HOLOGRAPHIC MEMORY RESOLUTION

This new breakthrough approach may be important to you


In the following text, I will be introducing to you a new modality (Holographic Memory Resolution (HMR) that is often unusually effective for addressing chronic issues related to past experiences—whether emotional or physical trauma.

 

One of the things I like most about HMR is that the process is often easy for you and for me. It also moves quickly.

 

I had an initial training in September 2018 and a second training in February 2019. A third advanced training November 2019. I’ve also been participating in monthly support/education meetings which continue today. I have my own personally-developed approaches that I use for my regular communication and relationship coaching, but if someone is meeting up with issues that don’t soften when using my methods, HMR is my go-to for creating a breakthrough.

 

Here’s some info I put together on this new modality that I send out to those interested…

 

For 45 years I’ve worked on my own challenges that came from having an extremely difficult childhood, and I have been assisting others with the same challenges for over 30 years. I have tried scores of healing modalities and have been trained in many of them. I have also developed my own methods. There is no one silver bullet.

 

How I’ve approached my personal growth and healing path is “until something comes along that makes the process easier and more effective than what I’ve found so far, I will keep looking for that better method.”

 

Prior to being introduced to Holographic Memory Resolution, I had sent out a prayer to Spirit because many people coming to work with me had heavy traumas that interfered with my relationship and communication coaching. “Lord, please send me people with less severe trauma. Moderate trauma is okay, but not severe. It’s just a lot of work for all of us. And it just adds to the complexity of supporting their relationship.” I believe the answer from Spirit was, “I have another idea. How about I provide you with a method that easily softens trauma situations?” I think HMR was the answer to my prayer.

 

I’ve tried (or been trained in) talk therapies, breathwork, EFT, EMDR, TRE, Somatic Experiencing, Bio-touch, Psych-K, Completion Process, various energy healing methods, just to name a few. Although some of these methods produce powerful results, none of these approaches have been consistently effective for me and for others I work with. (If I didn't have HMR, I would explore more into Completion Process. It's very similar to HMR and is newer than HMR.) HMR has become the better method I’ve been searching for all this time. From the moment of taking the initial training in 2018, the results I have seen with clients has been nothing short of amazing. I still feel this way over 5 years later (as of this writing in March 2023).

 

 

My personal experience of receiving HMR sessions: I’ve had good results having HMR sessions to address my own traumas. Not to deter anyone from trying HMR for themselves, but I have not gotten over-the-top-amazing results for myself. Good results, but not amazing. As perplexing that is for me, the fortunate part for you is the fact that my complex trauma patterns has had me continue searching for better and better methods. HMR continues to be the best method I’ve found so far for freeing up trauma. It may not be the best method for everyone since we're all unique.

 

I believe Holographic Memory Resolution could revolutionize the mental health system, and in some ways the medical system. Not to mention that it has the potential to alter the mental and emotional health of humanity as a whole.

 

The reason I’m writing to you is because I think you, or someone you know, might want to experience this modality.

 

Do you have:

  • Re-occuring or chronic unpleasant moods or feelings?
  • Memories from past events that are distressing, and even some memories you do not ever want to revisit?
  • Things you know happened in your past, but you aren't able to access the memories?
  • Situations in your present life that are deeply upsetting you?
  • Re-occuring distressful body sensations or pain?
  • Goals and desires that you are having trouble manifesting?
  • Resentments and/or regrets that weigh you down?
  • Adult traumatic experiences (emotional and physical)?

 

Would you like a potentially gentle and quick way to soften or even dissolve these issues? So far, the results with myself and with most of those I’ve been working with have typically been breakthrough results. I am truly and frequently stunned at the results.

 

Extremely difficult experiences and memories are usually released easily. Some VERY severe abuse or trauma situations have been more of a challenge for us to navigate, and may take more than an hour of addressing it from different angles, or multiple sessions. But even in those situations, after the session, people have said things like, "That was much easier than I expected."

 

THE DEVELOPMENT OF HMR

HMR was developed by a seasoned trauma expert, Brent Baum. HMR is based on his many years working in the field of addiction and trauma. Although many of the other methods being used today can be effective and can be used in conjunction with HMR, there are a number of drawbacks to many of the more well-known methods. Such as:

 

  1. They often take much longer than HMR.
  2. The sessions are often difficult and uncomfortable for the client, and quite a bit of work for the therapist or practitioner.
  3. They can re-traumatize the client because you explore many details of the trauma.

Generally, most everyone I work with walks away feeling like a weight has been lifted off their shoulders. Often their body is tingling with energy and/or people feel deeply relaxed and at peace.

 

When Brent Baum (the developer of this approach) was leading the trauma program at Cottonwood (a well-known treatment center in Arizona), Dr. Graham, the leading addictionologist at Cottonwood initially said to him: “People in this field who might consider adopting this approach will be handicapped by its simplicity. We have been taught, after millennia of holding our traumas and the accompanying symptoms intact, that healing is painful, prolonged, and often carries no promise of full resolution.”

 

Brent was guided in the testing and development of this new method through his extraordinary sensitivity to the ‘energy systems’ of a person’s body. Brent can feel when and where there is blocked energy. And further, he can feel the exact moment the blocked energy releases. So, his own energy system is a built-in biofeedback tool that guided him as he honed this new method.

 

So, essentially, this work is an ‘energy’ modality for relieving the distress--distress that is being unwittingly generated by the memory of past difficult experiences. All of us have endured difficult experiences. If you have body distress or mood distress, you are likely carrying something from your past.

 

With HMR, the above-mentioned distress is released by the client using their imagination in specific and relatively simple ways. The releases are generally not drawn-out processes. They’re usually surprisingly quick and powerful. However, some patterns and issues do require the HMR practitioner to come at it from different angles. That requires more time, but the benefits are usually felt all along the way.

 

Once you’ve had a session, and if you're inclined, you can utilize some pieces of the approach to assist yourself or others. If you want to know about the founder and see some links, write and ask me for some info I’ve put together. For a list of certified HMR practitioners and for reading/video material on the HMR process, go to this website. http://www.healingdimensions.com/ 


The HMR website has a list of certified practitioners. It's not likely a practitioner is in your area unless you live in a larger city. The good news is that HMR can be done by phone or video call. (I'm not on the certified practitioner list yet because I just haven't taken the time to take the written test for certification.)

 

Here is a one minute intro video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUirvPQZcOQ 


 

 A little about an HMR session:

  • The HMR process is typically enjoyable—even with a highly traumatic past.
  • The session is relaxing and done with your eyes closed.
  • The process does not require a person to re-experience and deeply explore painful experiences and feelings from the past. You basically just touch upon those experiences and then implement the simple remedies. [Again, with very severe situations, there can be some difficult spaces to navigate.]
  • The process of dissolving distress of a particular event or a series of similar events is often about a 10-20-minute process. As one situation resolves itself, your body system may then present the next thing to address. So, you might find you want an hour or longer to address multiple concerns.
  • For new clients, first sessions will also include about 30 minutes of taking your history. (For those I work with by phone or video, since during much of the session you will have your eyes closed, you have your choice. Video could be a little better for me in that I can read what's happening with you, but sometimes people feel less distracted and freer by phone.)
  • One of the key theories behind this modality is that after a traumatic event, the brain rewinds the memory and freezes that memory at a point just before the worst of a difficult experience. This is a protection mechanism to protect you from re-experiencing the event. Unfortunately, you're stuck with the trauma.

Most modalities are designed to free a person from that point of memory freezing—although it may not be the stated goal. Some modalities work very well for a certain percentage of people. Not so well for others. The goal of HMR is to quickly and gently free you from the moment that you froze, thus releasing the distress that you have been carrying around with you.

  • If you have difficult experiences in your past that were repeated over and over, such as chronic criticism, or being physically hit. These repeated experiences can be grouped into a whole. The whole group of difficult experiences can theoretically be softened with one process.
  • Being able to recall specific memories is not required. We usually start with a concern or complaint that you have, or an uncomfortable body pain or sensation. The body sensations may automatically lead you to memories. If no memories come up, HMR has other ways to release the distress associated with the past.
  • Most of the time, the body tells us what it is ready to work on next by presenting pain or discomfort. That leads to the event. Thus, you don't have to be the one to decide what to work on first. Physical pain has been scientifically proven to often be a memory of past pain. (see the fascinating book, The Brain That Changes Itself, 2007). Pain has been wired in the brain to fire such that it feels like present pain. Thus, if one brings a modality that rewires the brain or frees up the memory, physical pain and discomfort can disappear in a split second. (I suspect the same is true for much of emotional pain.)
  • HMR follows your process. Sometimes the sessions go straight by the HMR book, but often the client follows their own healing guidance system. The role of the practitioner is often just setting the stage and allowing your own inner guidance to provide you with what you need. Many sessions have a tone of magic to them.
  • Even with memories that you already know about, the HMR process tends to have you experience the events in new and insightful ways.

 

If you’re like me, this sounds too good to be true. When I first found out about HMR, I was skeptical. “How could something so simple be so powerful and effective?” If I had not heard about the amazing results people experienced from HMR, I would have passed it off as another method that only works well for a few people.

 

Although I speak very highly of HMR, I don’t put any pressure on you or myself to have magical results. We’ll just give it a try and see what we come up with.

 

 

One aspect of the process, but is optional, is where the practitioner holds their right hand on the top of your shoulder on the spine. This point brings a soothing aspect to the process, as well as freeing the body/mind to identify memories. (Think of when you pick up a kitten by the scruff of the neck and how the kitten relaxes.) This point lowers brain-wave activity and thus calms the body so the client feels safer. This piece isn’t required, but it can be very beneficial. We only hold this point if a person is comfortable with the physical touch. Holding that point on the spine can’t be done over the phone, obviously. However, I have found HMR works quite well over the phone. (I also may energetically put my hand on the person’s shoulder when doing it over the phone/video. And I can do that energetically in person if one prefers no touch.)

 

To your healing and freedom,

Bill

 

PS: If you have been taking the following anti-anxiety meds within the last 6 months, the process may not be quite as effective: Zanex, Adavan, Klonopin (Clonazepam or any other in the family of benzodiazepine), as well as flourioxine. These are memory suppressants. And, if you take them at any point after the session/s, some of your symptoms may return.
