Joe Dispenza says heart-focused practice can ‘reset’ PTSD trauma in the brain

What was said

"And when you tell them, it's the heart that resets the baseline for the trauma in the brain. All you have to do is have the courage to open that thing again."

Dispenza says his work includes people with ‘severe PTSD’ and veterans, arguing that trauma is ‘stored in the body’ and that practising heart-focused techniques can reset the brain’s trauma baseline. He describes the desired endpoint as keeping the memory while removing its ‘emotional charge’, which he characterises as turning the past into ‘wisdom’.
