What is Holographic Memory Resolution (HMR)?

Holographic Memory Resolution is a new body-mind therapeutic approach that allows expedient access to past traumatic memories and helps to achieve resolution of the painful emotions associated with such events without having to “re-live” such experiences and without affecting historical memory. Traumatic memories and painful experiences in our lives precipitate an “encoding” of the overwhelming feelings, resulting in the storage of “trauma.” This takes place in a single millisecond of time, capturing all of the sensory data, feelings, and perceptions of the overwhelming experience. This encoding process is subconscious and automatic. Unresolved trauma can have a negative long-term impact at the physiological, cognitive, and emotional levels. From an HMR perspective the longer stress and trauma are sealed and stored, the more likely it is for related concerns to develop, both on the physical and the emotional level.

The goal of HMR is to remove the memory storing—encoding—that has taken place with the formation of the traumatic memory. HMR functions by demonstrating our capacity to complete the “negative” or incomplete emotional charge that was locked into the scene, the nerve centers and fields of our bodies at the moment of the trauma’s encoding. People find this process empowering and usually report experiencing relief from longstanding problems as they find themselves seeing the world in a new and more positive way. HMR is not typically a lengthy therapy. People receiving HMR often report a swift resolution to their symptoms. 

HMR is grounded in somatic and energy psychology, emphasizes the mind-body connection, and helps individuals release past trauma as well as emotional and physical pain. Studies show HMR to be effective for the treatment of a number of psychological and somatic conditions where other treatment methods have been unsuccessful.

What is Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)?

The mind can often heal itself naturally, in the same way as the body does. Much of this natural coping mechanism occurs during sleep, particularly during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Francine Shapiro developed Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in 1987, utilizing this natural process in order to successfully treat Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Since then, EMDR has been used to effectively treat a wide range of mental health problems. EMDR utilizes the eye movements as a natural healing ability of your body by creating the connections between your brain’s memory networks, enabling your brain to process the traumatic memory in a natural way.  EMDR is an innovative clinical treatment, which has successfully helped millions of individuals. The validity and reliability of EMDR has been established by rigorous research. There are now nineteen controlled studies into EMDR making it the most thoroughly researched method used in the treatment of trauma, and other mental health problems such as anxiety disorders, sleep problems, complicated grief, addictions, pain relief, phantom limb pain, self-esteem, etc.(www.emdr-europe.org and www.emdr.org).

What is Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT)?

CBT is based on the idea is that our unique patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving are significant factors in our experiences, both good and bad. Since these patterns have such a significant impact on our experiences, it follows that altering these patterns can change our experiences. CBT helps people to examine how they make sense of what is happening around them and how these perceptions affect the way they feel. CBT aims at helping individuals to change thought patterns, the beliefs they may hold or may not know that they hold, change attitudes, and ultimately behaviors in order to help them face and change difficult emotions and mental problems. CBT is a practical, short-term form of psychotherapy that requires both the therapist and the client to actively participate in the sessions. CBT requires that clients are willing and able to complete homework between sessions in order to identify problematic thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, and find alternative new strategies for addressing them.
