A friend sent me a link, I looked it up and read through the article. I am glad they are adding another tool to the toolbox for coping with PTSD, but this is not new. It is a bit refined from instructions I had over 10 years ago. Sitting with emotions. Visualizing and rewriting a memory works. I’ve done it. I was blessed with a counselor that used a variety of approaches. He also recognized that my early age of abuse meant I didn’t learn the basics of living. He gave me a mix of talking, remembering, processing, and teaching me how to live. I believe this is a great tool however, a counselor would not help their client by having it as their only tool. I am especially concerned when they are looking for quick results. Dissociation works quickly but it is a lousy way to live.
