This is a stand-alone theoretical article. It is not a protocol, a research proposal, or supplementary material to another manuscript. Conventional psychotherapeutic treatments often face limitations in cases of chronic suffering that persists despite the client's verbal understanding and reflective insight. In this article, I present Implicit Reintegration Therapy (TRI) as a brief, focal approach grounded in affective neuroscience, predictive processing, and nondeclarative memory. The central thesis holds that psychological suffering that does not stem from direct material deprivation is organized as affective shear between adaptive processes oriented toward individual survival and the preservation of social bonds. By conceiving of the body as the primary stage of this tension and of representational systems as matrices of automated response patterns, the model intervenes directly on somatosensory responses active in the present, dispensing with the retrospective reconstruction of childhood. The intervention uses mediated interoceptive confrontation and relational triangulation to promote desensitization of the aversive response and enable reeducation in everyday life. The model is formalized in three clinical hypotheses with explicit criteria for empirical refutation, which establishes the basis for controlled, independent investigation. The article closes with a prospective research agenda, which describes designs that other groups could adopt and does not constitute a study protocol.
