, with only a 50% success rate and an equal chance of symptoms resurfacing.

That was until the Neuroscientist, Karim Nader, proved in 2000 that the FEAR component could be permanently removed from a memory. After the concept of memory, trauma & neurobiology was updated, PTSD & Trauma therapy has taken a new approach.

Traditionally, PTSD trained psychologists have focused on treating the symptoms of PTSD, such as anxiety, depression, and flashbacks, through therapy and other techniques.

However, a new protocol that aims to remove the cause of PTSD through Memory Reconsolidation may be perceived as a threat to these psychologists. They may feel that their expertise and the techniques they have been using are being questioned or replaced by a new approach. They may also feel concerned that their patients will no longer need their services if the cause of PTSD can be removed through memory reconsolidation.

This change may challenge their professional identity and cause them to question the relevance of their skills and knowledge in treating PTSD.

It is important to note, however, that the new protocol should be seen as complementary to traditional treatments and not as a replacement, as both approaches have their strengths and weaknesses, and a combination of both may lead to the most effective results for patients.

Amazing recent discoveries in Neuroscience, trauma, memory and how PTSD is formed in the brain have provided a novel approach to therapy. Prior to these discoveries most therapy consisted of modalities with limited success and the vast majority had reoccurring symptoms after 6 months.

We are now fortunate enough to be trained in various forms of Memory Reconsolidation by the worlds foremost researchers in PTSD & Trauma therapy. We also have developed the most advanced approach in memory consolidation.

The amygdala, on the other hand, is solely responsible for responding to emotional information provided by the thalamic relay. Upon encountering a fear-inducing stimulus determined by the thalamic relay, the amygdala sends a “signal” to the rest of the brain, which triggers the release of adrenaline and other hormones to stimulate the body to respond.
