Unlocking the Emotional Brain: Eliminating Symptoms at Their Roots Using Memory Reconsolidation

This book is the only psychotherapy text that: • maps out a core process of profound unlearning, confirmed in neuroscience research, that is shared across all types of psychotherapy that produce transformational change, for a remarkable unification of the panoply of therapy systems • guides each therapist’s use of her or his preferred techniques for more consistently achieving transformational change—the complete, permanent elimination of symptoms and their underlying emotional schemas and mental models • provides two dozen detailed case examples showing that the core process is effective for a vast range of the severe, longstanding problems and symptoms presented by therapy seekers, including complex trauma, depression, panic attacks, shame, insecure attachment, compulsive behaviors, and many others
