Yeah, I noticed the resemblance too. For some reason I never found PTR intuitive to work with, though, despite trying it several times.
I think one difference is that most versions of timeline reimprinting that I’ve heard imply that you’re supposed to go through your entire life in chronological order, but I can’t just tell my brain to “retrieve all of my memories from age 8”, so I mostly end up with some memories that feel most prototypically associated with specific ages but aren’t necessarily very relevant for that core state. Whereas here I don’t have any particular expectation of getting it all on one go or in a linear order, I just sit down and work with whatever memories come up on that particular sit.
Also I think I never really properly got how the whole “imagine what your parent would have been like with this core state” bit was supposed to make things feel different.
