The Innovation Journey

Research Integration Background

After 16 years of trauma-informed practice, I recognized that three robust research areas existed independently but had never been systematically combined: memory reconsolidation windows, awe neurobiology, and trauma memory formation.

Research Foundation

My systematic integration approach is now supported by emerging academic research showing that transformative experiences create measurable changes in connectedness and psychological flexibility (University of Louisiana, 2024). This confirms what I’ve observed in practice for more than a decade.

The Systematic Breakthrough

The Impact Method™ doesn’t invent new neuroscience. It systematically integrates established research with precise timing protocols. This creates healing interventions that match the neurobiological intensity of traumatic encoding by deploying competing experiences during optimal modification windows.

Academic Positioning

I’m not claiming to have discovered new brain science. I’m the first person to systematically combine three established research domains with precision timing and personalization protocols that make therapeutic integration possible.

Regional Connections

New Hampshire resident with strong academic ties. One son graduated UNH Cybersecurity (2023), another is a junior at Boston College. I understand both innovative integration and academic validation requirements.

Patent Coverage

Application #63/839,907 and #63/845,439 covers the systematic integration methodology for both coaching and clinical settings, recognizing this represents novel therapeutic protocol development, not basic research discovery.

Research Integration Validation Opportunity

The Research Question

Can systematic integration of memory reconsolidation, awe neurobiology, and trauma memory research create measurable therapeutic outcomes when deployed with precise timing and personalization protocols?
