I'm currently seeing a therapist who SOMETIMES uses a technique called Brainworking Recursive Therapy. I think of some bad memory and then T takes me back to some really good memory and then guides me back and forth very fast between the two. This is an oversimplification but kind of the way it feels. When I think of the 'bad memory' afterwards it no longer brings up any emotion. We are going to try the technique on what he calls a different level in which it is meant to change core issues.

When I google this technique however, I get PAGES of results that all seems sponsored by the person/organisation putting it out. So far as I can see there are no academic studies that establish it. It concerns me a little that I can find no critical literature about it. I find the idea that it LITERALLY rewires the brain somewhat implausible... Does anyone have any experience with this?
