The Method that helps YOU

When people ask "Which methods do you use?" my answers is "The one that helps you"

I have added some of them below, and since every person is different, most of the time I use many different methods and skills to design the approach that helps you.

You get a unique solution, adjusted specifically to YOU.

Hypnosis

The type of Hypnosis I apply is HWT, Hypnosis without Trance, and it is designed to give YOU control over your own body and Mind

NLP

I am a NLP Meta Master Practioners. This takes NLP to a level of intuitive mastery and is only taught very rarely.

I had the pleasure to participate in this training by the Co-Founder of NLP Richard Bandler and John LaValle In Austin, Texas in 1998 and have been expanding on it ever since.

NHR

Neuro-Hypnotic Repatterning (NHR), developed by Dr. Richard Bandler, is an advanced therapeutic method blending NLP, neuroscience, and hypnosis to rapidly transform negative thought patterns into positive, empowering states.

It focuses on altering experiences at a neurological and chemical level by using bodily sensations to "saturate" the nervous system with feel-good chemicals. NHR focuses on creating immediate change, reducing stress, and improving emotional resilience.

SCIENCE:
The predicting brain

The brain is a prediction engine. This is what the very best science now understands and this is in fact a revolution, because it simplifies how to create better results for people.

Main scientists: Karl Friston, Anil Seth, Lisa Feldmann Barret, Jakob Hohwy, David Eaglem

SCIENCE:
The extended Mind

In order to function in a complex world, the human brain "off loads" much of our thinking to the space around us.
Like writing ideas in a smartphone, or on paper, we use the space around us to place our ideas, thinking and even our fears.

Main scientists: Andy Clarke, David Chalmers

FRAMEWORK
Changing lives

Realizing that we live 'changing lives' gives respect to the fact that our lives are in fact, changing.
The lives our brains evolved to master is no longer the reality we experience. In order to solve that we need solutions that can be updated to handle the new reality of our changing lives.

This framwork is created by me, Leif Rasmussen and keeps evolving

Science and psychology

Personal freedom through science

A look at same old beliefs through the lens of real neuroscience:

Women are more emotional than men?
Research by Neuroscientist and University Distinguished Professor of psychology Feldman Barrett shows that emotions are not biologically hardwired but constructed from a variety of sources, including individual experiences and social contexts, meaning some people are more emotional in some situations and less in others, independent of gender. (Barrett, 2017 - How emotions are made).
That is just the way I am?
Human behavior varies based on circumstances, mood, physiological states, and external influences, as highlighted by research in behavioral variability. (Boyce & Parker, 2021 – Scientific American)

All Men are the same?
Individuality in brain structure and neurochemistry means everyone has unique thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Same for women of course (University of Zürich, 2018)
A facial expression means the same for everyone?
Feldman Barrett's work on emotion shows that facial expressions do not universally convey the same emotions across different cultures and individuals. (Barrett, 2017 – How Emotions Are Made)
Change is difficult, change is painful?
Neuroplasticity research by David Eagleman and others demonstrates that the brain can adapt and change throughout life, making transformation not just possible, but easy and it is neceassary for optimal living and recovery (Eagleman, 2015 – The Brain: The Story of You)

A technical explanation of my work

Step 1: Precision Targeting with the Predicting Brain Framework:

Mapping Predictions: Mastering the ability to understand and map out how your brain predicts and responds to specific stimuli and situations.
Identifying Patterns: Recognizing patterns of maladaptive predictions that contribute to unwanted reactions.

Step 2: Identifying Key Memories:

Memory Recall Techniques: Developing techniques to recall and identify specific memories that are linked to maladaptive predictions and unwanted behaviors.
Targeted Identification: Focusing on the exact memories that contribute to these behaviors for more effective intervention.

Step 3: Modifying Memory Responses:

Adaptive Memory Techniques: Learning methods to reprocess and modify the identified memories, changing the emotional and cognitive responses associated with them.
Currently the most promising approach is Memory reconsilidation. Recently shown to be "..superior to control" this approach is improved when embedded in the Memory Effect Optimizations M.E.O. frame.
Reinforcing Positive Predictions: Using insights from the predicting brain framework to reinforce new, adaptive predictions and responses.

Step 4: Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustment:

Continuous Assessment: Regularly assessing changes in behavior and emotional responses, and adjusting techniques as needed.
Dynamic Adjustments: Continuously refining the approach based on ongoing self-assessments to ensure that interventions remain effective and tailored to individual needs.

Changing lives for the better

By mastering these skills, we can optimize other peoples wellbeing, relationships, career and more and deepen their understanding of the human brain's complexity.

This approach makes change fast, easy, and well-adapted to the unique needs of each person, fostering personal growth and resilience.
