BT14 Short Course 15 – Ericksonian Trauma Work and Memory Reconsolidation – Dan Short, PhD

Ericksonian trauma work utilizes the experience of the present to redefine the past, while remaining future oriented. Memory reconsolidation occurs as memories are physically altered and re-encoded with new emotional elements. More than symptom relief, the intentional use of imagination and creative problem solving ensures greater resiliency for future challenges.

Educational Objectives:

1. State three psychological mechanisms by which memory reconsolidation occurs.
2. List three core tasks that facilitate trauma work.
3. State the key difference between therapeutic recall of memories versus potentially harmful recall work.
