For the past few months, I was studying about a therapeutic Intervention called Coherence Therapy( previously as Depth oriented brief therapy). I believed that there is no permanent solution to our sufferings and if there is then it would take years. I was wrong. After carefully studying this method of therapy I started believing that there is some hope. In my country, there is no one who is a coherence therapy practitioner. I don't have money to work with a foreign therapist online due to the exchange rate. It will be very expensive for me. That is why I can't access it. But I can share this info to you guys so that you can change your life.
Coherence therapy(CT) is neuroscience informed experinetial constructivist psychotherapy. It works on the principle of memory reconsolidation. Most of the therapies available to mankind try to use logic and manage the symptoms. CT does not apply logic. it doesn't help. CT therapists believe every symptom has a compelling need to exist for one or more than one unconscious emotional learnings. They uncover that. Then they integrate it to conscious awareness. After that, the client emotionally experiences an experience which disconfirms that previous emotional learning. The brain uses memory reconsolidation and completely unlearns the previous emotional learning. After which all the symptoms automatically cease to exist because there is no need for the symptoms to exist. symptoms permanently get erased and there is no risk of relapse. Other therapies don't create transformational change because they try to counteract the symptoms with logic ( like CBT). Your logical brain is different from your emotional brain. CT has two benefits-
1.creates transformational change
2. In the shortest time possible
One case example of panic attacks, Adrien was suffering from panic attacks for decades. Her panic attacks vanished in five sessions. Yes, five sessions. Not just panic attacks, she became more gregarious, her posture changed, she became more assertive. There are some other therapies which use memory reconsolidation like Emotion-focused therapy, Accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy, EMDR, Gestalt therapy. But those therapies take more sessions than CT. For more information please visit their site, coherencetherapy.org. I hope this information helps you.

I am really interested in this because it actually sounds possible from other reading I have done. From a evidence based perspective do you know if there is any research evidence on it yet?
I was aware of the other longer therapies you mentioned also. It seems to tie in with what I think is the biological approach that the amygdala in the brain needs to be reprogrammed and has to unlearn to fear the things that it has learned to fear and over react to thus triggering the body to over produce stress hormones. It seems a tall order to achieve reprogramming the amygdala.
I will try to make time to read about it myself also and look at the evidence base and perhaps we could share what we can find.
I think it may also have similarities to a therapy I heard described on the radio 4 All in the mind programme on the BBC which is a very respectable source of information. They took a group of PTSD sufferers for a period of 48 hours and did an extensive brief therapy on them where they opened up about traumatic experiences in their past. Interestingly this was partly facilitated by using drugs something similar to a street drug, I think it is called MDMA, which some antidepressants including Venlafaxine have a similar component in them. I am on Venlafaxine and have definitely experienced a change in my approach to life for the better that seems to be more than just masking symptoms. I am more sociable, understand myself and my relationships with significant others on a deeper level and have had a reduction in an underlying anxiety I do not think I was even aware before starting to take it. This is as well as the masking of the symptoms of severe anxiety, loss of appetite, nausea, dizziness etc which were triggered suddenly following a life trauma. I feel I now need to access some sort of talking therapy in the hope it may help the process of reprogramming the amygdala by airing the things in my childhood which perhaps were the longer term past triggers of my anxiety condition. This will in no way be the same as the therapy you are describing but us all I can afford too. However if I find there is a good researched evidence base behind the therapy I may see if I could find a way of affording it. What country are you from by the way?
Going back to the radio 4 covered experiment; the drug used encourages sociability and opens up the mind in some way.
This one very limited experiment is not evidence but it did have some remarkable proven results of a "cure" being effected with many of the people in the group after this one very long drug supported session.
