PTSD Full Training by Steve Andreas
Description
Video 1:
Demonstration
Demonstration of the “cinema” method for distancing from events in traumatic memory.
After a quick introduction to the training and the key difference between remembering
memory, whether inside it or as an outside observer, I invite Shelley to the front of the room
to work with me using the “cinema” method to distance myself from events in the traumatic
memories. This method is also called NLP phobia treatment, or traumatic memory recovery.
Shelley is a local resident who has been in 8 car accidents in which she was in reverse.
In a short phone call, I learned that as a result, she has frequent flashbacks,
as well as chronic headache. When I want to observe her non-verbal behavior during
flashback time, I ask her: “if you had a flashback now, what would I see? Think of one of the worst. ”
While this is an accurate description of what I want, the way it was phrased asked by Shelley
imagine how she looked from my point of view, and not just think about flashback to
I could watch her reaction.
Realizing my mistake, I moved on to simply ask her to remember the memory. – What if it were so
to have flashback right now? There is heavy traffic, ice and snow “- so that I could see her
reaction. Although Shelley confirmed that she was terrified that her life flashed before her eyes,
and that she would rate her feelings as 10 out of a possible 10, her visible reactions to re-experiencing
accidents were relatively subtle.
This technique is also being demonstrated with the Iraqi Veterinarian in the Releasing PTSD: The Client Sessions program.
3-month follow-up:
– I have not had any memories of car accidents that I could remember from the time you worked with me.
Hooray!! If I deliberately think about one of the accidents, it simply does not have the impact it had before. ”
Video 2 – The Phobic Core of PTSD: Discussion
This Q&A segment directly follows
for a demonstration of the process used with the phobic core of PTSD,
and focuses on the cinema process known as the RTM or V / K dissociation method.
Second phase of the protocol, creation of alternative memories,
discussed in the third segment that follows.
Video 3 – Creating Alternate Memories
This segment begins by repeating the demonstration of this process,
which is also included in the complete demo of the process used with
phobic core of PTSD. If you want to skip this demo, fast forward
about 6 ½ minutes to get to the discussion segment.
This process creates an alternative to traumatic memory in which the result is
is improved by the fact that the client does something different, which is a real opportunity
in this situation, relaxes, takes some kind of protective action, says something else,
anticipation of the possibility, a different attitude or other behavioral reaction to
traumatic event under the control of the client. Absolutely necessary
not alter external events or any physical injury that results from those events
because it is magical thinking that will conflict with reality.
If a truck hits your vehicle and you suffer a bone fracture or other injury,
it is extremely important not to try to change them in your new alternate memory.
However, it’s okay if your change in behavior leads to a change in other people’s behavior.
others in such a way as to improve the result. This process can also be helpful in others
contexts to program a more rewarding response to a situation that may recur in the future.
3-month follow-up:
– I have not had any memories of car accidents that I could remember since you
worked with me. Hooray!! If I deliberately think about one of the accidents, it just isn’t
has the influence it had before. ”
Video 4 – Pain Control
I spoke to Shelley on the phone about being a demo object
for PTSD a few days before the workshop to make sure her experience
was suitable for this process. At the time, she mentioned that she had
had a frontal headache as a result of closed craniocerebral injuries in two
of her 8 car accidents, which I assume is the same or similar to
mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). Her head
the pain was always present, so it definitely qualifies as chronic.
In this segment, recorded about an hour after using the PTSD protocol
We are working to change her pain in a variety of ways.
3-month follow-up:
“I had a headache that day, and the pain subsided a little.
I don’t have a headache every day (which is awesome and I am very grateful)
but I take 3 tylenol extra strength pain relievers daily for the rest
time if I have a headache – which usually happens the second I get up. ”
I did not explain to Sherry that although the cinema and the alternative
memory reps are usually effective interventions once performed
in one session, pain control methods often have to be practiced repeatedly
when necessary to make them more automatic.
Since now she does not have a headache every day, this indicates that
with some practice it might be possible to reduce them even more and maybe
even eliminate. She will practice these methods, and I
I will contact her later.
Video 5 – Integrating Eye Movement
A useful alternative method for dealing with PTSD is to use
eye movements for spontaneous changes in memory. Most widely known
and the investigated variant of this process is desensitization
and eye movement processing (EMDR) developed by Francine Shapiro. In this session
I demonstrate and discuss a slightly different but closely related
with it Method-Integrative Eye Movement Therapy (EMIT) developed by Connirae
and Steve Andreas.
I tried to do a demonstration with one of the group members soon
this led to a very strong sense of disgust for any eye movements in
the left half of her visual field. (In about 20 years of using this
the process at trainings and with clients this happened for the first time
.) After several attempts to continue, and knowing that it is
seemingly related to unresolved grief over the death of a special friend
many years ago, I decided to stop demonstrating. I explained
group that I do not want to force her, and would like to know more before
than to continue.
In the following days, I spoke to her several times and proposed to her.
some suggestions for things she might try on her own to investigate this
further. On the fourth day of training, she described what
discovered, giving us at least some idea that
going on. This section is included here where it is directly related
to discuss my decision to stop the process. Example
for how the emission session usually proceeds, see excerpts from my
1993 demonstration with a Vietnam veteran.
Andrew T. Austin developed a simplified version of EMIT, Integral
Eye movement therapy (IEMT) that can be easily integrated with others
therapeutic approach. I have not demonstrated this method; Austin clearly demonstrates
this method in a YouTube video.
Video 6 – Eye Movement Integration:
further discussion
Further discussion after exercise
accompanied by Michelle’s report on her ongoing research
experience recorded on the last day of training.
3-month follow-up:
No change.
Video 7 – Destroyer Solution: Demonstration
The morning of the second day begins with almost 18 minutes of varied
questions from the previous day of training. The demonstration will start at approximately 17:30.
In this process, we create life experiences that happen
before the traumatic period or event, to prepare them for the fact that
happens later, which makes their job easier. This process is especially useful when
abuse or other difficulties that have occurred repeatedly over a period of time (as opposed to a single event).
This new life experience has four important criteria:
It happens at a specific time and place before the traumatic event or
period.
The content is selected by the client and can be positive or negative when
it did happen, but is positive in its results when remembered.
It has many, many details to make it as similar as possible to
other memorable experiences in the client’s life.
When memory is complete, it is presented in the same submodalities
as a positive imprint experience in the client’s life.
When this memory is complete, the client is asked to take it with him.
as they quickly travel through time to the present, allowing memory
change all relevant subsequent events, and then see yourself traveling into the future with that memory as part of them.
3-month follow-up:
“The anxiety I had about financial problems usually kept me awake at night;
sometimes in the middle of the night my heart began to pound.
I have not experienced even the slightest anxiety since my treatment.
spread to other areas; I still have everyday mild problems, but they are no longer
hold me, and I do not experience the physical component of anxiety.
My husband and daughter both noticed a big difference. I really feel like a different (and happier) person;
so many things that I used to crochet just disappeared. ”
Video 8 – Destroyer Decision:
Discussion
After this demo, we will detail
discuss the many different elements of this process
and how they all contribute to maximizing its effectiveness.
Video 9 – Personal Boundaries
We all have an inner mental personality boundary that protects us from
unwanted intrusions from others. Our boundaries are explored and created
unconsciously, and only a few of us have researched them to find out how well they work.
function. Experimenting with alternatives in the contexts in which we
need protection, we can detect improvements, and these improvements
will lead to spontaneous changes in our experience in the real world.
For example, someone who has spent a lot of time in a very dangerous situation
, such as war, usually develops a border that leads to lightning fast
responding to any threat, which is quite appropriate in this context.
When they return to civilian life, this border is no longer
is functional and can lead to frequent episodes of rage and violence
it is “all out of proportion” to triggers.
The handout also explores how to define and change any internal boundaries.
inside the body. We didn’t have time to demonstrate this at the training,
but the instructions are clear and a more detailed discussion can be found in the book.
Transforming Yourself, Chapter 13. (This method is also demonstrated with
Iraqi Veterinarian in Releasing PTSD: The Client Sessions.)
Follow up:
Shortly after the demonstration, Ronit announced confirmation of a change in her
reactions to someone with whom she is having difficulty. Three months later, she reported :,
“The process of boundaries really helped, now it’s an inner anchor that I carry with me.”
Video 10 – Resolution of Grief
Don participated in a protest march against the Ku Klux Klan in Greensboro
North Carolina in 1979, when the clan appeared and began to shoot
protesters. Don was shot and several of his friends were killed.
Before that, he used this whole incident at the cinema
but couldn’t deal with the grief over the loss of friends,
so I took him through the grief resolution process.
Even though it was successful, Don still pursued the image
one of his friends, Sandy, with a hole in his forehead, lying dead in
a pool of blood. So we used the cinema process again on this
image. This example shows how someone’s experience can be a mixture
different aspects, and the importance of separating them to
each of them could be resolved through an appropriate process.
(Grief resolution method also demonstrated with Iraqi veterinarian
(see Releasing PTSD: The Client Sessions.)
3-month follow-up:
– Now when I think of Sandy, I see her life-size, animated,
cooking dinner in the kitchen and talking to me and my wife. there is
there is no sadness in this picture, only warm and pleasant memories.
– Before I started working with Steve, I solved this incident by fencing off
wall so as not to think about him. Now I can
remember this and talk about it without feeling terrible sadness, not
only around Sandy, but also around the other four who were killed that day (in fact,
I was closer with some of them than I was with Sandy.) Steve asked me to do this
the photo I saw, make it dull and black and white, move it away
and “stick it there with Velcro.” She stayed there; I can still see her if
I want to, but if I do it, it doesn’t bother me. ”
Video 11 – Alarm Resolution:
Whirling Feelings
This method, originally discovered by Richard Bandler,
very useful for anxiety or any other strong feeling,
making it useful as part of a broad spectrum achievement
the results of the change. This is one of the simplest and most reliable processes.
(This technique has also been demonstrated with anger and rage with the Iraqi veterinarian in
Releasing PTSD: The Client Sessions.)
Jane’s 3-month follow-up:
“The changes we made to relieve anxiety are still in
place and work are good. If this feeling really does arise
I continue to see the sparkling blue spiral and immediately calm down. ”
After demo with Jane, I used the same method
with an army veteran who hasn’t slept well for
the previous 22 years; he was awake for 3 or 4 days and
finally was so emaciated that he fell into intermittent sleep,
and sometimes woke up in a sweat, representing someone in
feet of your bed. Sometimes he stayed awake longer and
received Ambien. Although he fell into a deep sleep, his
his wife said he would scream and scream all night.
Since he did not want to appear on video, we recorded him
session only on audio and recorded its report the next day,
in which he said that he used this method twice and slept well,
getting up to go to the bathroom once at 3:20 and then falling asleep again for the rest of the night.
3-month follow-up with a veterinarian:
Normal deep sleep continued until about two weeks after training.
when he faced two stressful situations: his mother was
hospitalized with heart problems, and her son-in-law was diagnosed with
a brain tumor. He reports that “my brain travels a hundred miles an hour.”
hour; it’s all scattered, all kinds of problems come together
and it is difficult to have deep sleep. I use medication and self-medication when I’m really tired. ”
This is what I call “overwhelming” and is typical of many people who experience
difficulty sleeping. I have a blog post on the topic of “overcoming depression” that
suggests some methods for this. Combined with the method of slowing down the pace for anxiety,
I think this will probably take care of this. I will follow
him to figure out what we can do so he can sleep well again.
Video 12 – transforming a restless inner voice
Internal critical voices are
triggers for all kinds of problems,
from low self-esteem to depression and addiction,
and are also a major feature of schizophrenia. Most
people try not to listen to voices or try
shut up the “talkative monkey mind”, but this
seldom useful and seldom lasts long.
On the contrary, if you listen carefully to the voice and
learn more about him, you can make friends with him and
turn him into a supportive ally. Process
demonstrated here is a comprehensive way to achieve
this goal. (This technique has also been demonstrated with an Iraqi veterinarian
in the Releasing PTSD program: client sessions.)
3-month follow-up:
“I noticed a big change in what used to be
with an inner critical voice. I feel much more self-accepted
and loving herself. I especially noticed that
my body image has changed and for the first time since I can remember
I have inner peace regarding my body Exactly as it is.
I really feel like a different (and happier) person;
so many things that I used to crochet just disappeared. ”

Video 14 – Clarifying Relationships: Aligning Perceptual Positions
Perceptual alignment is a process
sorting out our experiences and sorting out the relationship.
There are three fundamental points of view that we can
accept in any interaction with someone else. We can be
in the “I” position, looking with our own eyes, we can
take the position of an objective observer, as if considering
yourself and another person from the outside
, or we can take the position of another person with whom we
connected. Each of these positions is valuable in different ways.
In the “I” position we are fully aware of our own needs,
in an observer position we can dispassionately learn how we
look from the side, and in another position we can become
much more aware of what constitutes someone’s experience. If we
we can quickly change positions, we can reap information
that we get from each of them, and have a balanced reaction to
everything that is happening at the moment.
Although each of us may naturally occupy all three different
positions, we can be unbalanced in how much time we use each of them.
If we spend too much time in self-esteem, we can become arrogant.
and insensitive. If we spend too much time in the observer position, we
can lose touch with feelings and become a robot. And if we also spend
spending a lot of time in another position, we can become overly carried away by feelings
and the needs of the other person and lose touch with your own – which sometimes happens.
he was called codependent or related to someone else.
Even worse, we can get a little confused, for example
, including the feelings of others in the position of “I”, becoming judgmental in
observer position or hearing the voice “I” in another position. When our experience
even a little mixed in this way, it becomes very difficult to resolve
conflicts and disagreements or dealing with everyday events.
Aligning perceptual positions is the process of sorting out our experiences
to clarify who is who and to clarify relationships.
3-month follow-up
“After the procedure, I find that I’m more likely to step back and see
my interaction with other people from the perspective of an observer. I’m less likely to
getting involved in my own affairs when interacting with others, and distortion,
as I described in the session, less. Along with no distortion
or relative absence, I am more inclined to imagine meeting people face to face.
Although I had little contact with my brother, his image is no longer
bloated, and I’m more likely to remember that this is exactly who he is. thanks
for a great experience. ”

Video 15 – Forgiveness: Resolution of Anger
The process of resolving anger is much the same as
and to resolve grief. When the image of what provokes
anger, moves to the place of experience
forgiveness, the person will have a complete bodily experience
forgiveness. However, since most people have many – and
sometimes very strong – objections to this, the main
the challenge is to satisfy these objections.
Anger is a reaction that protects against recurrence
harm caused. Objections always include the need
some kind of protection if they were to give up their anger.
Objections always represent some variation of consequences
(“If I had forgiven him, he might have hurt me again”) or
meaning (“if I had forgiven her, it would mean that I
wimp, or that I condone what she did. ”)
Sometimes it is very difficult to satisfy these objections,
and sometimes it may not be possible, but it must be done
if someone wants to achieve forgiveness. Detailed article
about the process, including how to satisfy objections, you
you can read this free article on forgiveness.
Video 16 – Resolving Shame: Discussion
I made an appointment with a woman who was ashamed of herself.
childhood sexual abuse as a demonstration subject.
We talked a little on the phone and I gave
understand that we will work before
group and that we will be filmed. but
it soon became apparent that she did not expect
that public observation like this would cause
the same shame we will work with.
(Later someone told me how she
was shocked when she entered the room from the back,
even before you come forward to work with me.)
I worked with her for about 23 minutes before I agreed to this.
her second request to stop, realizing that the public context
makes it impossible to continue. I
before without difficulty demonstrated the shame process in public, but in this case
her feelings were too strong. She didn’t sign
release form, so I cannot include this part of the video.
Alternatively, YouTube has a video with snippets
from a public demo, and in a free article on my site
there is a session transcript with a long-term follow-up.
The video recording of this transcript is also available.
After that I discussed the incident with the group.
Video 17 – Resolving Guilt
Feelings of guilt arise from violating your own values in a way that harms someone else. (In contrast, regret is when you violate your own values in a way that hurts you.)
When you make a mistake, it’s important to notice it so that you can take corrective action to avoid harming others in the future. However, many people get stuck with bad feelings and dwell on the past instead of learning from it so they can do better next time.
Guilt resolution can also be described as self-forgiveness. Understanding that, at any given time, each person always makes the best choice available to him (no matter how bad the choice turns out to be) can build a foundation of balance and commitment to take corrective action in the future.
During this session, reference was made to the Brooklyn Project, a detailed program developed by Rick Gray for dealing with drug and alcohol addiction. To get a free copy of this program, email us at [email protected] yes.
Video 18 – Balancing Regret
Whenever you choose between alternatives, there is
there is no opportunity to regret the choice made, therefore
living without regret is impossible. And no matter how much
the choice will be satisfactory, you can always imagine
how other choices could be even more wonderful.
Some people torment themselves with regret, while others
are usually satisfied with the results of their choice.
Regret can be about something you did or about
something you haven’t done. Regret for what you have done
is usually very specific because the consequences are known.
However, regret for not doing it is likely to be
less specific because the consequences are much more uncertain and speculative.
Whenever you choose one alternative, you must refuse the other.
so every regret is really about what you did and what you didn’t.
Even when we focus on one, the other is always in the shadow of our attention.
Caring for the consequences of what you have done and what you haven’t done brings balance.
3-month follow-up:
“The decision making process was a good process, but I had other problems
I had to decide before I could follow through. Thanks for all,
I really enjoyed the workshop. ”
