Depth oriented brief therapy (DOBT), recently renamed coherence therapy, is a complete methodology for dispelling clinical symptoms at their subcortical, emotional roots in far fewer sessions than conventional in-depth therapies entail.

Psychotherapy Networker Symposium

March 15-18, 2007, Washington, DC

CHANGES THAT HOLD, CHANGES THAT DON'T:

WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE?

Bruce Ecker, LMFT

Sunday, March 18, 2007, 10:30 am to 3:30 pm (Workshop 603)

We’ve had a rich crop of innovative and presumably more powerful therapies for decades, yet outcome research shows no overall gain in efficacy for the past 70 years. Suddenly, a revolutionary finding in neuroscience is showing what it takes to actually unwire, not just counteract or avoid, longstanding emotional reactions such as anxiety, rage, depression, and avoidance behaviors: a synapse-unlocking process called reconsolidation. This workshop shows an experiential therapy, co-developed by the speaker, that follows the newly recognized steps of that process to yield a lasting, bodily release from lifelong, core emotional themes and responses. You’ll learn how to swiftly find the coherent, subcortical “emotional truth” underlying seemingly irrational symptoms, how to integrate the neocortex’s verbal view of reality with the subcortical, emotional view, and how to prompt the built-in unlocking process for profound change.
