When anything happens in the world our experience of it is unique to us and becomes our memory. Our memory will always be different from every other person experiencing the same event because we see it from a different viewpoint and we have a different history. Most of the time our memories of an event overlap sufficiently for us to be able to agree on what happened but not always and never completely.

​

Stress and PTSD are similar in that stress is often caused by lots of relatively small unprocessed memories and PTSD may be caused by one experience, although often it is more. The point is, unprocessed memories will unite with others to cause symptoms that can get diagnosed as PTSD. There really is no need to make a distinction between stress and PTSD because the solution is the same.

​

If an experience was overwhelming because it was too frightening or too difficult to understand or too painful or just too much, then its associated memory will also be overwhelming. The memory only stops being overwhelming when it is processed by its owner. When a memory has been fully processed it can be recalled without causing any stress.

​

Every memory and experience has to be processed for its owner to be at peace and 'in the clear'. This peace and clarity is possible for every single person.

​

Every memory can be fully processed without input from anyone else. Nobody needs to apologise or admit they were wrong for you to be at peace.

​

Stored, unprocessed memories cause problems the longer they are left unprocessed. They stop you being at peace and seeing things clearly.

​

Processed memories can be recalled with ease; they can be stopped or started half way through and they do not cause distress to the owner however complex the original experience.

​

Unprocessed memories weigh heavy and the total weight of unprocessed memories is called your stress level. Aside from weight, unprocessed memories require energy to keep them suppressed and when this energy runs low people become irritable or tetchy or withdrawn and depressed. This is a consequence of not dealing with unprocessed memories.

​

The effort required to store unprocessed memories always exceeds the amount of energy required to process them. So why not process them sooner rather than later?

​

Because it takes energy to keep them suppressed, unprocessed memories often break out. This can happen in sleep with a bad dream or while awake as in flashbacks or a panic attack.

​

Every moment of every day, within every person, there is a TO DO LIST of unprocessed memories that need to be processed. We have some power over that list, we can stop a memory from being processed BUT the only way to get a memory off the list is to completely process it. The only way a memory gets processed, and off the list, is by replaying it and at the same time hold a connection to peace. Being connected to peace means that at every stage of the memory playing out you are in control and it is not running away from you: you can stop it, start it or just feel it without getting overwhelmed. When the to do list is empty you not only feel lighter but also happy and at peace.

​

Storing unprocessed memories takes effort and energy and the bigger the problem the more effort is required but, always, the mind wants them gone. The mind tries to get rid of them by bringing them to consciousness when you are feeling relaxed and safe or in bed as you are letting go into sleep. The mind never wants to store traumas, it does so out of necessity so you can carry on living but it is always trying to find ways to clear them. Each time you stop the process the mind will find a new way to get around your latest suppression. Eventually, and this could be days, weeks or years, it will find a way in the form of a flashbacks, nightmares or panic attacks.

​

PTSD is NOT a malfunctioning of biological processes as some people say. There is nothing 'wrong' with you even though you might be experiencing horrendous symptoms. Panic attacks are the mind's attempt to process the trauma but, IT IS STILL TOO MUCH TO HANDLE. Stopping the process through any sort of medication or other means only keeps the problem.

​

Counselling and talking about the problem are attempts to relive the experience from a more distant perspective. However, there is little control over the situation and it is easy for the client to get off track or get overwhelmed. Also, talking involves words but the experience wasn’t composed of words and isn’t stored in words. Talking about the problem, even when possible, does not really engage the experience - it may work for some but it is inefficient. But engaging the experience might be too much. What is the solution? The answer is The Boulderstone Technique.

​

The solution is to relive the experience(s) but to know how to slow down the experience when it gets overwhelming, to keep it on track when there is a desire to escape and to speed it up when it gets bogged down and ALL THE WHILE KEEP A CONNECTION TO PEACE so that if the memory is replayed (even during sleep) there is still the connection to peace. This is why you need a skilled practitioner, someone who has experienced all of this before. You need a Boulderstone Technique practitioner.

​

When done correctly, the event is not forgotten but from then on there is a connection to peace so if you want to look at the experience you can without getting overwhelmed or lost.

​

The Boulderstone Technique is so effective that you can notice a lasting change after the first session. In fact, if you do not notice a change you do not have to pay! Also, we can remove ptsd with our fast track sessions. This consists of two consecutive days with a minimum of three sessions per day (some conditions apply).

​

What do we do practically? Practically, we have you lie on a treatment couch, we hold your head and connect with what is going on when you start to think about your stress, PTSD or unprocessed memories. The Boulderstone Technique practitioner creates a connection to peace. We feel through our hands a version of what you are going through as you connect to the unprocessed memories. We know what to do at every stage. We know when to keep you on track and not get distracted. If it starts to become too much we know how to slow it down and emphasise the connection to peace so you can process the trauma without overwhelm. Together we work through the original memories, slowly connecting them to peace as we go. In this way we resolve virtually every case of PTSD in a few hours rather than weeks, months or even years. Every session leaves you in a better and more peaceful place than you were before, you actually feel it. Our technique is called the Boulderstone Technique and is destined to become the number one method for dealing with trauma and PTSD.
