Introduction to Change Switches

A model that includes all levels and elements that contribute to determining a specific mental, emotional, health or learning states. We start at micro-level (cells, epigenetics etc.) and then move on to physical adaptation models (inflammation, allostatic load, neural plasticity etc.) right up to non-conscious development and adaptation dynamics (ancestral needs, social hierarchies etc.) through to more refined creative, interpersonal communication and postural flows. 

Analysis of Behavioural Flows and of Ancestral Needs

A method of analysing behaviour across multiple levels (communication, thought, posture, relationships, movement etc.) and of uncovering underlying needs and motivations. Useful to analyse and act on the connection between deeper motivations and behavioural, thought and relationship modes.

Integrative Functional Patterns

Intervene on all specific systems at the core of: behaviour, emotional reactions, stress, decisions and interpersonal relationships. Key to analyse all elements at play. Very effective in helping the patient or client gain clarity and regain control of adaptation, defensive and motivational processes.

Brain Networks

Practical applications of the latest advances in brain science, to better understand and face Stress, Adaptation, Emotions and Traumatic Events. A training module for those that love to understand the neurobiological processes at the heart of emotions, behaviour and thoughts. It can be used to explain dysfunctional processes at the heart of problem behaviour or of disease, to identify specific dysfunctions for intervention, or it can be a bridge between other theories and neuro-based models. 

Isometric Emotions

A set of techniques to restore physiology and effective functions of the adaptation mechanisms (fight, flight, freeze, pain, allostatic load, and more). Enables the recovery of physiological state on emotional-physical blockages, without necessarily investigating the traumatic memory (but if the skills and will are there, it can support targeted psychotherapy techniques by adding a relevant physical and experiential element).

Crossed-Cycles Breathing

The breathing technique that acts on all levels to: regulate stress responses, restore well-being and physiology to mind and body, develop self-control in every situation. Acts in a targeted way on breathing flow dysfunctions connected to excessive stress, chronic emotional states, hyper- or hypo- activation and traumatic events.

Interpersonal Accommodation

Relational techniques to recover and develop resistance to interpersonal stress, and a basic sense of security in relational dynamics. Enables integration and recovery of physiology and naturalness in response to psycho-physical reactions that were not fully developed because of emotional deprivation, lack of social experiences, implicit learning or traumatic events.

Emotion & Behaviour Modulation: with post-its

How to regulate Emotional Responses and activate appropriate Behaviour. Through a practical and interactive method (and post-its!). Interactive technique where visual representation in post-its helps awareness, expression and change in emotional response repertoire.

Key Role of Nutrition

Understanding and managing the relationship between nutrition, behaviour, emotions, and psychosomatic disorders. A course exploring the modern and provenly effective scientific bases of nutrition and metabolism with a 360 degree impact on health, well-being, immune system, mood, physical and mental energy.

Course modules: 
1. Nutrition and Inflammation
2. How Nutrition Affects Health
3. Ketogenic lifestyle and intermittent fasting

Brain-informed Tasting & Cooking

Developing a greater understanding of flavours and perceptions allows intervention on different primary and fundamental levels. In this course we learn to taste, select and prepare food in an ideal way while also acting on: primal survival and adaptation reflexes; managing what is toxic, both literally and metaphorically; neurobiological circuits shared by tasting, adaptation and evolution processes; connections between food-sensations-feelings-hormones; food, motivation and energy; how to cook and savour foods with a view to personal development: social elements in eating.

Mind and Body Detox

Discover the role of food and environmental toxins that alter our mind and body’s healthy balance in an invisible but significant way.
Learn to identify and avoid them and how to eliminate those that are already in the body through nutrition, integration, healthy habits and lifestyles.
How to act on the LIVER, INTESTINE and SURRENAL Glands to purify the body. The "TOXIC" foods and substances that promote inflammation and intoxicate the body. The foods that promote the body's purifying process. The supplements that support purification. Lots of practical tips to lower stress and promote detoxification

Integrative Mindfulness 

The beauty of mindfulness enriched and broadened through Integrative Sciences. A series of techniques, exercises and practical suggestions that are applicable in different contexts for your well-being, to recover energy, to release tension or to bring focus back to where it really is required. The techniques and all their variations have been studied and developed over time to help people be present, live experiences fully, bringing thought flows, physical flows, external and internal sensations and emotions, stress responses, the most primitive relational dynamics as well as the most evolved ones back into harmony and physiological state.

The Microbiome's power over the mind

How to manage mood, emotions and stress responses via gut microbiome moderation.
What to eat, what to avoid, key probiotics, targeted supplements and lots of practical suggestions to rebalance the gut and reduce anxiety, stress, depression and dysfunctional behaviour.
- Discover which foods help reduce inflammation and restore gut bacterial flor.
- Understand the probiotic families that regulate the gut microbiome.
- Discover how intestinal health influences thoughts, emotions, mood and behaviour - and vice versa.

Mouth, Anger and Stress

The “Mouth, Anger and Stress” psychosomatic release technique is developed and studied to:
Give immediate relief to pain and psychosomatic tension in the area of the mouth, temples and neck; Release accumulated tension or dysfunctionally blocked emotions in this delicate area; Gain practical tools to intervene on an area that is often overlooked by other techniques and theories, but that is key to our emotional life; Free up physical and emotional tensions in these areas, unblock certain connections (anatomically, at neurobiological and emotional level) with areas such as the diaphragm, cervical and lower back area, so as to achieve more impactful results on psychosomatic issues in these parts of the body too.

Ideographic Thinking

Thinking, Images and Mental Representations work together to analyze, change, decide and develop new ideas. Much more than mental maps, diagrams, sketch-notes, etc. But a complete and vast series of instruments to visually represent thought that can be declined and applied in many ways: in analysis and problem solving, as a tool to favour cooperation between patient and therapist or mentor-mentee, development of systemic thinking, study and efficient note taking, cooperation in groups in complex projects etc.

The Mind O' Clock technique

Train your THOUGHTS to be flexible and efficient in any situation! An alternative strategy for thought regulation to the more well-known ones: it is not focused on content or acceptance, but on managing flows and therefore on bringing them back under control, focusing attention, making space for creativity and divergence, accepting incongruence and reintegrating it constructively, etc.

RePro

Optimised Memory Editing and Memory Reconsolidation Tolls and Processes.
A new App and set of Tools to intervene on subconscious processes, emotional memories, automatic schemas, and implicit memories. A single method, different strategies and an app focused on the processes and strategies that are most efficient in favouring change processes for memories of all kinds.

Modular Breakdown

A practical method to help people analyse situations and complex feelings in different contexts: analysing a problem, managing physical pain, listening to sensations etc.

The Talking Mind Method

A collection of communication schemas that are useful to help understand how thought can be made more flexible, how not to rise to provocation, to remain constructive and not fall into manipulation and power game traps.

The Change Cycle

A modern revisiting of a classic of change with practical tips to overcome dysfunctional habits (compulsive eating, smoking etc) and establish healthier ones (sport etc.)
