Memory Reconsolidation

The science guiding the art of transformational change

Reshaping the Psychotherapy Field

Extensive research in neuroscience laboratories around the world since 2000 has revealed the brain’s built-in process of memory reconsolidation, the only known natural, internal mechanism that allows longstanding behavioral and emotional patterns to be fundamentally unlearned and “erased” at the level of their neural encoding.


The Coherence Psychology Institute has pioneered the psychotherapeutic use of this research breakthrough, extracting from hundreds of neuroscience journal articles the core process that is directly replicable in therapy sessions to produce transformational change—the complete and lasting cessation of major symptoms and their associated, distress-laden emotional themes.


It is largely due to the steady outflow of writings, presentations, and clinical trainings from CPI for two decades that the proponents of nearly every system of psychotherapy now show how their methodology fulfills the memory reconsolidation process. This precious knowledge of a universal, core process of profound change powerfully advances not only the effectiveness of individual therapists, but also the unification of the severely fragmented and parochial psychotherapy field.

“Here you will find experts who have spent decades painstakingly going over the extensive bodyof memory reconsolidation research, creatively experimenting with its principles clinically, anddeveloping a coherent framework for the unification of psychotherapy. …The memoryreconsolidation framework has the rarest of advantages for the unification of psychotherapy, inthat it guides the clinician in a rigorous manner, while simultaneously respecting the multitude ofways in which deep change can be facilitated.”
