Changing the way we think about “Therapy”

In the past couple of decades there have been far-reaching advances in behavioural change techniques. And what people used to call ‘therapy’ has broadened to encompass the widest range of performance improvement methodologies.

Gone are the days when someone would spend session after session digging around in your past or getting you to bare your soul.

Instead, modern tools and techniques like Ericksonian Hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Design Human Engineering (DHE), and Life Coaching are far more concerned with helping you change the process of your thinking rather than the dealing with the content of your thoughts.

And the emphasis has gone right away from “fixing broken people” (nobody was ever really broken), to helping you nurture and develop your natural, innate personality and your own special skills and talents.

Now the focus is on redirecting the energies you used to spend on all those unwanted thoughts and behaviours, and re-channelling them into far more productive pursuits – things like rediscovering and enhancing your natural wit and humour, your creativity and imagination, your curiosity and sense of adventure, and above all, your cheerfulness.

What’s best is that most of the techniques work while you sleep, when your unconscious mind takes on new behaviours and embeds throughout your thinking patterns.

And really, isn’t this the best way to make behavioural changes – when you don’t even need to think about them?
