Seeing People as Innately Healthy
Recognizing individuals as inherently healthy can transform human interactions and outcomes significantly. This approach presents a fundamental shift in understanding mental distress, facilitating profound and immediate transformations in individuals' lives. By acknowledging the innate strength within people and drawing out their health rather than focusing solely on their pain and suffering, a new perspective emerges that leads to more positive and lasting changes.
Embracing Personal Growth and Change
Embracing personal growth involves a journey of self-discovery and evolving perspectives. Transitioning from traditional therapy practices to a new understanding requires openness to change and a willingness to explore different methods. Through insights and experiences, individuals can learn to let go of preconceived notions and adopt a more holistic approach to mental well-being, fostering positive transformations in themselves and their clients.
The Power of Natural Communication and Listening
Effective communication transcends techniques and theories, emphasizing the importance of genuine connection and deep listening. By communicating authentically and responding to individuals based on their state of mind and inner health, meaningful interactions and transformations occur. This approach focuses on understanding the innate wisdom within oneself and others, guiding individuals to trust their instincts and engage in open, heartfelt dialogues that nurture mental well-being and foster personal growth.
When people become curious about the Three Principles, they often think of our work as a tool to add to their tool kit. So sometimes it seems confusing when we make a point about not "mixing" the 3P with other approaches. The reason is that, although there are well-established approaches that do help people, the assumptions of other approaches are that people are affected by circumstances that have to be dealt with. We assume that people all have innate mental health as a birthright, even if they've lost touch with it, and our goal is to awaken it within them and guide them back to their innate wisdom, peace of mind, and contentment. Once they understand how their thinking creates their experience and see how to recognize their own common sense, they get insights about their life situations. We are not offering information and answers or methods to help them; we are eliciting and explaining their own ability to find clarity and recognize their power to see beyond any circumstances to the answers they need.
