Transform your Vicious Cycle into a Virtuous Cycle and become more resilient. Resilience can be defined as the capacity to prepare for, recover from and adapt in the face of stress, challenge or adversity.
Resilience could be compared to the amount of energy that one has stored in their inner-battery. This would be the energy that is available to use both mentally and emotionally.
Through our Five Pillar Program, one’s capacity to think clearly, remain calm, and manage emotional states is greatly enhanced. Over-reacting is minimised and one is able to maintain composure even in times of affliction, tribulation, and crisis.
The Five Pillars work together to create a virtuous cycle rather than spiralling into a vicious cycle.
These techniques are used by Google, Stanford Medicine, US Military and NASA to develop resilience.
Mental Health & Wellbeing Workshops can be taught to Organisations, Businesses or Privately with Individuals.
Any life event which causes significant physical and/or emotional injury and distress, in which the person powerfully experiences being overwhelmed, helpless, or trapped, can become a traumatic experience.
Using Brainspotting, people are able to process and reintegrate traumatic experiences non-directly, allowing the body to process the event/s on a subconscious level.
Brainspotting is a more advanced version of Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), and does not require you to bring up or discuss traumatic events for it to work. EMDR generally takes 10 sessions, whereas Brainspotting usually only takes 2 - 3 sessions to achieve the same results.
