The Right Left Technique
(RLT) has
many uses. Here are a few:
A.
For Mental and Emotional
Pain
Almost all mental
disorders and
emotional disturbances have psychological trauma as a part of their
makeup.
RLT will heal the psychological trauma while keeping the subject
calm.
B.
Physical Injuries
If a person loses a leg,
the
psychological trauma associated with the loss can prevent him or her
from
having a normal psychological life. When the loss of a leg
changes the
physical life, RLT will heal the psychological trauma.
RLT does not treat the
disorder or
injury, itself. Instead, it treats the psychological trauma
associated
with the problem. This allows the subject to live life much more
fully.
C.
To Relax
RLT’s relaxing
benefits can relieve
pressure. Always striving to do our best during tests or in front
of
people can prove quite taxing. Use RLT to relax before and during
events,
such as students during testing, actors before performances, and
employees
before high power meetings. Using RLT after an event can prevent
residual
trauma.
When “Little
t” trauma or a
hidden trauma produces stresses at work or makes life too difficult to
handle,
we use RLT to eliminate that trauma, and to relieve that stress.
-->D.
-->For
Sleep Disorders
When a sleep disorder has
its root
in “Little t” trauma or “Big T” trauma, RLT can
be used to relax people so they
can sleep. Even major trauma, worked on at bedtime, does not
prevent
sleeping.
E.
To Heal Phobias and to Stop
Panic Attacks
Phobias and panic
attacks are
the result of triggering traumatic events from the past. In some
cases,
the initial event is no longer remembered, but still, reactions to the
trigger
are felt. In this case, use RLT on the reaction or feeling when
the
results of the phobias or panic attacks occur.
RLT IS SO POWERFUL,
IT WILL
HEAL OR NEUTRALIZE THE TRAUMA EVEN WHEN THE TRAUMATIZING EVENT CANNOT
BE
REMEMBERED.
F.
To Cure Rage
When trauma is
triggered, rage
can result. When rage becomes great enough, it may be expressed
through
the body as physical aggression. Emotional or physical aggression
is
difficult on those nearby. Spouses and children are especially
vulnerable.
RLT eliminates the
trauma, and
therefor eliminates the rage – neither the trauma nor the rage
will
reappear. If the rage is not caused by a trauma, then
professional help
may be needed.
G.
To Overcome Anxiety
RLT helps anxiety
over an
upcoming test, performance, or in new or distressing situations.
RLT can
release any trauma associated with anxiety, and will help the subject
to relax
before the event.
H.
Nightmares and Flashbacks
Nightmares and
flashbacks are examples
of trauma that has been suppressed, but returns at later times.
Usually
the trauma is from “Big T” type trauma, such as war
experiences.
Nightmares and flashbacks usually appear when the subject is relaxed
and not
expecting it. RLT will eliminate the trauma, which in turn
eliminates the
nightmares and flashbacks.
I.
To Eliminate Night Terrors
Psychotherapists
cannot agree
upon a cause for night terrors, and no cure existed before EMDR, and
now
RLT.
RLT has to deal
with the cause
of night terrors, which can last from ten to sixty minutes.
People do not
remember their terrors, making treatment tricky and difficult.
A comparison of
night terrors,
nightmares and sleepwalking follows:
Night Terrors
· Muscles are more activate
· Person does not remember
upon
awakening
· The person may seem to be
awake, but
is asleep
· Happens during non REM
sleep
· More intense and lasts
longer than
nightmares
Nightmares
· Muscles may seem frozen
and
disconnected
· The person may remember
upon
awakening
· Person seems and
is asleep
· Happens during REM
sleep
Sleepwalking
· Muscles are more
active
· Person does not
remember upon
awakening
· The person may
seem to be
awake, but is asleep
J.
For Crime Victims
Because the Right
Left
Technique does not affect the memory of a person, RLT can be used in
violent
crime cases such as rapes and assaults. The trauma in these cases
is
eliminated without changing or altering the victim’s
memory. In fact, it
may improve the memory of the victim.
The victim should
use RLT
during a) police questioning, b) when accusing their attacker, and c)
on the
witness stand. RLT allows the victim to remain in emotional
control
throughout the ordeal.
RLT is a calming
technique that
helps heal the trauma from violent events. It prevents
re-traumatizing
the victim, any time the traumatic event is retold.
A major component
of police
questioning is ensure that they do not implant false memories into the
victim. RLT neither uses autosuggestion nor implants false
memories.
