Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories (RTM) is a new neurological intervention treatment tool for PTS/PTSD that therapists will want to have in their toolkit. It enables practitioners to completely clear traumatic feelings (fear, terror, helplessness) associated with traumatic events. The RTM training is a 3 Day, in-person seminar, that teaches and supports clinicians to use this novel neurological intervention. RTM has been developed and rigorously researched in the past 10 years, see RTM Research by clicking HERE.  RTM is novel in that it keeps clients relatively comfortable, and completely remits PTSD in over 90% of cases in just three to four sessions per memory.

Upon completion of the training, attendees will be able to use the RTM protocol proficiently, getting remission of PTSD diagnosis in better than 90% of their cases. Clinicians who have taken the course consistently report that having this PTS/PTSD intervention in their therapist toolkit has been a big boost to their practices and their ability to address PTSD, PTS, anxiety, phobias, and trauma. To learn more, read the article published in the Washington Post by clicking HERE.

Practitioners from all over the globe, including many in the United States are now trained in RTM. The quality of this training class has been evaluated by trainees at 9.5 or above out of 10 for both the training course delivery and the RTM Protocol efficacy. The subsequent certification process is simple, free, and supported by RTM coaches.
