Two Case Reports: Using Simulated Re-Attachment to Treat Persistent Complex Bereavement Disorder and PTSD

Publication date: Available online 6 October 2017 Source:EXPLORE: The Journal of Science and Healing Author(s): Mark Rider These case reports focus on a rapid treatment for persistent complex bereavement disorder and PTSD which appears to activate the mirror neuron network. Simulated Re-Attachment is a technique which has been found to repair phantom limb pain in just a few sessions. The same neuroplasticity that accomplishes phantom pain relief has been found to occur in the treatment of complicated grief and PTSD using similar methods. The Simulated Re-Attachment for the client in Case 1 was found to significantly reduce the symptoms of both complicated grief and OCD within one session. In Case 2, symptoms of PTSD and depression were significantly reduced in a client with lupus after two sessions of Simulated Re-Attachment. In addition, inflammatory markers ANA and CRP declined from the beginning of treatment to the end.
