In their groundbreaking book, "Unlocking the Emotional Brain," authors Ecker, Ticic, and Hulley equip readers with a powerful therapeutic approach using the recently discovered and exclusively known process of memory reconsolidation. This remarkable process holds the key to unlocking emotional memory at the synaptic level, offering a transformative avenue for focused, empathic therapy. The Routledge classic edition of this influential work includes a new preface from the authors, highlighting its profound impact on psychotherapy since its initial publication.

Emotional memory's persistence has long posed a challenge for therapists, with the belief that it forms indelible learning and cannot be easily erased. However, reconsolidation has challenged these notions. It enables new learning to effectively nullify, rather than merely suppress, the deep, intensely problematic emotional learnings that form unconsciously during childhood or in later adversities, leading to the majority of symptoms that individuals seek therapy for. Through the pages of this book, readers will discover precise methods to eliminate unwanted, ingrained emotional responses, without compromising ordinary narrative memory. This process promotes clients' well-being and showcases its versatility across various therapeutic approaches, including AEDP, coherence therapy, EFT, EMDR, and IPNB, with numerous case examples illustrating its practical applications.
