Rapid Eye Technology is used for all types of stress-related conditions. The wonderful thing about RET is that it's a short term therapy program, and it's safe. In my experience, the answer is no. We all have excellent survival systems. We developed these systems in order to protect ourselves, and our psyche will only allow us to release old trapped trauma as fast as we are able to assimilate the changes.
Most people release trauma in layers.
Rapid Eye is a wholistic model. First, we do a quick review of the person's medical, psychological, and family history. Then we introduce a neurological integration exercise that begins brain access to stored preverbal memory. In all of this, we create a very nurturing and safe place for processing. The miracle of Rapid Eye Technology is that a person does not have to relive every traumatic event in order to release the attendant stress.
