Memory Reconsolidation: Translating Neuroscience Into Art
Memory Reconsolidation is a phenomenon, not a technique.
When I learned that, my world opened up.
I used to be frustrated at the inconsistency and unpredictability of my work. I wondered if I was any good as a therapist.
Or worse, I became frustrated with my clients because they didn’t improve.
But then I learned that memory reconsolidation — a fast way to unlock old learnings — didn’t happen because of some technique I was using...
Memory reconsolidation happened because on occasion, I managed to summon the key combination of factors that unlocks the human implicit memory system.
It turns out that our brains come pre-built with a way to create a neural 'short-circuit,' that lets your clients permanently rewire the implicit memories that keep them stuck.
You just need three ingredients, and some practice.
Now that I know how Memory Reconsolidation works, transformations are faster. Going deep with a client happens more often.
And complex cases...are much less daunting.
Inside this course, you will learn everything you need to give your clients the best chance for successful memory reconsolidations over and over.

Course Agenda
Pre-recorded Module 1: Memory Reconsolidation Basics – 1 Hour Total – 1 CE
In this module, you will learn about memory. You will learn about explicit and implicit memory systems and take a look at how memory is created, re-experienced and changes. You will discover that there are core elements that are necessary for reconsolidation to be completed and that once understood these can be harnessed to support therapeutic reconsolidation experiences.
Part 1: Memory and Perception
- how the mind perceives through the lens of history
- how memory is recalled
- the explicit and implicit memory systems
- the psychological floor
Part 2: Memory Consolidation and Reconsolidation
- memory consolidation
- memory reconsolidation
- the importance of updating
- the astronauts
- why it doesn’t happen all the time
- the three elements of reconsolidation
- Therapies are already doing this, some know it, some don't
Part 3: The sticky Symptom and the emotional Knowing
- Symptom vs knowing
- Map of how the system came to be
- map of how it shows up in the office
- Coherent reasons
Part 4: Brains are complex
- it can be straightforward but…
- the importance of subjectivity
- when emotional knowings will not unlock
- not embodied
- mismatch and original knowing not embodied simultaneously
- not enough mismatch
- too much mismatch
- focus of sticky symptom instead of the knowing
- the brain was too activated and so mismatch detectors where down-regulated
Part 5: Memory Reconsolidation in Therapy
- Intro to tape
- demo tape of memory reconsolidation
- wrap up and intro to module 2
Educational Goals for Module 1:
The clinician will be able to define two types of memory, define memory reconsolidation and identify needed components to be able to apply this to future therapy work as well as identify which clinical skills they already have that support the needed elements to support therapeutic reconsolidation.
Learning objectives
- Name two different types of memory
- Describe how the implicit memory system influences everyday processing
- Name the three necessary elements for reconsolidation to occur
- Define symptoms in relation to the emotional knowings within the implicit memory systems.
- Name the mismatch detectors that exist in the brain

Educational Goals for Module 2:
The clinician will be able to identify the brain state that supports the reconsolidation experience. The clinician will identify and make plans to address countertransference issues that will prevent them from supporting the client in staying the the needed brain state. The clinician will learn skills and techniques to assist in adding emotional regulation and embodied activation that is required for the reconsolidation to occur.
Learning objectives
- Describe how the mismatch detectors are involved in the juxtaposition process
- Identify the regulation tools that increase compassion, coherence and decrease aloneness

Pre-recorded Module 3: Finding the Emotional Knowing – 2.5 Hours – 2.5 CEs
In this module, you will learn about the difference between the symptom and the emotional knowing. This difference is essential and the misunderstanding of this difference is one of the common reasons that clinicians feel unable to assist their clients with reconsolidation experiences. The other common issue that will be addressed in this module is how to support the network holding the emotional knowing in an embodied enough way that it can become open to learning new information. You will learn how precise language will help your clients reconsolidate costly learnings with more ease and permanence. You will leave with interventions to deepen embodied experiences.
Part 1: Emotional Knowing or Sticky Symptom
- separating the sticky symptom from the emotional knowing
- bringing the knowing into contact with the witnessing mind
- finding the language to see the shape of the knowing
- complex layered symptoms

- limbic and visceral tracking
- slowing down enough to hear the image/history/language
- demo tape of tracking viscera to find knowing
Part 4: Tracking the Joints
- basal ganglia and joint tracking
- slowing down enough to hear the image/history/language
- demo tape of joint tracking to find knowing
Part 5: Helping the Knowing Become Embodied
- enough juice through the network that the prediction is embodied and active
- if memory arises follow that
- bringing the knowing into the body
- tracking longer, letting activation get bigger
- demo tape of helping the knowing become alive in the body
Educational Goals for module three:
The clinician will be able to separate the symptom for subconscious emotional knowing in the implicit memory system that are locking it in place. The clinician will learn several new techniques to help clients discover and make explicit emotional knowings that underly their symptoms.
Learning objectives
- Identify emotional knowing as differentiated from the clients symptom
- Describe coherence of symptoms
- Name skills to track sensations in the viscera
- Name skills that track emotional knowing in the basal ganglia
- You will gain many tools to use to help your clients discover the subconscious knowings that are driving costly symptoms
Pre-recorded Zoom Session 3: Finding the Emotional Knowing - 1.5 hours (NO CEs)
SESSION 3 AGENDA: FINDING THE EMOTIONAL KNOWING

Pre-recorded Module 4: The Mismatch, the Support and the Double Check – 1.5 Hours – 1.5 CEs
In this module, you will focus on the moment of mismatch and learn how to recognize a successful opening in previously locked networks. You will learn to spot spontaneous reconsolidations and juxtapositions and learn how to support them to completion. You will also learn how to create spaces in which clients will find their own mismatches that are already present within themselves and learn what to do when a needed mismatch is not present. You will also learn how to double check your reconsolidation work.
Part 1: Finding the Mismatch, it is Already There
- mismatch=prediction error=you are looking for surprise
- repeat the knowing and wait for mismatch to be discovered

- demo tape of back and forth
Part 4: Double Checking the Reconsolidation
- double check- try to stimulate and ask about symptom
- if some relief but not all, you may be with a complex trauma or hard to move symptom presentation
- go back to original knowing and see if it was actually a symptom
- go back the the mismatch was it too far or too close
Educational Goals for module four:
The clinician will be able to identify mismatches that occur spontaneously as well as support the client when the mismatch needed is not easily discovered. The clinician will identify skills they already have to support the mismatch. The clinician will be able to identify the moment of successful prediction error and support the reconsolidation both in and immediately after a session.
