- MR was coined (I think?) by Dr Bruce Ecker, who came up with Coherence Therapy
- There’s a really good lecture by him on youtube about it
- He talks about how things like CBT lead to incremental change where you leave the limiting belief/habit in place, and try to install a new one to counteract it. Vs with memory reconsolidation, you update the limiting belief, and boom, it’s updated, no need to try to install a new behaviour, you just update. See the time-series graphs in the diagram below
- See Kaj’s book summary here
- See Scott Alexander’s Mental Mountains, where he shouts out the above as a more worth link
- Unlocking the Emotional Brain
- Coherence Therapy and Bruce Ecker are big names here
- See also Lefkoe Belief Updating as an efficient way to do this
- Coherence Therapy is also an efficient way to do this. IFS probably works by this mechanism too

All of these are made by me from a lecture by Bruce Ecker on youtube which I can’t access right now because I block youtube about from 30 mins a day…
