What is Coherence Therapy?
Coherence Psychotherapy lays out the steps necessary to facilitate memory reconsolidation,
our brain’s built-in process for updating historical, previously important survival-based
emotional learnings that continue to drive behavior long after they are necessary. If you’ve had
the experience of knowing intellectually that a behavior does not serve you, yet remain
powerless to change it, it is most likely driven by old emotional beliefs operating out of
conscious awareness. Coherence Psychotherapy can help us bridge the gap between what we
know to be true and what we actually do. It is effective at treating a full range of mental health
and behavioral issues including, but not limited to anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors,
substance abuse, disordered eating, self-esteem issues, relationship issues PTSD,
developmental trauma (C-PTSD).
Memory reconsolidation is the basis for all effective trauma treatment, and when its steps are
carried out successfully, creates permanent, effortless changes in behaviors and beliefs that no
longer serve us. Like all good trauma treatment methods, Coherence Psychotherapy is an
experiential treatment, meaning it facilitates real-time experiences in the treatment room to
help us get in touch with, and then update, subconsciously held material that drives deeply
ingrained behaviors that may be harmful to ourselves and our relationships. It can be used as
a stand-alone method, or in conjunction with other trauma-informed treatment models to
make them even more effective.
