Have you ever wondered why some therapies create lasting change, while others mainly help us cope?

One of the most exciting discoveries in neuroscience is memory reconsolidation—the brain’s remarkable ability to update the emotional meaning of traumatic memories. This process lies at the heart of transformational change and is a key mechanism in therapies such as EMDR and Coherence Therapy.

Healing isn’t about erasing the past. It’s about changing how the past lives within us.

I’ve written a short blog explaining how this fascinating process works.

Fascinating new treatment for addiction is developing

Doctors at Rambam Health Care Campus have reported a medical first in Israel after treating a man with severe opioid addiction using a non-invasive, 20-minute focused ultrasound procedure.

The patient, who had developed a dependence on painkillers following a neck injury and was taking roughly 130 pills a day, underwent treatment using MRI-guided technology developed by Insightec.

The procedure targeted the nucleus accumbens, a key brain region involved in addiction, without surgery or implants. Doctors say the patient’s cravings dropped dramatically during the treatment itself, with follow-up tests showing no opioids in his system.

He also reported a sharp reduction in smoking and the disappearance of his desire to drink alcohol. The breakthrough is part of a limited international clinical trial underway in Israel and the United States.

"Contrary to what most of us believe, happiness does not simply happen to us. It's something that we make happen". (Csikszentmihalyi: Flow)

How would you define happiness? Do you consider yourself a happy or an unhappy person?
