Improvement Processes, Methods and Approaches

As I both studied scientific advances and became proficient in a good range of improvement processes, methods, and approaches over the years, I began my performance and realization applications of neuro-dynamic self strength work interweaving processes, methods and approaches.

Our work uses and even increases the strength of your self to facilitate your success

Here is a list of the main approaches and methods I draw upon:

Interpersonal neuro-affective methods – methods which incorporate understanding of brain functioning as it is involved in people interactions, attachment, emotions and motivations, such as work by A Schore, D Siegel, AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy)- Fosha, and applications of Panksepp’s work.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
DNMS (Development Needs Meeting Strategy) - DNMS is an ego state psychotherapy approach combining components from many other methods: EMDR, guided imagery, body methods, and self psychotherapies. A longer term use of DNMS systematically identifies & fixes childhood and attachment needs & wounds. Briefer uses of DNMS can clear interferences with present performance and realization. www.dnmsinstitute.com
Body- focused processes include therapies that work to reset and de-condition the mind-body’s automatic nervous system stress, trauma, emotion, and body action responses, posture, healing touch, etc. Additional examples include SE (Somatic Experiencing), SMP (Sensorimotor Psychotherapy), Thought Field Therapy (now expanded and called AIT, Advanced Integrative Therapy)
Self and Attachment Foundational Therapies - The freeing processes and self-healing embedded in longer-term psychodynamic methods can be greatly sped up by intermingling them with the more active and interpersonal change technology of other methods. Specific foundational therapies include:
Psychodynamic and self psychology approaches, such as the Masterson understanding of self-in-attachment or personality disorders
Humanistic Existential such as Gestalt and Client Centered
Applications of Bowlby’s work on attachment, separation, and loss (M. Main, A. Steele)
Hypnosis of various kinds, such as guided journeying for positive and resources or for mastering for a particular current problem, substance abuse, or unhealed trauma.
Other Ego State and Self Therapies, such as Internal Family Systems. Ego State Therapies examine and address the internal dynamics of the parts of self experienced as having a point of view of their own. Some of these are involved in unhealthy or unproductive behaviors like self-sabotage, inner conflict, or avoidance.
