Yildiz Sethi Advanced Brief Therapist
I am an ex war veteran and had suffered symptoms of PTSD, panic attacks, flash-backs, depression, anger outbursts for over 20 years. I was looking for a better way of dealing with this. I found Yildiz and was sceptical at first but even after one session had a major change in my inner distress and symptoms. I have 5 sessions in all and am now symptom free. Such a relief for me and my family. I can't recommend this enough.
What Makes Us and our Techniques Different?
- Traditional talk therapies focus only on the cognitive mind. Our practice is different because we use specialised, brief techniques designed to work gently, safely and effectively.
- We target the source of the cause of the issue rather than concentrating on symptoms.
- To help you to resolve the issue rather than manage the symptoms.
- Subconscious targeting: Works directly with the implicit emotional patterns where trauma is held, rather than just analysing it logically.
- No narrative fatigue: Eliminates the need to repeatedly retell or unpack traumatic stories, specifically minimising unnecessary re-exposure to distressing memories.
- Somatic discharge: Releases trapped trauma quickly using fast, bottom-up body-based (somatic) processing.
- Brief therapy framework: Every session we run utilises a focused, fast-acting Brief Therapy model rather than open-ended, weekly talking sessions.

Why Choose a Brief Approach to Trauma Recovery?
Traditional therapy can be valuable, but some people find that talking about their experiences and developing coping strategies does not fully resolve the emotional responses that remain.
Rapid Core Healing takes a different approach. Rather than requiring you to repeatedly analyse or retell your history, sessions focus on identifying and processing the emotional and somatic patterns that are continuing to affect you now.
The aim is focused therapeutic work rather than open-ended treatment.
The Types of Trauma we support
In my practice of over twenty five years so far, my clients have shown me that there are at least three types of trauma that require processing.
These are:
Personal Trauma
Personal trauma can arise from difficult or harmful experiences in everyday life, including bullying, alienation, racism, emotional, psychological or physical abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault, and experiences of war or conflict. These experiences can leave lasting emotional and physical patterns that continue to affect wellbeing, relationships and daily life.
Relational Trauma
Relational trauma can develop during our childhood and formative years when important relationships lack safety, secure attachment, emotional connection or healthy bonding. Experiences such as neglect, rejection, inconsistent caregiving or disrupted relationships can shape how we relate to ourselves and others throughout life.
Generational Trauma
Generational trauma refers to unresolved trauma and disturbances that can be passed down through family lines. Using specialised Systemic Family Constellations, this approach helps uncover and address unconscious burdens, implicit loyalties and inherited patterns that may continue to affect individuals and families across generations.
Trauma Recovery Therapy
Trauma can develop after experiences such as accidents, violence, abuse, war, serious injury or other overwhelming events. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, panic, emotional numbness, avoidance and feeling constantly on alert.
Rapid Core Healing provides a brief, trauma-informed approach for people seeking support with trauma-related symptoms (including PTSD) gently, safely, effectively and without re-traumatising you.
What Does Trauma-Informed Mean?
A trauma-informed approach recognises how trauma can affect emotions, behaviour, relationships and the nervous system. It prioritises safety, choice and emotional sensitivity and avoids unnecessarily forcing a person to repeatedly relive painful experiences.
Your Step to Recovery Process - How Trauma Therapy Works
Rapid Core Healing provides a structured, focused pathway rather than open-ended therapy. For most clients, the main therapeutic work is completed in only a few sessions.
Your Rapid Core Healing Trauma Treatment Session
Your sessions are 55 minutes and focus on the underlying patterns contributing to your difficulties.
The process may include:
- Subconscious & Implicit Memory — working with the subconscious and implicit memory associated with past experiences.
- Personal & Generational Patterns — using Emotional Mind Integration and Systemic Family Constellations to address personal trauma, family dynamics and generational patterns where appropriate.
- Nervous System Integration — working with survival responses such as fight, flight and freeze to support emotional regulation and stability.
Rapid Core Healing may assist with trauma, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, relationship difficulties, repeating patterns and other emotional concerns.
We review your progress, check for any remaining or residual effects, and identify whether any previously unrecognised issues have surfaced. Where appropriate, we discuss whether any further support is needed.
Important: Rapid Core Healing is a short-term processing approach. It is not suitable for complex psychiatric conditions such as Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, DID or BPD.
Trauma Can Show Up in Many Different Ways
You may not think of yourself as having trauma. Yet unresolved trauma can show up as anxiety, panic attacks, depression, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, relationship difficulties, repeating patterns or feeling stuck despite trying other forms of therapy.
Rather than focusing only on managing symptoms, Rapid Core Healing works with the underlying emotional and subconscious patterns contributing to them.

- Works with emotional and subconscious responses, rather than relying only on talking and cognitive analysis

Frequently Asked Questions About Trauma Treatment
How can complex trauma be resolved in just a few RCH:PTIT-P&G trauma recovery sessions.
Rapid Core Healing is designed to work with the deeper emotional and subconscious patterns associated with trauma, rather than focusing primarily on extended discussion of the past.
By accessing implicit emotional and somatic responses, the process aims to identify and work with the underlying patterns contributing to current symptoms. This can allow significant therapeutic processing to occur within a small number of focused sessions.
Will I have to retell my traumatic story in detail?
No. You are not required to repeatedly describe or relive painful experiences in detail.
Rapid Core Healing focuses on the emotional and somatic responses your system is experiencing today, rather than requiring you to continually revisit the traumatic story. This approach is designed to minimise unnecessary re-exposure to distressing memories while working with the underlying patterns.
What is the difference between personal and generational trauma?
Personal trauma relates to experiences that happened directly to you during your lifetime.
Generational trauma refers to emotional patterns, beliefs, fears or unresolved family experiences that may influence subsequent generations through family relationships, learned patterns and, potentially, biological mechanisms such as epigenetic processes.
Rapid Core Healing can explore both personal and family-system patterns where they appear relevant to the difficulties you are experiencing today.
What Does Research Say About Brief Therapy?
When you’ve tried different approaches to recovery, promises of change can start to sound like noise. That’s why my practice is grounded in research and clinical evidence—not simply anecdotal success.
Brief therapy can be effective because it focuses on the underlying drivers of distress, rather than simply managing symptoms. Rapid Core Healing works with subconscious, systemic and emotional patterns that may continue to influence thoughts, behaviours, relationships and the body.
Research in psychotherapy and neuroscience increasingly demonstrates the brain’s capacity to change and reorganise through neuroplasticity—the ability to form and strengthen new neural pathways. It uses a sequence of processes, within Emotional Mind Integration, to identify and work with underlying emotional patterns. This provides an important scientific foundation for approaches that aim to create lasting changes rather than simply manage symptoms.
If you would like to examine the research, clinical trials and evidence supporting these approaches, please visit my Evidence-Based Research page.
You can also explore research and educational resources from The Truitt Institute, which examines trauma recovery, neuroplasticity and related therapeutic approaches.

What Others Say About Trauma Recovery with Yildiz
I developed PTSD after being bullied and intimidated in a work situation, to the point where I was forced to leave. I have tried CBT and several other therapies, but found relief with Yildiz and Rapid Core Healing in only a few sessions.
I was involved in a serious car accident where I was trapped for several hours and lost my partner. The flashbacks were very disturbing. The sessions I had with Yildiz were so relieving in helping me put it behind me.
