Why Target 2 Zero Intensives & Organizational Training Matter
Stress doesn't just make us feel bad - it literally impairs our ability to make clear decisions. When our brains are overloaded with unprocessed stress and traumatic details, we operate in survival mode rather than strategic thinking mode.
What happens under chronic stress:
Working memory becomes compromised
Decision-making shifts from flexible to rigid
We react from past trauma patterns instead of current reality
Team communication breaks down
Performance suffers across the board
How Target 2 Zero helps:
Individual Intensives: We clear the accumulated stress and traumatic details that keep your brain stuck in threat-detection mode. When those minute details are processed, your brain functions optimally again - better problem-solving, clearer thinking, improved emotional regulation.
Organizational Training: Teams learn rapid stress recovery protocols they can use daily. This creates a culture where stress is managed proactively rather than accumulating until burnout hits. When everyone has tools to reset quickly, the entire organization benefits from better decisions, stronger collaboration, and sustained performance.
The bottom line: You can't pour from an empty cup, and you can't make good decisions from a stressed brain. Target 2 Zero gives individuals and teams the tools to maintain mental clarity and optimal functioning even in high-pressure environments.

The Science Behind the Magic
Why does Target 2 Zero work so remarkably well?
It all started with a simple observation: Children clear trauma in 5-10 minutes while adults take 1-4 hours. The question? WHY?
The Theory: Safety Heuristic + Sensorimotor Overlay developed by Scarlett Williams 2021-2025
Brain stores threat details as survival data
Overlaying the memory with the sensiormotor system
Memory reconsolidation happens without distress
Think of it like upgrading from dial-up to fiber optic - same destination, revolutionary speed.

What if trauma therapy could be faster?
Target 2 Zero is a novel approach that processes traumatic memories in just 20 minutes vs. 180 minutes with traditional EMDR.
The game-changer: Combining movement therapy, current neuroscience research, with memory processing Results: 100% completion rate, ZERO stabilization sessions needed Impact: 84% reduction in PTSD symptoms across all cases
This isn't just incremental improvement - it's a reimagining of how we heal trauma.

After 30+ years in trauma therapy, I discovered something that changed everything
I walked into a random breakout session at FMHCA's conference in January, knowing nothing about "Target 2 Zero." What happened next blew my mind.
In just 10 minutes, Scarlett Williams LPC guided our group through a protocol that helped me process the overwhelming grief from my sister's sudden death. I went from avoiding thoughts of her to being able to remember her with love instead of pain.
The results? I had to learn this technique.
I flew to Virginia for training and discovered Target 2 Zero is:
86% faster than standard EMDR
Reduces PTSD symptoms by 84%
Processes trauma in 5-20 minutes vs. 1-7 hours
Eliminates the intense emotional overwhelm of traditional methods
One client with complex PTSD was so afraid of her abuser (who lived across the country) that she locked bathroom doors while showering. After 10-15 minutes with Target 2 Zero, that crippling fear was gone. She remains symptom-free today.
When research shows that adverse events contribute to 31% of anxiety disorders and traditional therapy takes 6 weeks to 6 months, why should people suffer unnecessarily long?
Target 2 Zero combines EMDR with movement therapy and cutting-edge neuroscience. It's not just faster—it's gentler, allowing clients to process a lifetime of trauma without the emotional exhaustion.
Sometimes the most profound discoveries happen when you least expect them.

When the email comes that no parent wants and every parent dreads…
“Update: Incident… Accident…”

Two minutes before a client walked in for their Target 2 Zero session, I got that email from my child’s school.

If I hadn’t developed Target 2 Zero as both a treatment and a preventative tool, I would’ve been on the floor wretching. Instead, I was able to keep my wits about me- using the same technique I’ve shared with thousands.

I took a deep breath, told my client what was happening, and said:
"Give me a moment—I need to do Target 2 Zero or I won’t be able to focus."

Two sets. One minute. I was good to go.

Thankfully, it turned out to be a bus accident with minor injuries.

Grateful to Montgomery County Public Schools and First Responders for handling it so well.

If you ever experience an intense moment and want to prevent the 20 common symptoms that often follow trauma or stress—Target 2 Zero Rapid Stress Reduction can help.

This client received my innovative version of EMDR, Target 2 Zero.

Target 2 Zero is incredibly effective – it clears trauma far quicker than traditional EMDR. Consider the Rapid Stress Reduction Training for your team or organization or the upcoming training if you are a mental health professional. https://target2zero.com/
