Time Line Therapy

What is Time Line Therapy

Time Line Therapy™ (TLT) is a powerful therapeutic process that has evolved from hypnosis and NLP and was developed by Tad James, PhD, in the 1980s. It was developed by applying a therapeutic process to the concept that we store our memories in a linear manner in an internal memory storage system.

TLT provides one of the most powerful processes and techniques for personal change and growth by facilitating the elimination of negative or painful emotions and limiting decisions that are attached to memories or events in the past. TLT allows us to learn from those events, so if we need them in the future, they will be there.

Time Line Therapy™ techniques and practical processes produce long-lasting transformation much quicker than other techniques, with a minimum of discomfort to the client.

Some examples of negative emotions include anger, rage, sadness, hurt, regret, fear, guilt, and shame.

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 the root cause 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 release and clearing of all anger from the past, not just the anger attached to a particular event. In other words, anger is released from its roots. This is a closed content process, so you do not need to disclose the events or people involved. Timeline therapy works with any model of the world.

I observe 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.

TLT is invaluable in resolving negative emotional issues from the past and clearing limiting beliefs and decisions that may have prevented you from moving forward, as well as achieving your goals for the future.

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 six 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 neurolinguistic programming (NLP), and together they provide a powerful therapeutic model.

It's important to note that TLT should not be confused with what is called Time Line, which is also a technique based on NLP and is very different from TLT.

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, which 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. Combine Time Line Therapy with these relaxation techniques to experience the release of unresolved painful emotions that would otherwise counteract the benefits of stress reduction in the long term.

Clearing the negative emotions and limiting decisions from the past is likely to significantly enhance the practice of these techniques in maintaining mind-body health.

Time Line Therapy™ is most effective with anxiety and stress-based conditions such as exam nerves, performance anxiety, panic, phobia, trauma, PTSD, weight loss, quitting smoking sessions, and depression.

This is a process for which you are responsible for the changes you make in your life. I will work with you to assist in these transformative changes, by releasing the programs running in the background that are stopping you from achieving your optimum health and wellness.
