The course was interesting and Dr. Smith has an engaging teaching style. However, I felt skeptical about the treatment he was demonstrating, as he did not back it up with any evidence. After years of therapists trying tofigure out how to reduce the effects of trauma, Dr. Smith's method seems so simplistic. In the demonstration, I strongly doubted that the women's traumatic reactions were gone for good. If Dr. Smith's rapid method works this well,he is certainly on his way to fame.

This was a super interesting course. I learned a lot and it brought up a lot of desire for further learning. However, it is somewhat misleading by the title. It certainly is about substance use and trauma, but it is very specific to one type of treatment. There is nothing wrong with that, just that it is titled like a general course, and should identify the lens tht it comes from.

Dr. John Smith is an outstanding presentation. Since the seminar was 1.5 hours, it did not seem as rushed and he was also able to provide a video demonstration of memory consolidation. His extensive knowledge, clinical expertise was apparent throughout the presentation. His imagery of concepts are very memorable.

I really struggled with this course. The instructor took all the credit for the treatment. He stated things like, "I'm going to reboot your mind." "My goal is to get that down to zero." "You saw what I did. I did all of that...it's lasting and permanent."I also struggled with the statement, "If she's laughing, she's not crying," as if this proved the technique was effective.He also seemed to completely discount that women can experience anxiety around sexual assault every single day.

Everything, the information provided, the technique demonstrated, the hope given, the way the Doctor presented the information was easy to follow. I do plan on learning more about Memory Reconsolidation. My 35 yr old daughter in law died of breast cancer leaving behind my son and a 1, 3 and 5 yr old. Certainly a traumatic event that they had no control over. I have learned a lot from this presentation and I plan to learn more, hoping to make a difference in my families life and in those patients I work with. Thank you.

Dr. Smith is an excellent educator! He presents complex material in a sequential manner which helps the learner absorb it. His birthday candles technique is ingenious. It is both simple; not requiring ay specialized, expensive equipment and effective in a short time. A client can experience relief from symptomotolgy in one session vs. weeks, months and even years of other methods. Highly recommend Dr. Smith and this course.
