This workshop addresses both problems by careful preparation and systematic trauma reprocessing for implicit memories and early templates. The preparation includes: A) containment, B) bringing the body to a “safe state” (as opposed to a safe place), and C) resetting innate emotional resources, which appear to directly act upon primary-process subcortical affective circuits to downregulate the experience of emotional intensity. Done correctly, it avoids evoking the felt sense of the emotions so they can subsequently be reprocessed without flooding. After the three preparation steps, the method systematically reprocesses early trauma, in the absence of explicit memory. It targets consecutive time periods beginning before birth, releases emotional and somatic distress, and installs positive reparative experiences. As a result, the client builds a foundation of a felt sense of attachment and belonging, with emergent positive cognitions, enabling the client to meet the next developmental milestone in sequence.
