Martha Stark, MD, will be presenting an action-based, solution-focused, future-oriented psychodynamic model that conceives of the mind as holding infinite potential and of memory as dynamic and continuously updating itself on the basis of new experience (whether real or simply envisioned). A constructivist perspective at heart, this freshly minted Model 5 of her Psychodynamic Synergy Paradigm is a quantum-neuroscientific approach to healing “analysis paralysis — when “understanding alone is simply not enough.”
Model 5 – an innovative and exciting approach to effecting deep, enduring, characterological change – is informed by the groundbreaking neuroscientific discovery that when implicitly held traumatic memories are reactivated in an embodied fashion, the network of neural synapses encoding these procedurally organized memories will become deconsolidated for a time-limited period. This unlocking will create an opportunity for both rewiring the brain and reprogramming the mind by way of therapeutic memory reconsolidation.
Indeed, over the course of the past two decades, a dedicated group of cognitive neuroscientists, ever intent upon ferreting out the neural mechanisms underlying the dynamic nature of memory, have been using advanced neuroimaging techniques to deepen their understanding of the brain’s remarkable neuroplasticity, that is, the brain’s innate capacity continuously and adaptively to reorganize itself in response to ongoing environmental stimulation – but only if certain conditions are met.
More specifically, repeated and embodied juxtaposition of old bad learned expectations with new good envisioned possibilities will create decisive – and potentially transformational – mismatch experiences. If these mismatch experiences are provided often enough and forcefully enough within the critical time frame of four to six hours, then the ongoing violations of conditioned expectation will eventually trigger energetic decoupling of the client’s toxic past from her lived present and therapeutic reconsolidation of the client’s narratives from outdated and disempowering to updated and more empowering – fueling quantum advancement of the client from entrenched inaction to intentioned action and actualization of potential.
Capitalizing upon the brain’s remarkable neuroplasticity, Martha’s quantum-neuroscientific Model 5 features co-created (by therapist and client) quantum disentanglement statements designed to release the client from her past as she envisions new possibilities for her future, takes ownership of her need therefore to change how she positions herself in her life, and then commits to acting in alignment with that imperative going forward.
Ann Landers’s simple but profound advice is very much to the point here, “Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead, that is where your future lies.”
