TIME LINE THERAPY

Being one of my absolute favourite things to do with my clients, Time Line Therapy is a powerful process for personal change and growth. It helps you to release negative emotions of anger, sadness, fear, hurt and guilt attached to memories or events in the past, by focussing on what you can learn from those experiences. TLT also enables you to clear negative or limiting beliefs (such as 'I don't deserve love' or 'I am not good enough') that can leave you stuck in the past and stop you from creating what you want in your life.

It is like a detox for the mind!

Time Line Therapy™ (TLT) is a powerful therapeutic process that has evolved from hypnosis and NLP, developed by Tad James, PhD in the 1980s. TLT provides one of the most powerful processes and techniques for personal change and growth by facilitating the elimination of the painful emotions attached to memories or events in the past. TLT also focuses on what we can learn from those events and use what we learn as a resource for the future. TLT techniques and practical processes can produce long-lasting transformation much quicker, with a minimum of discomfort to the client. It focusses on clearing the negative emotions include anger, sadness, fear, hurt, and guilt. TLT also enables you to clear limiting beliefs that can leave you stuck in the past and stop you from creating what you want in your life. Both unwanted negative emotions and limiting beliefs influence every area of our lives. 

 

How can Time Line Therapy™ help me?

One of the many advantages of TLT is that it enables you to release and clear gestalts or (chains) of an emotion rather than one at a time as most other emotional release techniques do. For example, if you have anger issues, TLT facilitates the releasing and clearing of all anger from the past and not just the anger attached to a particular event. In other words, anger is released from its roots.

I believe that this is one of the main reasons why you're able to get the result you want so quickly and experience lasting results. Some people get confused that the memories of painful events are cleared. It is only the negative emotions attached to the memories that are cleared in TLT. Memories are our history and it is not ecological or appropriate to clear them. 

 

Some examples of limiting beliefs are: “I don’t deserve it”, or “I am not good enough”. Many clients with emotional issues get the result they want in or around four hours, rather than months and years.

Where more complex conditions such as PTSD, trauma or physiological conditions are also involved, it may take a while longer. One of the main advantages of Time Line Therapy™ is that instead of talking about the problem week after week you get to do something about it. TLT is usually used in conjunction with clinical hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and together they provide a powerful therapeutic model.

 

Why is it important to release negative emotions attached to the past?

Mind-body medicine and PNI (psychoneuroimmunology) studies explain the effects of unresolved negative emotions and how they affect physical health and can lead to the development of symptoms and illness in the physical body. Also, the point of how we perceive stress and respond to it is influenced by unresolved emotional issues and can also influence the intensity of the stressful experience.

Many people find relaxation, meditation and yoga useful to deal with stress and often feel better for it in the short term. Clients who practise them tell me, that the unresolved painful emotions tend to counteract the benefits in the long term.

What can it help with?

Time Line Therapy™ is most effective with anxiety and stress-based conditions such as exam nerves, performance anxiety, panic, phobia, trauma and PTSD as well as depression. It can also help to increase your self esteem and trust in yourself.
