Conditions Treated by Split-Second Unlearning

A list of some of the conditions that have been successfully treated using Split-Second Unlearning

Split-Second Unlearning (SSU) is a therapeutic approach proposed by Hudson and Johnson to address psychophysiological disorders by targeting Emotional Memory Images (EMIs) formed through traumatic or significant emotional events. These EMIs are believed to trigger chronic psychophysiological stress responses, contributing to a wide range of conditions. Based on the available information, SSU has been applied to conditions such as phobias, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and other psychophysiological disorders like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The model suggests that by disrupting the connection between EMIs and physiological stress responses, symptoms can be alleviated, often in a single session.

The sources describe categories of conditions (e.g., phobias, chronic pain, psychophysiological disorders) and provide examples like allergies, bedwetting, dyslexia, and addictive behaviours. The list below shows some of the conditions commonly associated with psychophysiological stress, as SSU targets the underlying stress mechanisms that could theoretically apply to a broad range of stress-related disorders. A comprehensive list of conditions that fit the psychophysiological framework, including specific phobias, types of chronic pain, and disorders like IBS, have been added, while noting that SSU’s application to all these conditions may require further empirical validation.

List of Conditions Potentially Treatable with Split-Second Unlearning

The following list includes conditions explicitly mentioned in the sources, as well as others that align with the psychophysiological stress model SSU targets. I’ve grouped them into categories for clarity, focusing on phobias, chronic pain, psychophysiological disorders (e.g., IBS), and related conditions. Phobias (Specific and Complex):

Phobias are irrational fears tied to specific triggers or situations, often rooted in emotional memory, making them prime candidates for SSU.

Critical Considerations

Evidence Gaps: SSU is a novel approach with promising results, but the sources emphasise the need for more robust clinical trials to confirm its effectiveness across the full range of conditions.
Theoretical Applicability: SSU’s mechanism (disrupting EMIs) could theoretically apply to any condition with a psychophysiological stress component, but practical application may vary based on individual factors and condition complexity.
