The brain is equipped with a core process of profound unlearning identified in memory reconsolidation research by neuroscientists. Traumatic experiences create memory of not only the raw sensory and emotional experience of the ordeal-event itself (episodic memory), but also memory of what was learned about the world and one’s vulnerability in it (semantic memory, consisting of schemas or mental models).

The most effective trauma therapy produces transformational change in traumatic memory content, ending symptom production completely. From extensive neuroscience research, we now have an understanding of the brain’s innate mechanism, known as memory reconsolidation (MR), for transforming memory contents.
