by Marie A. Wilson (Author)
With her decades of clinical experience, Dr. Wilson has crafted a clear, stepwise approach for therapists to help their clients safely and effectively address and resolve fear-based memories. Drawing from the results of a variety of research studies, she succinctly extracts some core biological realities regarding how traumatic memories are stored in the brain - and how they may be "updated" in psychotherapy in a durable manner. Then she links those processes with her easy-to-follow four-step model based on her work with systems theory and cognitive behavior therapy. Utilizing numerous case studies, she illustrates how hypnosis significantly helps facilitate the retrieval and reworking of the fear-based memory. The end result provides therapists with a well-crafted, well-articulated approach to addressing a wide variety of fear-based memories. I highly recommend her book to therapists looking to further enhance their clinical skills.
