ETT™: The New Frontier in

PsychotherapySevere affective states change within seconds

Cognitive states change within minutes

Severe and chronic physical pain relieved in seconds

Reversal of dissociative states takes place within minutes


When light enters the eyes,photoreceptors convert lightinto neural impulses thattravel in circuits that involve the entire brain and nervous system

New Frontier


By controlling factors likeangle of entry, wavelength

oflight and mental focus,appropriate external lightstimulation can access theneural circuit responsible

foran emotional or physicalsymptom


Specific wavelengths of lightresonate with certain emotional and/or physical states which result in rapid changes of these states

Spectral ResonanceTechnique can be used toaccess implicit memory and somatically held emotions


Emotional Transformation

Therapy

Visual light stimulation functions as a catalyst for emotional processing

Specific angles at which light enters the eyes can rapidly reduce emotional flooding or physical pain



Therapy Multidimensional eye

movement processes can simultaneously diagnose and rapidly resolve severe trauma and physical symptoms



Therapy Through specific rates

of pulsing light, specific brainwave states can be elicited for therapeutic purposes

ETT™ combines visual brain stimulation with specific attachment based interpersonal interventions to acquire rapid, long-term change


Attachment Patterns

Scientific research has found that attachment patterns:

Determine biochemical brain regulation

Govern emotional regulation

Are changeable through interpersonal influence


Attachment Patterns

Therefore attachment oriented psychotherapy can:

Change brain biochemistry

Change emotional regulation patterns

A. If denial issues prevail, pursue these first

B. If the self-esteem issues prevent commitment to pursuit of craving, pursue this



Reduce intensity of the craving drive

If the nature of the source for the craving drive is unknown pursue rapid insight Reduce intensity of the craving drive



If the person is currently craving and wants immediate relief

A. MDEM use for rapid relief

B. Use photo assessment technique to precisely resonate wavelength of light with craving state to extinguish craving immediately



If the origin is known to be a trauma use MDEM for rapid relief of trauma

Activate the craving state and then resonate wavelength of light to the craving to extinguish craving



To pursue long-term relief of the addictive drive and affect regulation in general, correct dysfunctional attachment pattern through the following means:

A. MDEM use for rapid relief

B. Resolve specific attachment event

C. Resolve attachment specific relationships
