Dear Katrice, I am massively involved in this area. Together with my colleagues around the world, we all use very strategic versions of the narrative, to un-couple, as you say, and de-intensify the neural connections around traumatic events. Understanding the way in which literally millions of sensory details become embedded, activated and 'stuck' in our procedural memories paves a pathway to understanding how they may be de-activated and complete the 'threat cycle.' Subsequent retrieval of the narrative is altered in intensity as well as many other sub-modalities, and most importantly, in the meaning that has been made around the narrative. I formally teach and train these techniques several times a year and mentor various kinds of practitioners, facilitators and therapists in integrating these techniques into current protocols. Please let me know if I can provide you with more helpful information on this crucial subject. Kind regards and respect, Jondi Whitis
