Approaches to Therapy

Mental Emotional Release (MER)

Mental Emotional Release Therapy (MER), also known as Timeline Therapy, was created using an NLP approach and put into a particular process by Tad James, who was one of Tony Robbins early-day close NLP colleagues. Tad James' son, Dr. Matt James, further improved it, added additional coaching to the procedure, and gave it the new name MER.

MER helps us eliminate our past baggage and build a better future. You can construct a strong new foundation and get the optimism and freedom necessary to build the life you want by releasing trapped energy, emotions, beliefs, and behavioural patterns. One of the most profoundly uplifting experiences you will ever have is this process. You'll begin to create your life while feeling focused, elevated, driven, and in alignment with your mission with my assistance.

What can MER do?

  • All patients in the clinical trial group had a complete improvement in their symptoms, indicating the efficacy of Mental and Emotional Release® Therapy in treating depression.

  • It has been demonstrated that Mental Emotional Release improvements are long-lasting. With MER®, once the client has seen a major change, it is completed, unlike some other therapies that necessitate ongoing monitoring or medication to prevent relapse.

  • Most issues and symptoms, even those brought on by severe trauma or those that have been ingrained for years, can be resolved in just one or two sessions, or a total of 5 to 8 hours, rather than taking months or years of therapy.

How do I try it?

Breakthrough sessions that last 3–4 hours frequently involve MER. The majority of breakthrough sessions concentrate on a single aspect of life, such as health, a relationship, a profession, etc.

In some instances, a follow-up session a few days later is necessary to ensure that all the unfavourable feelings have been resolved and that any restrictions or undesirable habits have vanished. Depending on the outcome of their initial session, some people decide to do breakthroughs in each category on a monthly basis while others prefer to continue with NLP & Coaching and never require MER again.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

The goal of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), a popular and scientifically supported kind of psychotherapy, is to assist patients in recognising and altering harmful thinking patterns and behavioural patterns that fuel emotional and psychological suffering. It is predicated on the notion that our ideas, feelings, and behaviours are intertwined and that people may enhance their mental health and well-being by addressing and changing dysfunctional thinking patterns and behaviours.

CBT is effective for a wide range of psychological conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and many others. It gives people helpful resources to effectively manage their emotions, sharpen their problem-solving abilities, and cultivate a happier attitude on life.

What can CBT do?

  • Numerous psychological and emotional issues can be effectively addressed with cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT. Its main objective is to assist people in recognising and changing the harmful thought patterns and behaviours that fuel their distress.

  • CBT is widely used to treat anxiety disorders by assisting patients in identifying and addressing unreasonable concerns and anxious thought patterns. It's also a top depression treatment, helping patients reframe negative and self-critical thinking, which frequently lays at the root of depressing and hopeless sentiments.

  • Aside from treating psychological issues, CBT can be beneficial for improving self-esteem, managing stress, addressing relationship issues, and enhancing overall well-being. Its adaptability, evidence-based nature, and focus on active engagement make it a versatile and powerful approach for improving mental health and emotional resilience.

How do I try it?

A typical CBT session typically lasts for about 45 to 50 minutes. This standard session length is commonly used in many therapeutic settings. However, sessions can also vary depending on the therapist, the specific treatment plan, and the individual's needs.

Therapists may schedule CBT sessions on a weekly basis, particularly in the early phases of treatment, to offer regular support and progress tracking. Sessions may be reduced or spaced out as therapy goes on and the patient gains more proficiency with CBT techniques; this is decided case-by-case.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a modified kind of cognitive therapy which includes mindfulness techniques such breathing exercises, meditation, and present-moment awareness. This therapy was mainly formulated to address depression.

With the use of these techniques, the mindfulness-based therapist helps the patient overcome a challenging mindset before it has a chance to take hold. The client learns to live in the present now and to break free from unhelpful thought patterns that can lead to a descent into a mood disordered state.

What can MBCT do?

MBCT was created to help patients who were experiencing deep or recurrent periods of depression avoid relapsing. Patients with major depressive disorder who have gone through at least three depressive episodes have shown it to be successful. The following conditions may benefit from mindfulness-based relapse prevention:

How do I try it?

A therapist leads the weekly MBCT sessions, which are often held in a group setting. You will pick up meditation skills and a rudimentary understanding of cognition, including the connection between thought and emotion, in roughly eight sessions.

Additionally, you'll get the chance to discover more about your depression. There is homework, which involves practicing mindful meditation and breathing techniques, on the days when there isn't a class. It will be urged of you to include this awareness of the present now into your daily activities, such as cooking, eating, taking a shower, or going for a stroll.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a behavioral therapy focused on mindfulness that assists individuals in accepting and moving past unfavorable situations through an eclectic and humanistic approach.

ACT therapy acknowledges what is referred to as "abnormality" as a component of the human psyche and places a greater focus on change by acceptance than other schools of psychology that are based primarily on the idea of healthy normalcy.

What can ACT do?

When combined with other psychotherapies or utilized on its own, ACT is especially helpful for:

  • Individuals suffering from mood disorders such as depression or melancholy.

  • Those who have recently gone through a traumatic life event, such as getting divorced, losing their job, or becoming bankrupt.

  • People who lack confidence in themselves.

  • Professionals who want to change their perspective in order to be more productive at work.

How do I try it?

The basic principles of ACT counselling theory are allowing people to accept their imperfections and teaching them to develop past negative emotions.
