Revolutionising PTSD Treatment: The 6-Session Protocol That Sidesteps Trauma Narration

Introduction

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) significantly impacts numerous individuals worldwide, necessitating effective treatment methods. Traditional therapies often require individuals to revisit and narrate their traumatic experiences. The 6-session PTSD protocol offers an alternative, focusing on subconscious healing without delving into traumatic narratives. This approach, based on the work of John G. Watkins, Ph.D., and exemplifying the concept of 'Brief Therapy,' emphasizes quick and targeted therapeutic interventions.

What is the 6-Session PTSD Protocol?

This groundbreaking approach comprises six structured sessions targeting the subconscious mind, avoiding the narration of traumatic events and offering a more comfortable, less invasive path to recovery. The protocol draws from Dr. Watkins' techniques and insights and exemplifies the focused and time-efficient approach of 'Brief Therapy'.

The PTSD Protocol: Detailed Breakdown

  • Session 1 – Negativity Clearing: Identifies and clears negative thoughts and emotions associated with PTSD.

  • Session 2 – Ego Parts: Addresses and aims to reintegrate various ego part fragmented by trauma, helping to understand and harmonise the self.

  • Session 3 – Forgiveness/Acceptance of Others: Encourages forgiveness and acceptance towards others connected to the trauma.

  • Session 4 – Age Regression/Timeline/Rewind: Controlled revisiting of past experiences to reframe them.
