We've had a rich crop of innovative and presumably more powerful therapies for decades, yet outcome research shows no overall gain in efficacy for the past 70 years. Now a revolutionary finding in neuroscience is showing what it takes to actually unwire-- not just counteract or avoid--longstanding emotional reactions such as anxiety, rage, depression, and avoidance behaviors: a synapse-unlocking process called Reconsolidation. This workshop will demonstrate an experiential process of therapy, codeveloped by the speaker, that follows the newly recognized steps required for Reconsolidation--the permanent release from lifelong, core emotional themes and responses. You'll learn how to find the subcortical "emotional truth" underlying seemingly irrational symptoms, how to integrate the neocortex's verbal view of reality with the subcortex's emotional view, and how to prompt the built-in unlocking process for profound change.
