The question is not only which trauma therapy works.

The more important question may be why it works when it does.

Andrew Huberman examined approaches such as prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy at a high academic level. I want to examine the mechanisms and the sequence operating inside those modalities.

What specific therapeutic syntax may produce high efficacy and low recurrence?

I am not an academic, and I do not have access to the research resources Andrew does. I would genuinely welcome the opportunity to work with him and study these mechanisms.

Based on the current research and what I have observed in practice, I believe this is where trauma treatment is going next.

The modality matters, but the mechanisms inside it may matter even more.

Here is where I believe Andrew Huberman got it wrong about overcoming fear and trauma.

His episode contains a great deal of valuable information, but I disagree with how several established talking therapies are presented and with the suggestion that traumatic memories should be extinguished or replaced with a new positive story.

The goal is not to erase the memory or overwrite it with something that did not happen.

I also want to be clear about ketamine, M**A, and other psychedelic substances. These substances do not resolve trauma by themselves. They may create a context in which the traumatic experience can be addressed without triggering the same overwhelming emotional response, but the context is not the intervention itself.

That distinction matters.

You can look composed during the day and still be unable to fall asleep at night.

Daytime coping can conceal the emotional charge a person is carrying. Sleep cannot.

When an unresolved affective memory keeps the nervous system alert, the body may continue scanning for danger long after the original event has ended.

Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep is not merely inconvenient. It may be one of the clearest signals that the system still does not feel safe.

What changes when we stop treating sleep as an isolated symptom and start listening to what it may be telling us?

My motivation to help people overcome trauma is deeply personal.

My first son passed away shortly after birth. During my military service, I witnessed seven of my friends die in an aircraft accident. Those experiences are only part of my history with trauma.

I do not know enough about Andrew Huberman’s life to make assumptions about what he has or has not experienced. I can only speak from my own experience and from my work with hundreds of clients.

The modality I use has demonstrated greater than 90% efficacy in research, with little to no recurrence. I also teach these techniques to other practitioners.

My perspective comes from having experienced trauma, worked with it professionally, and helped others overcome it.

Future pacing is more than asking someone to imagine doing better next time.

It gives the nervous system repeated opportunities to predict and rehearse a different future, to experience flexibility, recognize new possibilities, and discover that an old pattern is no longer the only available response.

If the brain prepares the body according to what it predicts will happen next, then imagining a different future is not merely positive thinking.

It is an opportunity to practise a new prediction.

The future does not have to become a repetition of the past.

Most of us have imagined failure more times than we could count.

The conversation going badly.

The presentation falling apart.

The relationship ending.

The old trigger happening again.

But how often have you rehearsed what happens after things go well?

That’s one of the pieces I now deliberately build into future pacing.

Not just:

“What will you do differently?”

But:

How will you feel?

Where will you feel it in your body?

How will other people respond?

And then…

Imagine yourself fifteen minutes after you’ve succeeded.

What does success feel like now?

Future pacing isn’t just visualization.

It’s giving the brain a new future to predict.

Some of the most influential affective memories are formed during the earliest years of life.

Early experiences can shape what a child learns, believes, rehearses, and eventually comes to expect from the world. Adverse childhood experiences, attachment injuries, and traumatic events may continue influencing the brain’s predictions long after the original experiences have ended.

That is why, when an early affective memory is resolved, it is important to pay close attention to what happens next.

If the memory helped shape the prediction, changing the memory’s emotional charge may change what the person expects from the future.

Your brain is constantly predicting what will happen next—and preparing your body to respond.

But those predictions are not made in isolation. They are shaped, in large part, by your history.

When memories from the past still carry unresolved emotional charge, they can influence what your brain expects to encounter next: more threat, failure, rejection, or danger.

You may then enter the next moment of your life already organized around a prediction created by the past.

The question is not only, “What happened to me?”

It is also, “What is my brain predicting because of what happened?”

The goal isn’t to replace one automatic reaction with another.

It’s to create choice.

When an unresolved affective memory is driving the prediction, a situation can feel as though it has only one possible response:

Fight.

Avoid.

Shut down.

Get triggered.

But once that emotional charge changes, people can begin responding differently.

Calmly.

Assertively.

Curiously.

By leaving.

By engaging.

By letting it go.

The important change isn’t that one response becomes “correct.”

It’s that there are options again.

Resolution creates behavioural flexibility.

What does healing actually look like?

Allen shares one of the most personal examples from his own life: losing his first son 34 years ago.

He can still remember him.

Still think about him at Christmas.

Still wish he had a 34-year-old son today.

But the overwhelming negative emotion is gone.

The memory remains.

The love remains.

The event is in the past where it belongs.

That is the distinction Allen makes between healing and forgetting.

Healing is not numbness.

It is being able to remember without being pulled back into the injury.
