Review
"Ecker's, Ticic's, and Hulley's Unlocking the Emotional Brain, like some earlier classics, draws from, adapts, and integrates the very best of the best currently available concepts and techniques into a powerful and accessible psychotherapeutic method. What sets this book apart is how these elements are mixed, matched, and delivered to each individual client. Packaged in a highly engaging read, psychotherapists of all sorts will find many resources which will enhance as well as ease their work." ―Babette Rothschild, MSW, LCSW, author of The Body Remembers: The Psychophysiology of Trauma and Trauma Treatment "Unlocking the Emotional Brain is one of the most important psychotherapy books of our generation. It brings the recent groundbreaking brain research on memory reconsolidation to the mental health field.... This is the first psychotherapy book to delineate the sequence of experiences the brain requires to heal. This is big, important information that is applicable across many treatment approaches. No matter how good a therapist you already are, reading this book will make you better." ―Ricky Greenwald, PsyD, founder/director, Trauma Institute & Child Trauma Institute, and author of Child Trauma Handbook and EMDR Within a Phase Model of Trauma-Informed Treatment "Drawing on the latest developments in neuroscience, Bruce Ecker, Robin Ticic and Laurel Hulley provide an innovative approach to psychotherapy that is very much of the 21st century. In this book filled with both groundbreaking neuroscience and provocative case examples, they describe how to tap into the reconsolidation process in therapy. If you want to know what's happening that is new in psychotherapy, this is the place to start." ―Jay Lebow, PhD, clinical professor of psychology at Northwestern University and editor of Family Process "A major contribution to the field and a must read for any therapist interested in the process of transformation and healing. Beautifully written, the authors present an elegant integration of neuroscientific findings and psychotherapy technique, resulting in a step by step method for relieving longstanding symptoms and suffering. Even the most seasoned clinician will be inspired to learn from these masters." ―Patricia Coughlin Della Selva, PhD, clinical professor of psychiatry at the UNM School of Medicine and author of Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy: Theory and Technique "Read this book and you will never do therapy in the same way again! These authors show you how to do effective therapy rooted in the science of the mind." ―Jon Carlson, PsyD, EdD, ABPP, distinguished professor at Governors State University and coauthor of Creative Breakthroughs in Therapy "A refreshing and audacious book that throws open the doors and blows the dust from the corners of clinical practice…. [O]ffering a 'virtually theory-free' methodology…, the authors…add a startlingly effective process to the repertoire of every clinician [and] build powerful alliances across clinical approaches…" ―Ann Weiser Cornell, PhD, author of Focusing in Clinical Practice: The Essence of Change "A transtheoretical, effective and efficient approach, nicely grounded in recent neuroscience, for deep, transformational change in pernicious emotional implicit learnings…. This is a significant 'breakthrough' book…. I recommend it most highly!" ―Michael F. Hoyt, PhD, author of Brief Psychotherapies: Principles and Practices "Imagine the founders of diverse therapy methodologies discussing how they achieve deep, lasting, transformational change and agreeing it's due to one basic process. Building on state-of-the-art neuroscience to identify that core process, the authors develop an approach that is theory-free, nonpathologizing, empathic, experiential, phenomenological, and nonspeculative, and that hones therapy while not cramping the therapist's unique contribution―an integrationist's dream!" ―Hanna Levenson, PhD, author of Brief Dynamic Therapy "A unique, creative, and insightful book that…fits with recent neuropsychological findings on how the brain can alter and even eliminate old painful memories. This book is on the forefront of books that are using neuropsychological findings to illuminate psychotherapy." ―Arthur C. Bohart, PhD, professor emeritus at California State University and coauthor of How Clients Make Therapy Work

I've purchased 100s of books from Amazon.com over the years and while I frequently read the customer reviews prior to a purchase decision, I've never before had the inclination or urge to write a review myself. This is my first.As a little background and context, in my 2nd stage in life, I made a career change and am currently a registered Marriage and Family Therapist Intern nearing completion of my experiential hours required to take the licensing exams. A Masters Degree and 3000+ hours of experience does not qualify me as an expert in psychotherapy though it does give me a lot of face time with people suffering from mild to severe psychological issues. The training and supervision process has also shown me that almost all therapists struggle with how best to help our clients and what specific tools, theoretical modalities or other techniques to use to ease this suffering. Along the way, therapists, including myself, adopt theories that fit with our own philosophical beliefs and life experiences. Personally, I've found myself relating best to the 3rd Wave Cognitive/Behavioral Therapies (ACT, DBT, etc.) though Interpersonal Neurobiology (INPB) and attachment theory have heavily informed the therapeutic path I currently follow. Brief Therapies haven't been my focus, but I've occasionally come across things that feel relevant and helpful.A few years back, I came across Ecker and Hulley's book, Depth Oriented Brief Psychotherapy, and it fascinated and moved me to consider the most logical notion that psychological "symptoms" are functional. Other paths caught my attention, but I've occasionally come back to this book and was very interested when I saw that Ecker, Hulley, (and Ticic) had a new book coming out. I immediately pre-ordered it. When it arrived last week, I picked it up, started reading it, and had finished it within a few days. Very few psychological theory books get me past a few chapters, but I read "Unlocking the Emotional Brain" as if it were a favorite author's novel that could not be put down.I can't speak to the science behind "memory reconsolidation," but having uttered the phrase that "we don't get an eraser for our past" more than a few times, I was more than a little excited to read that it might actually be possible to erase and re-write implicit learnings/memory from our past. Attachment related issues are so common in this field, yet most methods of dealing with them are aimed at the therapist/client having an almost "reparenting" experience to provide the secure attachment the client didn't get early in life. "Unlocking the Emotional Brain" provides a very specific, detailed methodology for actually elimiminating those implicit, generally unconscious learnings we pick up from our life experiences from an early age and onward, thus reducing the need for the symptoms that support those learnings. I assumed the book would be a Coherence Therapy manual (and it is to a certain extent), but I was gratified to see it written as a trans-theoretical model of how psychological change actually happens and how a variety of types of therapy achieve this change. I can think of no other book in my library of psychology books that is more clear on the why, what and how of working with clients. I've already started using this new knowledge with clients and it's already produced results where there was stuckness prior.I believe this book should be read by all levels of therapists, but especially students, interns, and those still struggling to find their theoretical home base from which to ground their therapeutic work... Cannot recommend highly enough.
This book easily earns 5 stars. Somehow I missed the boat on the cognitive aspect of implicit memory. My training in EMDR implied that negative (emotional) cognitions were pretty easy to access—“It’s my fault, I’m not safe, I’m trappedâ€â€”simply by asking, “When you remember the incident, what does it mean about you?†This is a standard CBT guided discovery question. However, after applying some of coherence therapy (CT) techniques even half way through reading the book, my clients started verbalizing thoughts they did not know they had that FELT true: “It feels powerful for part of me to predict I’ll fail, just like the kids who ridiculed me felt powerful.†This concepts is more complex than the standard CBT core beliefs. Intentionally re-reading “limbic language†thinking errors will elicit a search for contradictory knowledge (i.e., there is a part of me that knows it is not powerful to predict my own failure.) I bought this book after learning about memory reconsolidation and using BRAIN CHANGE CARDS (available on Amazon) that offer a neurochemical perspective and tool. I think Peter Levine explains it best in AN UNSPOKEN VOICE, 2010: [Re-consolidation] diffuses the adrenalin charge of a compressed trauma [memory] snapshot. During stressful experiences or trauma we are flooded with adrenaline which removes blood from our forebrains for fight-flight. Thus, it makes sense that thoughts attached to those experiences would be full of thinking errors [limbic language]. Therapies that trigger neurochemicals for bonding (oxytocin), return of blood to the forebrain (acetylcholine), focus and reward (dopamine) explain HOW the adrenaline charge is diluted.I plan to take Ecker’s on-line courses so I can better integrate mismatching emotional (verbal) learnings with new knowledge into my current practice of dissolving stress hormones with uplifting neurochemicals that BRAIN CHANGE CARDS utilize. I am glad that Ecker cites the right cortical hemisphere as the location for long term storage of emotional learning. However, he also states that emotional learning is stored in the subcortical limbic system. I thought the only memories stored in the limbic area are procedural in the Striatum. Can any other readers please clarify for me if any verbal memories are stored in the limbic area.
Bruce Ecker and his wife are pioneers and visionaries. His brilliant application of neuroscience's research into Memory Reconsolidation is a gift to all those interested in healing rather than symptom repression. I believe his work on MR will usher in a new wave of effective/actually healing therapies in the quantum era. It also explains the underlying neuronal factor in the efficacy of EMDR, DNT, ACT, etc. and all other holistic and treatments, including why the influence of a good therapeutic alliance (think safety & calming while activating a difficult memory) is found to be the most important factor in all the studies on the efficacy of psychotherapy. Bravo Bruce & Laurel!!
