What to Expect
After an initial short phone or e-mail consultation we schedule an in-person (or via Skype) assessment session. But before the assessment session I send you a simple intake form to fill out and send me back by e-mail or post mail. Or, if you prefer, we fill it out together during the assessment session. However, when I have it before the assessment session it saves us a lot of time.
The assessment session is free of charge. During that session we have a chance to get to know each other. Then I gather information about the issue and your conscious and unconscious reactions to it. Finally, I use couple of techniques to find out if I can help you or not. The assessment also highlights how many sessions you would need. If I can help you, I describe how the process goes, how many sessions it might take and what is your investment. Then you receive answers on all your questions and make a decision.
We start with understanding what you want. Generally, fear is there to protect us, but when it is too intense we cannot get the message. I explain, teach and then guide you through simple, easy to do and fast working techniques to reduce the intensity of the fear to a manageable level. Then we find out and maintain positive intentions of fear. Despite its extreme unpleasantness, often fear has some very important informative or protective function. Mostly it is variation of protecting you from something or warning about something. In general, most of the time, any feeling, emotion and behavior have a positive intention and do something positive for us.
Then I guide you through a special set of technique designed to help recoding your body/mind in a way that you react to the same trigger that used to make you feel fearful, differently, in a way you want. For example you might want to react calmly but being alert, with confidence and strength to deal with a situation. In a very safe manner we repeat the techniques couple of times and you are free!
It takes mostly one or two sessions and you are free of fears for the rest of your life. Moreover, you are equipped with techniques and strategies to confidently dealing with a similar challenge in your life.
The same techniques you can learn when you take individual classes or workshops. The only difference is that individual sessions are uniquely targeting your issue and it takes less time to achieve results.
