Life Coaching using the Human Givens
HUMAN GIVENS is a different way to look at your self and the world. From this, enduring beneficial change can be quickly achieved.
- AUDITING NEEDS....................How well are you meeting your essential emotional needs? What are the areas of your life on which to focus? And learn how to distinguish between needs and wants.
- EVALUATING RESOURCES …............... Are your essential emotional templates working effectively? Are there past patterns of emotional response that are damaging or debilitating? Can you effectively monitor your self talk? How do you manage stress?
- SETTING GOALS …........................ We will agree achievable and focused goals that will use your resources to better meet your needs. This will be empowering and set new patterns for enhancing your potential for happiness and well being.
- REHEARSAL & ACTIVATION ….. New patterns, feelings and thoughts will be rehearsed using a variety of proven and up-to-date methods. These include tasks, visualisations, reframes of unhelpful thinking and the imaginative use of metaphors and stories.
GOOD ENOUGH TO EAT
Expectations, based on the pleasant memories or (more accurately) the pattern matches of past pleasures, drive dopomine to the decision centres of the brain. Can you sense this happening to you as you look at this picture? The dopomine can be hard to resist, which is why we eat and drink and smoke when we know it will not be good for us in the longer term.
But dominant patterns can be replaced - in as little as a few weeks. The dopomine surge is temporary - and just a chemical (no different from that dollop of cream).
