Virtually all methods merely temporarily blocked memory retrieval and did not resolve the problem permanently. The best treatment, other than the long process of psychotherapy, was the virtual reality programs that facilitated retrieval and reframing of the traumatic memory.

I imagine this would include the construction of an emotional cushion/buffer zone that would allow the traumatized individual a safe emotional place in which to observe and re-evaluate the retrieved traumatic memory/memories.

That is the first part of a good virtual reality program.
