RET is designed as a brief, focused intervention. Most clients experience significant symptom relief within 4–6 sessions, and the complete protocol is typically delivered in fewer than 10 sessions.

The 10-session model is ideal for clients with multiple trauma memories, complex presentations, or when working within structured funding frameworks such as Australia’s Better Access program.

RET is effective for adults and adolescents experiencing:

• PTSD and trauma-related symptoms

• Complex trauma presentations

• Anxiety and phobias

• Grief and loss

• Shame and emotional overwhelm

It is particularly valuable for clients who:

• Want to reduce emotional reactivity in their relationships and daily life

• Tend to intellectualise their experiences

• Have discussed trauma extensively without achieving emotional resolution

RET integrates multiple evidence-based therapeutic elements:

• Imaginal exposure

• Emotional processing

• Acupoint stimulation

Each element is supported by independent research. While RET as a fully integrated approach is undergoing formal evaluation, it is grounded in current neuroscience and trauma theory — including research on memory reconsolidation, affect regulation, and identity-level belief change.

Yes — when proper protocols are followed. RET includes:

• Readiness assessment before memory processing

• Structured containment strategies

• Ongoing affect monitoring during sessions

It prevents emotional flooding through titrated exposure, somatic tracking, and therapist-guided pacing.

Note: Clients with active psychosis or extreme instability should be stabilised before starting RET or referred to crisis services.

Yes. RET has been successfully adapted for online delivery. Clients perform tapping on themselves under therapist guidance via a secure video platform.

Therapists are trained to:

• Observe somatic cues online

• Track emotional shifts

• Maintain therapeutic presence remotely

Special telehealth adaptations ensure safety and containment throughout the process.

RET training consists of two progressive workshops:

1. Level 1 Workshop – Foundational RET protocol, session structure, trauma inventory development, guiding clients through each treatment phase.

2. Level 2 Workshop – Advanced techniques for imaginal exposure, complex trauma presentations, dissociative responses, and tracking belief shifts with greater clinical precision.

Many therapists report:

• Reduced burnout

• Increased job satisfaction

• Feeling energised rather than depleted

RET’s clear framework and shorter treatment duration allow therapists to witness significant client change without prolonged emotional intensity.

No special equipment is required. After completing both workshops, therapists can integrate RET into their practice.

While formal certification is not mandatory, ongoing supervision or case consultation is strongly recommended, especially when working with complex trauma.

RET includes built-in safety protocols allowing therapists to:

• Pause and redirect

• Return to resourcing exercises

• Defer memory work to later sessions

Non-response is rare. Most clients respond to small adjustments, such as Level 2 Time Travel imagery or more gradual pacing.
