What Can Emotional Transformation Therapy ® (ETT ® ) Do? By Steven Vazquez, Ph D Consistently facilitate relief of current emotional distress within seconds or minutes

Why Does Speed of Treatment Matter? 1.Many people come to therapy because they feel distress they cannot alleviate. When it is relieved quickly, they are grateful. 2.Most people seek pharmaceuticals from their doctors instead of going to counseling because they think it is faster. ETT ® is usually faster than drugs.

3. Most talk therapy involves long and drawn out emotional experiences, but that length of painful experience is usually unnecessary in ETT ®. 4. It is necessary to face emotions in ETT ®, but the length of time in distress is radically shortened

5.“Exposure therapies” like prolonged exposure, desensitization, EMDR. etc. risk higher dropout rates because they confront the avoidance defense too long. 6. Briefer encounters with emotional distress makes people feel more comfortable in therapy

7.It costs less to conduct treatment in fewer sessions 8.It is more humane to make excursions into distress more brief Consistently facilitate retrieval of relevant implicit or somatic memory Elicits and permanently erase core emotional memory responsible for current symptoms with a brief series of sessions

Consistently facilitates elimination of severe physical pain within minutes Consistently changes dissociative symptoms within a brief series of sessions Permanently eliminates addictive craving, without pharmaceuticals, as rapidly as in a single session

7 Rapidly extinguish panic attacks within a brief series of sessions Consistently eliminate obsessive compulsive symptoms within a brief series of sessions

8 Light, Brain and Vision Consistently facilitate states of extreme wellbeing such as: 1.Emersion into the timelessness of the present moment 1.Euphoric states of joy 1.Ecstatic states of love

9 4. States of complete peace 5. Direct experiences of contact with the divine 6. Direct experiences of oneness, or the void 7. Elevation of self-esteem, confidence, or self-compassion

10 8. Complete release of grief, anger, and/or fear 9. Gratitude and forgiveness 10. Positive visionary or auditory hallucinations

11 What is ETT ® ? a synthesis of attachment based interpersonal therapy that is radically amplified by precise visual brain stimulation facilitates "transformation" of emotional disturbances

12 How Visual Brain Stimulation Impacts Emotion and Physiology When light enters the eyes, photosensitive cells convert light into neural impulses These visually initiated impulses travel throughout the entire brain

13 Many of these neural impulses affect parts of the brain beyond the visual cortex that control thoughts, emotions, and physical symptoms

14 By selecting precise forms of visual stimulation, at the time of emotional distress, the neural impulses are directed to rapidly change the parts of the brain responsible for the disturbance

15 This "resonance" changes the disturbance and can be directed to facilitate: 1. Relief of physical symptoms 2. Relief of cognitive symptoms 3. Memory retrieval 4. Insight 5. States of extreme wellbeing

20 There are four ETT ® modalities Multidimensional eye movement(MDEM) which uses an innovative form of slow, precise eye movement in conjunction with color that facilitates rapid psychophysical changes

21 Peripheral eye stimulation that can facilitate instant relief of intense emotional or physical distress, or access implicit memory related to an issue

22 Spectral resonance technique can (1) detect and change dissociation, (2) detect affective escalation and change it, and (3) facilitate “instant unlearning” of core emotional memory permanently in one session.

23 Light emitting device which can execute all of the functions of the other modalities plus facilitate brainwave entrainment and states of extreme wellbeing

24 These modalities offer flexibility to custom-tailor treatment to: variations of individual responsivity adaptability to different psychophysical symptoms
