We’re changing the way therapy is done to help people lead happier, healthier, more productive lives.
Have you ever wondered why you can’t get out of your own way at times? ShiftGrit’s Pattern Theory clearly explains The Why and where it came from. And while awareness is the first goal of our therapy, we don’t stop there. We use a carefully curated protocol, informed by classical conditioning, exposure and desensitization, attachment theory and neuro-psychology, to pull out the root of emotions, behaviours and thoughts that block people from achieving the life they want. Our theory and protocol have helped thousands of our clients make their life one filled with purpose, joy and balance.
What does our therapy program look like?
ShiftGrit offers a very structured and carefully tuned approach to therapy, which is delivered by our specially trained clinicians. You won’t get a “so what do you want to talk about today?” question from our team because they come armed with a wicked game plan and walk you through it- right into a better life.
In our first session, we investigate what is going on for you, identify patterns and look into their origins. We do this by taking a quick inventory of all parts of your life- from the way you sleep to your relationship history. You don’t have to come prepared- our therapists do all the investigating and will share their insights with you.
In sessions two and three, we teach you thinking mind ShiftGrit’s Pattern Theory so you are aware of what is causing your emotional reactions, behaviors and thoughts. This way, you are kept in the loop in therapy and have a better understanding of other people too.
In sessions four and beyond, we move from working with your conscious, thinking mind to our unique approach which actually retrains your walnut brain- the subconscious part of your brain. This is so that new, automatic responses can be created meaning that you won’t have to remember a host of strategies or techniques- the original response will just be gone.
The end result: With the new responses firmly rooted, and the old blocks out of the way, our clients see an absence of poor emotional responses, increased goal achievement behaviors and their unproductive thoughts are replaced by purposeful and helpful ones. Your “thinking brain”, the driver of motivation, wants, priorities and values, is back in control and can steer you into the life you truly want. It’s game changing therapy at its finest.
