Here’s what directed, structured and results-driven therapy looks like:
Session 1
The Intake
Here we’ll get to know as much of you as humanly possible in 50 minutes. We’ll ask you questions about various aspects of your life, from sleep hygiene to your childhood, to gain a better understanding of your history, symptoms, and goals. We’ll identify your global ‘limiting beliefs’ (the stuff that’s at the root of your concerns; e.g. “I am not good enough”) and develop a treatment plan for your counselling services.
Sessions 2 and 3
Identification of Limiting Beliefs
We’ll take a deep dive into your limiting beliefs and create an inventory. We’ll also determine your ‘dysfunctional needs™’ that arise in response to a specific limiting belief (e.g., striving for perfection). Together, we’ll evaluate which limiting belief to tackle first.
Sessions 4 and Beyond
Reconditioning
Here, we’ll use Reconditioning and evidence-based techniques to establish new perspectives to reprocess traumatic events and memories that are linked to limiting beliefs. We recondition the responses of the “walnut brain” (pre-evolutionary brain) using psychological techniques similar to classical conditioning. This removes any emotional association with the memory, thereby removing the limiting belief. It sounds crazy, but trust us, it works.
It’s goal-oriented and results-driven.
- You know what you’re getting, and how you’re getting it.
- Your therapist will guide; you shouldn’t have to direct your own therapy.
- We’ll help you figure out where to start, because sometimes you just don’t know.
- You decide how many sessions you want. This depends on how ‘fit’ you want to be.
- It’s goal-oriented and results-driven. This means we get stuff done.
