Life is stressful, anxiety-provoking, and frequently traumatic. The painful experiences we go through aren't simply "over and done with" once we pass through them, however. They each leave their mark, etched deep into both the psyche and the body, affecting how well we function from this point onwards. The magic of the approach of David Berceli's Trauma Release Process is that it can be utilized by anyone, any place on the planet, even when professional help is beyond the individual's reach.

Time doesn’t heal trauma — it buries it alive. If you’ve ever felt hypervigilant no matter how safe you are, battled an inner critic that never sleeps, or longed for intimacy yet found it unsafe — you are not broken. These patterns aren’t weakness or flaws. They are survival strategies that once protected you but now keep you trapped. You don’t need more surface fixes — you need a full-system reset. Most recovery approaches treat only one layer.

Research shows that attachment patterns—our patterns of relating to others, which develop in early childhood—affect far more aspects of our lives than was previously thought. Given how crucial these patterns are to how every patient relates to the world and to their own selves, how can therapists harness attachment to provide more effective therapy? Using accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy AEDP® theory and methodology as a foundation, the authors present an innovative approach that tailors treatment to attachment patterns.
