What is Time Line Therapy®?
Time Line Therapy® is a therapeutic method that evolved from hypnotherapy and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). It was developed by Tad James, Ph.D. in the 1980s. The core idea behind Time Line Therapy® is that people unconsciously store memories in a linear manner, akin to a timeline, and this internal timeline holds the keys to our past and future experiences. This therapy aims to address and resolve negative emotions and limiting beliefs from the past to foster healing and personal growth.
What Time Line Therapy® Does
Time Line Therapy® is used to treat emotional traumas, eradicate unwanted thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, and help individuals create positive outcomes for their future.
Long Lasting Transformation
Time Line Therapy® is built on the premise that by changing how we interpret and store memories, we can alter our emotional responses and behavioural patterns. This approach is unique because it focuses on the individual’s internal time line, which is the mental representation of how they unconsciously store memories and perceive time. I believe that by working with this time line, I can help individuals make significant changes more quickly and effectively than with some traditional therapies.
As well as eliminating painful emotion attached to memories, I also use TLT techniques to reflect on what can be learnt from those events in a search for resources that can be used in the future. TLT can be one of the most effective therapies for personal change and growth, helping to achieve long lasting transformation with minimum client discomfort.
How can TLT help with painful emotions?
Time Line Therapy® is one of the most effective methods for creating quick and lasting changes for individuals. I combine TLT with advanced Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Havening Techniques and hypnosis , to accelerate healing and improve personal development to levels rarely achieved by other therapeutic or self-improvement modalities. A crucial part of the therapy is the detoxification of suppressed emotions. By systematically addressing and releasing negative emotions from past events, individuals can reduce the emotional baggage that may be hindering their present-day life. This process aims to bring about a sense of liberation and emotional freedom, allowing for healthier emotional responses to current and future situations. The emotions tackled with TLT are; anger, sadness, fear, hurt, and guilt, and they are purposefully processed in this order.
Time Line Therapy® addresses these main areas:
- Releasing Negative Emotions: Techniques are used to eliminate negative emotions such as anger, sadness, fear, hurt, and guilt from past events without the individual needing to re-experience any trauma.
- Removing Limiting Beliefs: It helps in removing limiting beliefs and decisions that prevent individuals from achieving their potential, such as “I am not good enough” or “I can’t succeed.”
- Creating Future Goals: It assists individuals in creating and achieving desired goals in their personal and professional lives.
How Time Line Therapy® Works:
The process of Time Line Therapy® typically follows these steps:
- Establishing the Time Line: The practitioner helps the client identify their internal timeline (how they unconsciously store and organize their memories). This is often done by asking the client to imagine floating above their life’s timeline and observing it from a distance.
- Identifying Root Causes: The client is guided to return to the root cause or the first event (the Initial Sensitizing Event) related to a negative emotion or limiting belief. This is believed to be the source of the issue.
- Releasing Negative Emotions: Through guided techniques, the client releases negative emotions from the past events without reliving the trauma. This might involve viewing the event from a different perspective or understanding it in a new light.
- Changing Limiting Beliefs: The practitioner guides the client to replace limiting beliefs with empowering ones, using the context of their timeline and future goals.
- Visualizing the Future: The client is encouraged to project themselves into the future on their timeline and imagine achieving their goals without the baggage of past negative emotions and limiting beliefs. This is meant to create a positive expectation and aid in manifesting desired outcomes.
Time Line Therapy® is often considered a rapid and effective method for personal growth and healing. However, it’s important to note that while many find Time Line Therapy® beneficial, it’s not suitable for everyone. The effectiveness can vary depending on individual circumstances, and it’s recommended to seek a qualified practitioner. Additionally, individuals with severe psychological issues should consult with a healthcare professional before undergoing any new therapy.
Francesco transformed my life, in just one session.I had preconceived ideas about therapy - awkward silences, all listening no advice, antidepressants and a long journey ahead.I was completely wrong.Francesco is a people person who has a natural comforting and friendly aura about him that instantly put me at ease. This helped us to quickly identify the route cause of my problems and to my surprise starting to fix (first session) what was needed. And when I say fix, I mean fix, not soothing over the pain.Providing you have the want to make a change, Francesco will do the rest.I only had 2 sessions but since that time I still feel reborn and most importantly, forever grateful.I would recommend Francesco to anyone.
Francesco has helped me work through some deeply ingrained issues and helped me gaining a more positive outlook on life in general, in just a few sessions. He is an excellent Life Coach and Therapist who know his stuff. Going through a breakthrough day with him was also a life changing experience. I wish I had done this work years ago. I now feel very confident and relaxed in my everyday life, and I feel very motivated to pursue my goals and ambitions, as well as knowing how to balance this with avoiding burnout and understanding my own natural tendencies and inclinations. I would highly recommend Francesco to anyone who is serious about making a radical change. The support in between sessions over WhatsApp is amazing. He is very attentive and personable man, and he truly cares about your Well-Being. Worth every penny!! Thank you, Francesco.
Fantastic therapist Francesco has really sorted my life out with his guidance and knowledge I am now able to deal with my emotions and my anxiety with coping mechanisms I’ve learned. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is struggling with any mental health issues!❤️
Long review but to summarise: Life-changing experience!After being diagnosed with childhood trauma by a psychiatrist, I sought help and was found Francesco. After an in-depth discovery call, he recommended a breakthrough session to start. I was initially hesitant as I have tried various therapies before which didn’t work. He answered all of my questions, gave me time to think and I decided to give it a go. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made.The initial session not only identified and addressed the primary trauma but unearthed other overlooked traumatic experiences. These revelations were eye-opening, considering previous therapies hadn't identified them over many years. In follow-up sessions, several lingering traumas were effectively dealt with within a few hours.The process was unexpectedly easy. He was very attentive, offering reassurance and guidance as necessary. We went over the allocated time for the session but he explained that we are not confined to a strict timeframe. NEVER have I had this offered before. I’ve had other therapist’s instantly end a session over time leaving me completely disjointed, so to hear this alleviated my anxiety. I felt genuinely cared for.In a few hours, the trauma that had plagued me was instantly gone. He also demolished a deep-seated limiting belief that had also unconsciously impacted my quality of ‘self-talk’ and confidence in business.What’s interesting, is that I was so focused on ‘healing’ myself, that I had given ZERO consideration to the impact of my trauma on others. Having it all removed, has highlighted this. Most notably how significantly it’s enhanced my relationship with my partner.As someone who was sceptical about holistic healing, the transformation I've undergone feels like a miracle. I’ve shed years of trauma which feels incredible.I cannot recommend Francesco enough! A day spent living with trauma, is a day too many. I’m very grateful that I found him, only wish I had discovered him years ago and saved myself years of ‘talking therapy’.
Francesco is really amazing! I came accross him after trying other types of therapy, as I was dealing with PTSD and anxiety post pandemic and giving birth to my child.Francesco help me bring hope again in my life, I am now on a new path in my life. I am very grateful and highly recommend him!I
Our son suffered a trauma, was still struggling after a year with PTSD. He had tried a number of psychotherapists but none seemed to help him fully recover. My husband and I were at our wits end, when a good friend suggested Francesco. Our son took to Francesco immediately saying that the Havening technique helped him immensely and that Francesco had a very kind way of delivering home truths. There was also great support between sessions by WhatsApp. Within four sessions our son was so much brighter and ready to restart his life. We feel incredibly grateful to Francesco and wished we had come across him earlier. We shall be shouting Francesco’s name from every rooftop - we highly recommend Francesco to anyone in need of help and direction in their lives. ✨
