Henry Whitfield is the host of the Melting pot. Henry spoke Goal setting and Self-actualisation.
he started the talk with 3 quotes by the renowned psychologists/therapists Maslow and Rowan: Self-actualised people Maslow (1987): " ...A superior awareness of their own desires" - Maslow, henry explained has 16 points to characterise the sel-actalized person. "They ususally have some mission in life". Rowan (2005): "I create my world, ... it makes sense to take responsibility to the limit." "No gap between intentions and actions" ( responsibility as the opposite of blame). This Presentations is directly relatiod to the Schema coaching. Schema is a combination of various techniques to facilitate a person towards self-actualisation. It is designed to inspire and motivate the person for action in real life. The main tool is drawing a schema of all domains of responsibility. In his presentation Henry asked the audience to pick a real person and asked the audience to build his schema for him. It was decided on Paul McCartney. The idea of Schema is to picture in great detail all elements of our physical-material world and non-physical - mental, spiritual world on 6 levels or shperes of influence, responsibility in which we interact with the world: Self, Intimates, Groups, Humankind, All life and the Infinite. Self level of responsibility Intimate level of responsibility - relationships with closest individuals - family, partner, children, subllings, sometimes even a pet etc. Groups level of responsibility - relationships with work colleagues, membership clubs, sport teams etc. The Second stage of the Schema work is to build a specific (work, relationship, project, finance etc.) or general (on life) schema.That involves working out the current situation and the ideal situation - where, what or how the person is now and where, what or how the personwants to be. After that the facilitator would ask for the Goals and Subgoals, about the Products they will have to acquire or produce, the policies and Modus operandi and finally about the porgrammes - the To-Do-List.Humankind level of responsibility - All human beings. All life level of responsibility - nature, pets Infinite level of responsibility - universe, planets or religion, spiritual believes. And interesting insight came after Henry was explaining about the shpheres of influence = the levels of responsibility where the self is the nucleus.

The presentation was fascinating because of the interesting conjuction of approaches Nicola Martin uses - TIR and Hypnosis. Nicola has made the effort to provide us with several useful references and interesting arguments. You can read the presentation summary - more detailed article will follow in one of the next posts. more »

Mindfulness,
TIR and Life Stress Reduction (LSR)
in the What
is Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR)? Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR), in its basic form, is a
mindfulness-based exposure method for
enabling clients to assimilate and accommodate their past traumatic
experiences. This is learnt through the practice of repetitive exercises that
train the client to better focus his/her attention on mental pictures and other
mental phenomena.
The broader subject of TIR-LSR (Life Stress
Reduction)
can be described as a systematic approach for enabling detached, non-judgmental
(mindful) observation of almost any inner or outer world event, whether
cognitive, emotive, physiological, behavioural or other. Tools are highly varied
and adjustable in order to: maintain congruence with the client’s own
experience, to maximise client engagement with the therapeutic process, and to
be appropriate to the client’s mental resources. The approach also consists of various
effective strategies for unblocking barriers to awareness the client was
previously unable to access.
These tools are all applied within a methodology for
enhancing the client's mental (or attentional) focus with in a one-to-one
counselling setting. This attentional training enables the client to achieve
greater equanimity* with respect to his/her mental environment.
Controlled comparative studies with other
methods for resolving PTSD have demonstrated TIR and its related techniques to
be consistently effective at resolving PTSD symptomatology and other effects of
traumatic stress.

![Text Box: “Since I did the TIR session on the training day [Introductory one day workshop] I can no longer feel the pain previously contained in that memory. It really has gone permanently. I think there is a lot of new age nonsense out there but TIR really does deliver. Thank you for enlightening us.”
Jeanette Lockethomson Co-ordinator, Victim Support Sutton
“I have only been using TIR for a relatively short time and in 21 years of practice; never before have my clients had such reliable successes in resolving many kinds of presenting problems. I have had sessions of TIR myself as a client and had dramatic personal results, even though up to now I have considered that therapies don't seem to work on me. TIR comprises simple elegant techniques which empower clients to accomplish the changes they want, facilitated by their own innate resources and natural leaning towards self fulfillment. I only wish I had found TIR many years ago."
