Introduction to Time-Line TherapyTM
Time-Line TherapyTM is a specific technique using the age-old concept that we store our life experiences linearly. The technique was developed and trade-marked by Tad James.
The Major Techniques
The major techniques in Time-Line TherapyTM are:
- Eliciting the Time Line
- Discovering the Root Cause
- Releasing a Negative Emotion (anger, sadness, fear, hurt, guilt, etc.)
- Removing a Limiting Decision
- Changing the direction/Location of the Time Line
- Creating Your Future
Major Premise
The major premise of Time-Line TherapyTM is that all learning, behavior and change is unconscious.
Prime Directives of the Unconscious Mind
There are many prime directives of the unconscious mind, including:
- It stores memories, both temporal and atemporal.
- It is the domain of the emotions.
- The unconscious mind organizes all memories; through time line and gestalt.
- It represses memories with unresolved negative emotion.
- It presents repressed memories for "rationalization".
- It may keep the repressed emotions repressed for protection.
- It runs the body. It has a blueprint of the body now, and of the body in perfect health (in the Higher Self.)
- It maintains the integrity of the body to preserve it.
- The unconscious is a highly moral being.
- It is a servant, to follow orders.
- It preserves and maintains all perceptions, both regular and telepathic, and it receives and transmits perceptions to the conscious mind.
- It generates, stores, distributes and transmits a"energy".
- It maintains instincts and generates habits.
- It needs repetition for long-term projects.
- It is programmed to continually seek more and more; there is always more to discover.
- It functions best as a whole integrated unit, and does not need parts to function.
- It is symbolic; using and responding to symbols.
- It takes everything personally.
- It works on the principle of least effort; using the path of least resistance.
- It does not process negatives.
Overview of the Technique
Time-Line TherapyTM techniques are an excellent form of brief therapy. An overview of the technique is:
- Take a detailed personal history. The more you know about the other person, the more in-depth your intervention can be.
- Set up the intervention.
- Discover how the person organizes time.
- Have the person float above the time line.
- Note the submodalities of the time line.
- Before floating above the time line, elicit the root cause.
- Release the negative emotion or limiting decision.
- When releasing a negative emotion or limiting decision, always preserve the learnings.
- Release the emotions or eliminate the limiting decisions ¾ make the necessary changes to memory.
- (If you removed a memory) Replace the eliminated with a neutral or positive memory. Repeat steps 7-9, using the earliest memory available until the unwanted state or behavior is not accessible.
- Repeat the process until the person is back to now.
- Have the person return to now.
- Test.
- Future Pace.
- Have the person return to now.
Creating an Achievable Outcome
The following questions assist in specifying an outcome for Time-Line TherapyTM techniques:
- What specifically do you want? (stated in positive terms.)
- Where are you now?
- What will you see, hear, fee, etc., when you have it?
- How will you know when you have it?
- What will this outcome get for you or allow you to do?
- Is it only for you?
- Where, when, how, and with whom do you want it?
- What do you have now, and what do you need to get your outcome?
- For what purpose do you want it?
- What will you gain or lose if you have it?
- What will happen if you get it?
- What won't happen if you get it?
- What will happen if you don't get it?
- What won't happen if you don't get it?
Questioning for Results
The question a practitioner can ask themselves that will produces the most results is:
"What is the question that I can ask which by the very nature of the presuppositions in the question itself will cause the person to make the greatest amount of change by having to accept the presuppositions inherent in the question?"
Elicitation of the Time Line
One technique of eliciting the time line is to ask the following question of another person:
"If I were to ask your unconscious mind where your past is, and where your future is, I have an idea you might say right to left, or front to back, or some direction in elation to your body. So if I ask your unconscious mind where's your past, to what direction would you point? Good. And if I ask your unconscious mind where's your future, to what direction would you point?"
Discovering the Root Cause
Unless you find the root cause, you cannot clear the emotions and limiting decisions. Clearing the first event disconnects all the subsequent incidents.
Negative Emotions
The specific intervention for the removal of a negative emotion is:
- Get permission to clear.
- Discover first event or root cause.
- Get in touch with timeline and flag; float above line.
- Float back to first event position #3 (just above and before event, facing now).
- Find positive learning in the event.
- Apply positive learning to now.
- Preserve positive learning.
- Let go of negative emotions.
- Flow light.
- Return to now, clearing along the way. (position #3 at event, then steps 5-9).
- Look back. If not clear, go back to step 2.
- Future pace event.
When the person is in position #3, there are three things to verify:
- Make sure the person is actually in position #3
- Make sure the person is before the first event.
- Make sure the person is totally agreeable to let go of the emotion.
Parts Reframes
Parts reframes are one technique to assist a person in releasing negative emotions. The reframes can be based upon learning, protections or safety, and on prime directives. Here are some examples of these parts reframes:
- Learning: "What is there to have learned form this event, the learning of which will allow you to easily let go of the emotions? Won't it be better to preserve the learnings than the emotions? But, if you let go of the emotions and preserve the learnings, you will have learned what you needed."
- Protection/Safety: "The negative emotion of _______________ doesn't protect you." (If you are working with fear or anger, mention flight or fight.) "In fact, negative emotions aren't safe for the body. Each negative emotion can contribute to the following types of health problems:
- anger heart attack
- sadness weakened immune system, depression
- fear excessive stress, PTSD, phobia
- guilt lowered healing energy
- conflict cancer
"Won't you be a lot safer if you let goof the emotions and preserve the learnings about taking care of yourself?"
- Prime Directives: "Not letting go of this emotion is in direct conflict with the highest Prime Directive of the unconscious mind, which is, 'To preserve the body.' This emotion, though getting results, does not preserve the body; it hurts the body. Wouldn't it be better to let go of the repressed emotion and get the same results some other way?"
Limiting Decision
Clearing Limited Decisions
The specific intervention is the Life Design Script - Limiting Decisions
- Get permission to clear.
- Discover first event or root cause.
- Get in touch with timeline & flag; float above line.
- Float back to making the limited decision position #3 (just above and before the decision, facing now).
- Find positive learning in the limited decision.
- Apply positive learning to now.
- Preserve positive learning.
- Let go of limited decision and emotions.
- Flow light.
- Return to now, clearing along the way. (position #3 at event, then steps 5-9).
- Look back. If not clear, go back to step 2.
- Future pace event.
Why the Emotions Disappear
There are three reasons why the emotions disappear. The first is psychological. Based on the work of Leslie Cameron-Bandler in Emotional Hostage, 1987, and Alfred Korzbski, Science and Sanity, 1933, all emotions require time to express their meaning, so a switching the temporal perspective reframes the emotion, and it disappears.
The second reason is metaphysical. Based on the book, A Course in Miracles, there is only one real emotion on the planet -- love. All the negative emotions are derivatives of fear and are an illusion, so a switch in the temporal perspective shows the emotion to be the illusion it is, and it disappears.
The third reason is quantum physics. Based on the work of Quantum Physics and Calculus, position #3 is the non-mirror image reverse of the way the emotion is held in "now." So position #3 is the multi-dimentional neurological opposite of "now." What happens is that this position acts like anti-matter, and the neurological boundaries of the emotion in the body gets blown away -- they disappear.
Changing the Time-Line Location/Direction
Any shift in the relationship between the body and the time line will have a profound effect on a person's personality, so it is necessary to use caution when making changes. Those changes should only be made after a thorough investigation, and a discussion with the person about the consequences.
S.M.A.R.T. Goals
S.M.A.R.T. goals are objectives or goals that are simple, measurable, achievable, realistic and toward what you want. (Also specific, meaningful to you, as if now, all areas of your life, responsible and ecological and timed.)
Health and Healing Factors
The health and healing factors when using Time Line Therapy are:
- Conflicts: Check on the following types of conflicts:
- Beliefs
- Values
- Parts
- Repressed Behavior
- Motivations: Check on what other motivations could be or secondary gain.
- The Effects of Suggestion: such as Post Hypnotic S.E.E.'s - a significant emotional experience can be as effective as hypnosis.
- Organ Language: Often, what we say to ourselves can cause problems, such as "A pain in the neck."
- Identification: Who and what do we identify with?
- Imprint (ages 0-7 years)
- Modeling (ages 7-14 years)
- Socializing (ages 14-21 years)
- Masochism: Self-Punishment - a result of guilt.
- Past Significant Emotional Experiences
- Body Image (formed when? - see #5)
- First Event in the Time Line
