Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories (RTM)
RTM is a therapy that starts by questioning the client to the point that they show a physical response such as changes in breathing, body language, or vocal pitch. Once the reaction has been reached, the questioning ends and the work to clear the trauma. We will walk you through 3 levels of dissociation and image exercise that will cause the traumatic memories to reconsolidated. Once the client can talk about the trauma with no discomfort, the therapy is presumed to be a success
RTM is notable because:
- It causes little discomfort to the client
- It can be administered in any normal quiet room by a Masters level counselor after a 4-day intensive and 3-month certification training
- It does not involve drugs or costly equipment
- It is a relatively quick therapy
- Anecdotal evidence indicates long-term efficacy
In clinical trials RTM removed the nightmare and flashback symptoms of PTS in less than half the time of current therapies, often in less than two or three sessions.
RTM administered shortly after veterans return home can remove the symptoms and stop the PTS Syndrome from developing
