Memory Reconsolidation and Metaprocessing Emotions | AEDP - Part 3 of 3

Memory Reconsolidation can be achieved through processing emotions, particularly if followed by AEDP's technique of metaprocessing.

In this video I explore how the process of moving through deep emotions and then reflecting on this experience through AEDP's technique of "metaprocessing," can serve as an avenue for unlocking memory reconsolidation. Memory Reconsolidation is a particularly powerful form of neuroplasticity, one that allows our unconscious imprints or core beliefs to be transformed. More specifically, I will look at how AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) approaches deep emotional processing work, and why the technique of metaprocessing is likely to meet the requirements for unlocking memory reconsolidation.

The core point is this: AEDP offers an entirely new, unexpected experience around what it can be like to process through emotions, one that is very likely to serve as a 'mismatch' experience (a core requirement for memory reconsolidation). AEDP work supports the brain's capacity to notice this mismatch through 1) keeping people within their window of tolerance (which is required for our mismatch detection system to stay online), and 2) through fully exploring the new experience in a process called metatherapeutic processing (or metaprocessing for short). During metaprocessing, clients are encouraged to spend time exploring the experience of allowing themselves to move through their authentic emotions, and finding that doing so takes them somewhere better. Metaprocessing is perhaps AEDP's most unique contribution to our field, and plays a large role in AEDP's capacity to galvanize memory reconsolidation.
