Memories
AFT dissolves our emotional attachment to painful memories or anxious feelings about future events. During a session, we step through your memories and I guide you to reconsolidate them. This means you look at that memory and the emotions fused to it, adjust your emotions attached to it and consolidate (or bring together) your memory in a whole new way.
