PTSD is a permanent psychological disorder –
Myth Busted
Through his paradigm shifting research, Dr. Alain Brunet (McGill University) demonstrated that traumatic memories, when reactivated, enter a vulnerable state wherein they can be altered or even erased. This groundbreaking approach shows that PTSD, contrary to prior beliefs, is more a temporary memory disorder than an permanent psychological condition.

WHY
We use RECONSOLIDATION THERAPY FOR PTSD?
Reconsolidation therapy is the most powerful, evidence-based new treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is based on the principle of memory reconsolidation, which posits that when a memory is recalled, it becomes vulnerable to change. This is what is referred to as Neuroplasticity. This makes reconsolidation therapy an attractive treatment option for PTSD, as it offers the possibility of rewriting the traumatic memory and reducing and eliminates its negative impact.
