The Talking2Minds Paradigm Change Programme™ is central to the way in which we assist people in changing their lives when they are affected by a severe stress related condition or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Paradigm Therapy™ is used as a way of allowing people to alter the way they think and behave and allow them to make the necessary changes to regain control of their lives and manage their futures more effectively.
Our unique approach works directly with the cognitive function of the autobiographical memories within the spectrum of severe stress related conditions.
Dennis Carlon ”As an independent psychologist, I have researched every therapy going, and my conclusion is that the T2M therapy is the only one that works if you let it, give these guys support.
Studies show that a very large proportion (some 93%) of our communication is non-verbal. The Talking2Minds process provides the basis for radically improving our communications, both verbal and non-verbal. This is one of the fundamental building blocks in giving you the tools to manage and lose the symptoms of severe stress related conditions and PTSD; the ability to communicate and understand the meaning of our communication and feelings.
The Talking2Minds process is a system that utilises the experiences of an individual; of how memories, thought patterns, actions and feelings work together to produce an individual’s unique experience and model of the world. Once this understanding has been elicited, the process of addressing the fundamental causes of PTSD can begin.
Our process describes how each of us codes our own experiences. Once we understand the specific ways our brains make distinctions, it is easier to make changes, to learn and to communicate effectively.
Our process takes full account of the fact that everyone is unique.
Talking2Minds was established by people who have experienced a severe stress related condition or PTSD who have used the Talking2Minds process to undeniably re gained control of their lives.
Our process is drawn from an amalgam of approaches that are NOT trauma focussed and follows the guidelines of recognised procedures that are all tried and tested in order to ensure that the root cause is addressed along with the symptoms. All of Talking2Minds procedures follow the BPS strict Codes of Ethics. We have externally validated statistics based around our processes that assist us to remain results focused and maintain the effectiveness of ourapproach.
Our process is delivered to individuals that suffer from severe stress related conditions as well as partners and family members that are affected by proxy (where applicable). Talking2Minds offers a purpose built therapeutic approach that reflects the various levels of disturbance experienced by the sufferer.
Step one: All delegates either contact Talking2Minds directly or are referred via bodies or organisations. We are experiencing a growing number of veterans who are finding their way to us having been refused treatments by other organisations. Medical referral is not essential and we assist those that are on prescribed medication or who are self medicating.
Step two: The delegate is assessed by a Talking2Minds practitioner on the telephone or on a home visit and a treatment plan is agreed between the delegate and practitioner.
Step three: Treatment commences. For highly traumatised delegates or delegates with low self esteem the Talking2Minds approach will flex to allow the delegate to be gently lead into the Paradigm Change Programme™. This can be carried out in person or via internet or telephone. This is then followed by a Talking2Minds 4 day Therapeutic Education and Paradigm Change Programme™.
Step four: Palliative support and advice is given to delegates post treatment as applicable. For those delegates that wish to return to work, Talking2Minds offer access to health and welfare liaison between the delegate and their employer.
Step five: Based on our experience, a proportion of delegates go on to train and become Talking2Minds practitioners themselves. This then instigates the training cycle.
For children that suffer either a severe stress related condition including PTSD or PTSD by proxy, it may be necessary to organise external assistance from our Talking2Minds accredited associated organisations that specialise in children with severe stress trauma with the use of the Talking2Minds process and where appropriate an adventure training approach.
Our experiences prove that a delagate’s symptoms invariably affect their families as well and this is recognised as being affected by proxy. If you would like to speak directly to our practitioners or if you need any further information on any aspect of our work, please get in touch.
