Sam’s Therapeutic Toolbox!

Behavioural & Cognitive Coaching (CBC).

CBC is a powerful coaching tool for change. The principle is: what we think about a situation, affects how we feel about it.

Therefore it is not the situation/event that causes the unpleasantness, but our belief about a situation/event.

By focusing on and isolating the negative thoughts and beliefs surrounding events, it becomes possible to create alternative behaviours and viewpoints and ultimately alter our negative beliefs surrounding the event. It can be used to help a wide range of issues including procrastination, impatience, self-confidence and assertiveness.

For example: CBC can be used for performance anxiety (speaking in public).

If an individual believes that there will be a bad outcome when they speak in front of a crowd, then they will avoid it.

In this case, one would have to address the belief system surrounding the individuals perception of public speaking through discussion.

When the cause is identified, alternative views and behaviours can be proposed.

By doing this, their belief system on the subject can be replaced by new healthier beliefs, which, in theory, will enable the individual to try public speaking, and over time become more confident in it.

 

Hypnotherapy.

Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state that we experience daily: just before we are falling asleep or awaking in the morning, while getting lost in a good book or TV show. It is NOT magic or a way of controlling your mind.

In essence Hypnosis is meditation with a goal!, e.g. to change a habit or a belief. Hypno-therapy is an effective way of communicating with your subconscious mind.

 

Past life regression therapy.

Past life regression (PLR) is a combination of guided meditation and hypnosis and is based on the theory of reincarnation. It is important to remember that Past life regression therapy is not the same as a psychic reading.

Reincarnation is the belief that a person’s soul rebirths repeatedly, to enable the soul to evolve and grow.

It is believed that when we are born, we have full recollection of all previous lifetimes, but as we grow up, we get spiritual amnesia, and forget! These memories of previous incarnations are stored in the subconscious mind and can be awakened with the practice of PLR.

The purpose of PLR is not to judge the actions of ourselves/or others in a previous lifetime. Our soul is evolving and growing with each lifetime, and therefore it is for us to witness the event, to learn the lesson, forgive, and let go, so we can experience freedom and healing in this lifetime.

It is not the event that affects us but what our memory of the event is, and what unexpressed feelings we have stored within, as these reactions and feelings can seep into the present-day memory (stored in the subconscious mind).

NB: It’s important to know that you do not have to believe in reincarnation for PLR to work - you just need to be open to the process.

 

Intuitive Guidance.

An intuitive life mentor/coach can help you create your dream career, find your soulmate, and attract abundance into your life; the same as traditional life coaches, other than they may guide you in a different way.

Their treatment approach will be holistic, and will incorporate your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual selves in the process.

Rather than just focusing on goal-setting, mindset and habits, they may also integrate energy psychology, teaching and encouraging you to connect to your intuition for guidance, and becoming more self-aware in the process.
