Scientifically proven with over 90% success rate without medication or re-living the trauma
I am a retired N.Y.C. Police Officer who was shot in the line of duty, March 21, 1984. After four visits all my PTSD symptoms ceased.
This has been awesome! The change is like night and day. I am now able to walk in dark rooms by myself. Now I am alert yet not hypervigilant.
After RTM I feel normal again. A huge weight has been lifted. It’s amazing.

RTM works for people dealing with a wide range of traumatic events
Examples of traumatic events include: natural disasters, accidents, sexual assaults, physical assaults, combat, childhood sexual abuse, torture, or life-threatening situations or illness
Exposure to a traumatic event can be by direct experience, witnessing the event, or learning it happened to a close family member or friend
Currently the memories of the traumatic events are intrusive in your life through flashbacks, nightmares, avoiding situations that may remind you or potentially trigger the traumatic response, and other negative effects of the trauma that may be affecting your relationships, sleep, mental functioning, and so on
Whether the trauma event happened 1 month ago or 50 years past, RTM can help
Anyone who is tired of suffering with PTS trauma symptoms and wants a better quality of daily living will gain from RTM treatment
Reconsolidation is a mechanism for updating long-term memories
Memory reconsolidation allows a very brief, non-traumatising exposure to traumatic memories to open a window for updating that memory
During that time the incorporation of structural changes to the memory break the connection between the traumatic memory and the “fight and flight” response
This process does not change the content of the memory
When the reconsolidation window closes, the memory is changed in an effective, long-lasting way
Within 24 hours, or one sleep period after treatment, those changes have become permanent elements of the original memory
After reconsolidation, a traumatic memory is a memory without the fear, terror, helplessness attached
Testimonials from clients who worked with Certified RTM Practitioner, Alan Ross.
For me this RTM works.
I can recommend this whole heartedly.
It was the most effective piece of treatment I have ever had.
I had a series of terrible events happen last year in the space of a very short time and it left me struggling and with trauma symptoms. I was struggling to cope, I constantly thought of what had occurred, I couldn't speak about the event without crying and I was struggling to sleep.
The therapy was amazing and it really worked.
Well it has massively helped me and it started to work from my very first session. By the end of the treatment I could talk about the events I'd been through and had no adverse reaction. I also was sleeping at night and my stress reactions had greatly reduced so the trauma was no longer affecting me in the same way as before.
Since the therapy I have become much more balanced and happier and I have been finally able to move forward with my life. I highly recommend it as Alan has changed my life.
The protocol has been rigorously tested under the strict scientific scrutiny of Independent Review Boards (Copernicus, Duke University) and Peer Reviewed Professional Journal publications. Over 90% of the 160 veterans in the studies who received the RTM treatment had complete cessation of flashbacks, nightmares and the emotional problems related to their traumatic memories. Results of the pilot study were successfully replicated in three additional studies with further research on-going.
Jeffrey David Lewine, PhD, Professor of Translational Neuroscience at The Mind Research Network in New Mexico has been using brain imaging studies to explore the neuro-biology of PTSD and how the RTM helps normalize brain-behaviour relationships.
These are the before and after brain scans showing a sample of Dr Lewine’s initial pilot results. The dark reds & blues on the left are Pre RTM-Treatment scans showing a PTSD abnormality. They have completely disappeared in the Post Treatment scans taken 5 days after treatment.
The RTM Protocol has been included in The International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies’ (ISTSS) 2019 book, “Effective Treatments for PTSD”. The ISTSS is regarded as the premier forum for trauma around the world.
“The Research and Recognition Project has developed a behavioral treatment for PTSD named RTM that has shown high rates of symptom reduction (PSS-I) and loss of diagnosis in complex military PTSD. It was recently reviewed in Kitchiner et al. and found to be one of only two of the treatments examined to meet their efficacy criterion for consideration as effective for treating military PTSD”.

We have a breakthrough with how we treat people with Post traumatic stress.
I am a true believer in this program (RTM).
"RESOLVED, By The American Legion in National Convention assembled in Phoenix, Arizona, August 31, September 1, 2, 2021, That The American Legion urge the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and the Secretary of Defense to offer the Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories (RTM) Protocol as a treatment option for veterans and active-duty military suffering from Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)..."
King's College London has been awarded £318,114 from Forces in Mind Trust (FiMT) to undertake a randomised control trial of RTM for ex-Service personnel with PTSD.
This graph shows the results of the first three post-pilot RTM studies as compared with evidence-based treatments currently approved and used by the VA and Army. As you can see from the blue lines, which represent the percentage of patients who experience a remission in PTSD symptoms, the RTM studies produced from 70-90% remission compared to other treatment methods which produced 20-49% (based on the PSS-I measurement scale).
Testimonials directly from the clients who participated in the research studies for the RTM protocol conducted by the Research And Recognition Project, the research arm of RTM.
The fear, anger and frustration that haunted me for years are now gone. Most importantly I no longer waking up sweating from the nightmares which were affecting my marriage and relationships with my kids due to sleep deprivation and feeling powerless.
I can’t say that I’m 100% cured but I am happy and functional. I don’t have to live in a bubble anymore and keep my family isolated because of the fear of the unknown and the evils that lurk around every corner. I am no longer captive to my past or a victim.
I would like to thank the Blue Angels Foundation for helping to make the RTM treatment possible. I no longer have the nightmares or flashbacks. I was very skeptical but finally, I decided to try it out, and now the only regret I have is not doing RTM sooner. Thank you for giving me a happier life. I will forever be thankful.
Before treatment, clients suffer from re-living a past traumatic event, and experiencing the associated traumatic emotions of fear, terror and helplessness, again and again.
During the treatment, the RTM procedure is designed to avoid the re-living of the event. Psychological measures are employed to maintain a safe and comfortable relationship to the traumatic memory that is being reconsolidated.
Clinicians are trained to ensure you stay as relaxed as possible instead of getting hooked and re-associating into the traumatic feelings. You are free to ask questions about any concerns you have. Also, please appreciate that the clinician does not need extensive information about the trauma event to start treatment with RTM. After minimal details are gathered, the RTM treatment proceeds in a safe methodical fashion.
After the treatment, over 90% of clients report that the memory is just like other memories in the past, that the traumatic emotions of fear, terror and helplessness are no longer present, and they can talk about it in a calm and detached manner. The traumatic emotions have been separated from the memory and it no longer intrudes into the clients life as flashbacks, nightmares or triggered associations.
The focus of RTM is to separate the traumatic feelings from the memories using a relaxed visualisation process. Clients are guided to dissociate themselves from the traumatic memory and while separated from feelings of fear, terror or helplessness, make changes, so that the memory no longer signals fight, flight or danger.
Sessions are clinician-led during which the client sits in a comfortable chair and visualises pictures on an imagined movie screen in a way that separates the traumatic memories from the traumatic feelings.
Over 3-6 individual therapy sessions:
You will be asked about flashbacks and nightmares and trauma related events in a way that is non-traumatising
You will be given directions that will help you stay calm and relaxed
You will practice the visualisations that are key to the RTM process
You will learn how to create dissociation and get distance from the event
You will notice how the physical sensations related to the events decrease during each session
You will find the RTM Protocol steps easier and easier to do with each session
The sessions require no homework or practice outside the therapy sessions
