Beschreibung

Neuro-Coaching and effective Psychotherapy The new way to solve problems and to create a better future! What is this book about? It is about solving mental blocks. Why don't we do something, even though we long for it? Why don't we achieve our goals? Why are we unhappy, depressed and suffered from terrible fears? Something is in our head, which inhibits ourselves. Limits ourselves. So much, that we are not fulfilling our potential and prevent ourselves from being successful. How psychotherapy or coaching, based on physical and physiological - especially neuro-electric - principles can work, can be read here. The humorous work-up is just as informative for laymen as for experienced therapists.

Notes

Foreword by Professor (UCN) Karl Nielsen PhD

As a critically-minded person I have always been interested in NLP and scientific evidence. I would see the step from an individual case to the systemic investigation. The step from an unproven opinion to real scientific knowledge has always fascinated me. Therefore I took part in the building of a degree course in psychology with a focus on NLP for experienced practitioners to get the opportunity to share their experiences and to scientifically investigate the effective factors of their success.

That is exactly what Christian Hanisch, PhD, did. With his curiosity and his thirst for knowledge he looked in depth into the neural network of the brain. His experience in electrical engineering and information technology made it possible for him to raise the scientific investigation of traumas to a level I would not have imagined possible. He sees traumas as a stored neuro-energy potential and treats traumas accordingly so that they dissolve. His electrical and chemical explanation model was all at once simple and understandable. It is coherent, clear and logical to understand. Otherwise, this is often rather vague and not so clear in psychology. He developed emotionSync® as a method and could scientifically prove its effectiveness in a comprehensive study in his doctoral thesis. He also demonstrated the method emotionSync® with 14 different clients in my presence and released their stress disorder.

For his extraordinary achievements for the science in the field of psychology, he was offered a professorship so that future psychology students could benefit under his management from exploring NLP further and thus within the meaning of neuro-psychology (NLPsych) also continuing its development.

Foreword by authors

The basis for this book is my (Christians’) dissertation in psychology. Dissertations must comply with scientific writing style, which unfortunately means that for the scientific reader they are cumbersome, often boring to read and sometimes difficult to understand. Therefore, Claudia (Doctor of psychology) helped me to transform the thesis into a generally understandable and hopefully amusing form to make it easily readable. The often loose tone of this book should not mean that it is not a scientific work. This dissertation has been examined and recognized by a prestigious university.

What is the issue of this book? It is a question of breaking blockages in your head. Why don´t we do something, even though we yearn for it? Why don´t we achieve our goals? Why we are unhappy, depressed and suffer from terrible fears? Something sits in our head that inhibits and limits us, so that we remain under our possibilities. Possibilities to be successful.

Sometimes there is a neural blockage in our brain, which paralyzes and hinders us. These blockages in the head are increased by thoughts, through wrong habits and patterns of thinking in daily life.

Many people associate with psychotherapy year-long pilgrimages on the couch. Couches can be comfortable (even if they are rarely used nowadays in therapy) and you can certainly park yourself on them. But if you are offered the fast train of therapy methods, would you voluntarily enter the slow train? Yes, but only if you have time and want to enjoy the scenery. Some time ago there was beer advertising, where an American farmer brags about how long it takes him to circle his property by car. His Frisian beer partner nods lost in thought and says with wide dialect „Yes, I used to have a car like this.“ If you could have a Porsche – why should you be satisfied with something else? 100 years ago, we were still on the go with horse-drawn carriages and one HP. Today we loose lawn with 160 miles on the highway. Computers are faster, everything is faster, then why not psychotherapy and coaching. No matter how big your psychological problem is, there is a faster way to success than a year long pilgrimage.

„Why should things take long if they could go fast?”

„Take the time you need but no more!“

How such psychotherapy or such coaching, based on physical and physiological, and especially neuro-electrical principles can work, I will show you here. In this spirit I would like to invite you to a journey into our deep psyche.

„Come with me to the Adventure Land – The entrance costs your mind – and do it in your own way.“ (PUR – song text of famous German musicians)

As Victor Hugo already raved: „There is a sight that is greater than the sea, the sky; there is a sight that is greater than heaven, this is the interior of the soul.“ („Fantine“ – Les Miserables)

Before you, esteemed colleague, stop reading at this point offendedly („my methods really have an effect“) – yes, they do. A large number of studies is evidence of this. All that can be improved further. And you can be a part of it as well.

The methods presented here I developed myself. Here I did intensive recycling. I have included positive aspects of existing treatment methods and on the basis of my training as an electrician and engineer for electrical engineering and computer science as well as Doctor of psychology, I have combined psychotherapy with electrical-physical principles. The components are all known and scientifically proven – but the combination is new. And especially I will take you to an ultrashort-term therapy I have developed, so the pace will be extremely accelerated. Note: This book has been translated from German into English. Please excuse any translation errors.

Especially in times where many patients have to wait for years for a treatment course fast and effective therapy is very important.

Enters a therapist in a taxi. The taxi driver asks: „Well, where should it go?“ „No matter where – I am needed everywhere.“ The development of the methods was guided by something that was described very impressively in an American textbook: „I believe that if someone enters the field of psychotherapy or consulting/coaching issues, then the best theory and methodology shoud be one of its own. The reader will neither become successful nor happy if he uses a method which isn´t in harmony with his or her personality. Really successful therapists will adapt or develop a therapy and methodology that is congruent with their own personality.“ So this is also a very personal book and you will also learn a lot about myself and get to know me.

In the development of the therapy I was inspired by Steve Jobs` unforgotten words:

Apple Think Different Advertising (1997 – 2002)

„Here’s to the crazy ones.

The misfits.

The rebels.

The troublemakers.

The round pegs in the square holes.

The ones who see things differently.

They’re not fond of rules.

And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.

But the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.

Because they change things.

They push the human race forward.

And while some may see them as the crazy ones,

We see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think

they can change the world,

Are the ones who do.”

These persons are shown in this spot:

Albert Einstein, Bob Dylan, Martin Luther King, Jr., Richard Branson, Miles Davis, John Lennon, Richard Buckminster Fuller, Thomas Edison, Muhammad Ali, Ted Turner, Maria Callas, Mahatma Gandhi, Amelia Earhart, Alfred Hitchcock, Martha Graham, Jim Henson, Jerry Seinfeld, Frank Lloyd Wright und Pablo Picasso.

Hints to read the book

It is intended for lay people, for patients, for prospective therapists and for experienced therapists and coaches. Different groups will find different information interesting. It is therefore divided into parts. At the beginning of each part there are one/two sentences in which it is explained for which type of readers this part is primarily intended. But it is written in such a way that also lay people can read and understand everything! By means of this structure there are some repetitions, so that the reader can also „step in“ later. Sometimes a grey box is inserted. These contain anecdotes or additional information. Furthermore, we cite some jokes about therapies, marked by smileys . Laughter is healthy and fun. Try it out! Children laugh up to 400 times a day – adults only approx 15 times. One more thing: for reasons of readability, we will not use any of the politically correct forms of male and femaly, but only the male form. We ask the female readers, to forgive us for this – it is not meant as discrimination!

A consolation for the women: Why is psychotherapy much shorter for men than for women? When it is time to mentally return to childhood, the men are already there.

Or this one: Intelligence test for newborn babies: Hit on the butt, the intelligent ones will lose their tail.

In order to clarify the terms: We talk mostly of „Therapist“. This term incudes coaches, consultants, psychotherapists and psychiatrists (the different terms are defined at the beginning of the book. We also mostly talk about „client“ – which of course also includes patients (A coach isn´t allowed to have „patients“, which is why we favor the more neutral term).

So, lots of fun and learning fidelity when reading this book!

Disclaimer

The Information and statements made here are not a substitute for a medical or therapeutic practical treatment. We make no healing statements and certainly no promise of salvation in the legal sense and don´t want it to be understood this way.

Likewise, the reading of this book is not a substitute for training in emotionSync®-methods. It is used to support training and to look up and check for information. Still if you do not know emotionSync®, I hope it will make you curious for more – both as a coach and therapist and as a client.

Part 1 – The classical view

Large parts of this chapter are common knowledge for experienced therapists – or should be. Those who come more from a humanistic tradition, will learn new things in the neuroscientific part in any case.

The three Psychos and a common misconception

Psychology, psychotherapy and psychoanalysis – in everyday language those terms bounce against one another like rudderless boats in a torrent. Sometimes also the psychiatry is added. We tend to equate them all. Unfortunately this is absolutely wrong.

Before we go any further, two jokes to lighten up: For most people, psychoanalysis is connected to the name Sigmund Freud – and with Sigmund Freud in turn the terms of the Oedipus Complex and the penis envy. Both are highly controversial, especially regarding the history of the women's movement. In order to defuse this discussion, we steal the thunder from it: Definition of „Penis Envy“: the desire to be crumpled and small. The parents have sent their son to a psychoanalyst. Once he is at home he reports the diagnosis: „Mom, I have an oedipal complex.“ „Oh,“ says the mother and embraces him consolingly, „Oedipus Rex or buckle Oedipus! The important thing is that you love your Mom.“

To come back to the big three psychos: The first big mistake, „a psychologist is a psychotherapist“. No, he is not. A psychologist can´t practice psychotherapy. He is not allowed to (very important!) practice psychotherapy. He can learn psychotherapy, but he won´t do it studying psychology in the first place. So what does he learn in studying psychology? Psychology is an empirical science dealing with mental processes (thinking, feeling, perceiving) and behavior.

„The psychologist says what everyone knows in a language nobody understands.“

Friedemann Schulz von Thun, Professor for Psychology

The range of research fields is relatively large, as large as the bandwidth of everything that we think (perception psychology), feel (emotion psychology) what drives us (motivational psychology), how we live together (Social Psychology), how we learn (psychology of learning), how our memory functions (memory psychology), what we are aware of – to mention just a few. There is still much more. It is important that we deal with a science that has only been accepted for a short time. The focus has only been on empirical research for 100 – 200 years. Psychology operates empirically on basic research and on the other hand there are applied subjects. The applied subjects include Clinical Psychology, which is connected closest to psychotherapy as it is concerned with the research subject of mental disorders, and psychological aspects of somatic disorders.

On the other hand what is psychotherapy? For psychotherapy there are many different definitions, because there is a large variety of psychotherapy methods (we will discuss this later), which makes a precise definition of psychotherapy more difficult. Probably the oldest extant definition comes from Anna O who is considered one of the „classical“ patients of the early psychoanalysis. She has been treated by Josef Breuer, who is considered as the co-founder of psychoanalysis next to Sigmund Freud. Her definition of her therapy was „talking cure“. Talking all the time of your problems.

Talking is cheap – until you go to a therapist.

A large American textbook took the view that a definition of psychotherapy is not possible. Another called psychotherapy an undefined method, with unpredictable results applied to non-specific problems. A kind of „... for they know not what they do“. In the eponymous film James Dean struggels for love and recognition. In many therapy sessions this is precisely the topic. Psychotherapy and Coaching are initially an interaction between at least two people. The relationship between these two people is an essential part of the therapy and its significance may de facto be underestimated.

What is the definition of humanistic psychotherapy? This is the form of therapy, in contrast to the furniture-centric or to the weather-centric therapy that is concerned with the client.

Every serious coach and therapist works with human dignity and appreciating human dignity, corresponding to the principles of the so-called „soft medicine“. The Coach and therapist doesn´t just stab around in the dark, but consciously and systematically initiates a process of change that has the objective to reduce suffering pressure or to make good things even better. The exact target (what is to be achieved is individually agreed upon between therapist and client (this development is part of the process). Good therapy offers the possibility of personality development and self-experience, what induces the creation of new meaning. It opens up the patient for new options of action.

It is very important that the approach and verification of emotionSync® is scientifical. If psychotherapy and coaching is scientific, it is controversially discussed. Some point out that therapy could never work scientifically due to the uniqueness of each therapy session. It was more an art than a science. The controversy of science is initially determined by the definition of science. Psychotherapy and coaching, as we understand it, extends knowledge – both within a session, as well as by their systematic further development, explores new and existing methods, disseminats this knowledge through systematic teaching and thus contributes to the whole universe of knowledge. All these are criteria of science. If all aspects of psychotherapy and coaching have the potential of becoming scientific or if they already are, is not finally clarified. The fact that non-scientific aspects can be used in the individual therapy does not alter the fact that psychotherapy is accessible for scientific research. Even the famous philosopher and science theorist Karl Popper noted that the emergence conditions of scientific ideas are often non-scientific. One of the biggest scientific theories, the theory of relativity was created, because Albert Einstein was led by the idea to ride on a beam of light. Not the most scientific of ideas.

However it is undeniable that on the total market of psychotherapy methods not all meet scientific demands. There are also many black sheep and wolves in sheep's clothing. Immanuel Kant believed that psychology as a „science“ or „experimental teaching“ was impossible. Today University Psychology could not be imagined without science. Everyday Psychology still exists of course. Susanne Berke Heger describes in her humorous book „It probably is something psychological: When I ignored therapies, tricks & tips and got incredibly happy,“ how pseudo-psychology is lurking for us on every corner in the form of kitchen psychological wisdom, pseudo-freudian knowledge and allegedly psychotherapeutic general places. This side of psychology and psychotherapy (where both are only pseudos), isn´t considered in detail at this point, but a scientific and also individual and humane approach will be persued.

Who is allowed to do what and who pays for what − a little bit of law

A disclaimer in advance: We are not lawyers and this is not legal advice. We apologize to lawyers in advance who might discover mistakes here.

So, let's go: If neither psychologists nor physicians or else educators per se are psychotherapists who may operate as a psychotherapist then and how does someone become a psychotherapist? In Germany, this is regulated by the psychotherapist law since 1999. According to the lawa, four professional groups are allowed to practice psychotherapy:

Doctors with psychotherapeutic training

(there are medical specialists for psychiatry and psychotherapy, specialists for psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy and specialists for child and youth psychiatry and psychotherapy. There are also doctors with psychotherapeutic additional training.)

Psychological psychotherapists

(psychologists with psychotherapeutic supplementary training)

Medical practitioners for psychotherapy:

These represent a special case because they get permission to practice psychotherapy according to the non-medical Practitioners' Law. But they are not allowed to practisce the usual tasks of a healer and are therefore often referred to as „small salvation Alternative Practitioners“

Child and adolescent psychotherapists:

Those psychotherapists treat only children and young people. They are psychologists, teachers and social educators (some federal states have also other occupational groups) and also have a special additional training in psychotherapy.

The regulation of who is entitled to exercise psychotherapy is country-specific and currently only eleven of the 28 EU Member States have a legal regulation. In many places it is easier than in Germany to be authorised as a psychotherapist. In Austria, for example the conditions of approval are much broader than in Germany. Especially in the USA, it is relatively easy to purchase a license as a „Health Service Provider“ – and to get the health insurance companies to pay for it. And so to the next important point: Who pays for what?

There are large numbers of different therapy methods. Psychoanalysis, psychological depth psychotherapy (simplified said, further development of psychoanalysis), behavioral therapy, call therapy, systemic therapy, gestalt therapy, art therapy, music therapy, group therapy, psychodrama, hypnotherapy, just to name a few.

As in the case of the approval it is also country-specific how many and which procedure are „recognized“. In Germany the Scientific Advisory Council for Psychotherapy (WBP) is responsible for the recognition. Therapy procedures recoginized by WBP can be paid for by state health insurance. (Caution! There are scientifically recognized methods, yet they are no paid for! Conversely, on special request there are also other therapy methos that can be paid for if there is no authorised therapist available in a reasonable waiting time.) The private health insurance companies are finally free in their decision.

Duration of psychotherapy

There is different information on thhe average duration of psychotherapy and the statutory health insurance companies have discretion as to how many hours are ultimately reimbursed. In order to give a rough assessment:

Behavior therapy: Typically one hour (one hour means usually 45 minutes) per week between 45 and 100 hours total (shorter therapies especially in narrowly defined problems are possible)

Deep psychological psychotherapy: Typically one hour per week, between 50 and 100 hours total

Psychoanalysis: usually needs 2 – 3 hours per week, 160 – 300 hours total (!!!)

These figures you should keep in mind because you will see later how the ultra-short-time method emotionSync® and its efficiency works.

Says the therapist to the client: „Only three more meetings, then we are ready.“ The client delighted: „Then I am cured?“ „No, then you have paid for my house completely alone!“

Psychotherapist versus coach

In contrast to the psychotherapist the term „coach” is not protected. Everyone can call themselves a coach. The result is a virtually inflationary situation in the coaching area. More and more self-appointed or coaches not recoginized and trained by government institutions romp on the market. The range extends from charlatanery up to high quality offers.

Often it is assumed that coaching and psychotherapy are completely different. In a famous book on coaching the author says in a cynical sense „Well, coaches earn more.“ One of the main reasons is that coaches are often hired by companies. Managers in particular prefer to go to coaches than to psychotherapists and if they go to psychotherapists, the company doesn´t know. Psychotherapy is still stigmatised.

Coaching in Business context is often rather known as training. But Coaching also means further personal development and help with psychological problems. Overall, coaching in the personal area is getting more and more frequent. In addition, business and private life is beoming less disconnected, so business coaching and Personal Coaching (also known as „life coaching“) merge ever more. This is initially due to the development of the structures of professional life. In addition some approches (in particular the systemic) emphasize that problems from private life are brought into working life and vice versa. Not only that you come to work „crumpled“ when small children have passed the night yelling, or vice versa, you can e.g. project problems with your father onto your boss (as shown in the transaction analysis by Eric Berne ).

Psychotherapy is often used in connection with the treatment of the mental disorders diagnosed by a doctor, with a „real“ disease. But here also, the difference between healthy and sick is fluent. From the problems of an officially healthy person a diagnosable mental disorder can develop. But caution: For legal reasons, a coach mustn´t claim to heal psychological disorders. But he is entitled to coach someone in order to better endure mental disorders.

Ultimately the question to what extent coaching and psychotherapy differ, is dependent on the precise definition of coaching. Some see a sharp border; others see a rather flowing transition. In any case it is clear that in both coaching and psychotherapy the same methods can be used. The methods presented in this paper can be used in both contexts.

To conclude this with a little caricature: Completely distinguishing psychotherapy from coaching, consultancies, pastoral care, neighborhood/friendly help or self-experience is hardly possible! To tell your neighbour“if you need me, I am there for you“ can already be helping, e.g. because he no longer feels alone. However, severe trauma or phobias or diseases can not be healed by this compassion.

Who is allowed to practice coaching? In principle everyone. The term of coaching is not protected. But it would be grossly negligent to go into this profession without a good coaching education. It is important not only to read this book, but it is better to learn these methods in a seminar (www.emotionSync.de). You can switch on this site to English language.

In order to show the difference between some treatment and coaching methods and to have something to laugh about, here the famous railway station joke. Should you belong to one of these professional forms and would never say anything like this, please do not worry. The fact that sometimes there are two answers proves that there is by no means perfect agreement. Finally the world would be so boring if we are all perfect and agreed.

It is also a task for you to recognize how differently people can think about one and the same thing – which is important for the therapeutic process as you will see later in this book.

Here firstly those who have to do with mental/spiritual therapy in the broadest sense (even if some of the occupational titles can be referred to as a bit dubious):

Breathing therapist: „The breath will show you the way.“

Bioenergetist: „Look, your body already knows the answer. Make: Sch –sch –sch.! That works!“

Coach1: „If I give you the solution first, it will not eliminate the problem permanently.“

Coach2: „Are you part of the solution or part of the problem?“

Family constellation: „If you had felt your father behind you, you would have already found the station.”

Family therapist1: „for whom in the family is it particularly important that you go to the station?“

Family therapist2: „What do you think your sister will think your parents might feel when they hear that you want to go to the station?“

Family therapist3: „What is your secondary profit, if you ask me the way to the station? Do you want to make my acquaintance?“

Freudian: „Could you please tell me in how far you might be the station yourself!“

Spirit healer: „For the answer we need a great deal of positive energy. Let us form a circle of power and call your protection spirit!“

Dialog therapist1: „You would like to know where the station is.“

Dialog therapist2: „You would like to know where the train station is and that makes you not only sad, but also a bit angry.“

Dialog therapist3: „You woul like to know how to get to the train station, don´t you? And that makes you not only clueless, but perhaps even a bit angry?“

Gestalt therapist: „You, just fully accept that you want to go to the train station!”

Humanistic psychologist: „If you really want to go there and then simply believe in yourself, then you will find the way.“

Hypnotherapist 1: „If you let the idea take over while exhaling smoothly, that you already are at the train station ––– Yeees, sooo, righhht, simply ever more and deeper intuitive and curious while exhaling, what steps might you probably have taken even before ––– always more step by step perceiving deeper and more of what shows itself to get there? Perhaps you already feel how that feels when you very gently with the soles of your feet ...”

Hypnotherapist 2: „Close your eyes. Your subconscious knows the way to the train station.“

Hypnotherapist 3: „Close your eyes. Relax. Ask your subconscious, whether it will help you or not.“

Imago-therapist: „I hear you say that you ask yourself how to get to the train station. Have I heard everything?“

Integrative therapist: „What do you feel when you ask me of all people that question? Try to sense it exactly! What does it do to you? What does this remind you of?“

Creativity therapist: „Jump around on one leg until your head produces a spontaneous idea!“

Speech therapist: „What sense does it make for you to go to the station?“

Solution orientated therapist 1: „Imagine: Suddenly a miracle happens and you are already at the station. What is different with this?”

Solution orientated therapist 2: „There was already the exception that you had found at the Station? What difference does this make?“

NLP’ler: „Imagine you are already at the train station. What steps have you taken?“

Provocative therapist: „I bet that you will never find the way to the train station!“

Psychiatrist: „Railway station? Traveling by train? You? Which class? Don´t answer, take this medicine.“

Psychoanalyst 1: The first one does not react quickly enough so that the seeker prefers to make an appointment with someone else in the next year.

Psychoanalyist 2: „You mean this dark cave where there is always something long driving in and out, in and out, in and out?“

Psychodramatherapist: „To the train station? Fine. We will play that. If you give me your hat, I will give you my jacket and then you only need to find someone who is willing to play the train station.“

Rational-emotive therapist: „Give me a good reason why you want to go to the station.“

Reincarnation therapist: „Go back to the time before your birth. What karma makes you always rely on the help of others?“

Systemic consultant 1: „Simply select someone from the pedestrians for the station! What changes for you when you approach him? Is there something more to it than just the station?”

Systemic consultant 2: „I wonder what your mother would say, if your father had asked that question.“

Systemic consultant 3: „What do you think, what it means for your wife when she learns that you want to go to the train station? And what do you think your mother-in-law would suspect what your wife will say?“

Depth psychologist 1: „So you want to travel? Actually, will you leave everything behind you?“

Depth psychologist 2 (slow, stretched): „You ... want to travel?“

Depth psychologist 3: „You feel this urge to travel again?“

Depth trauma analyst: „Railway? Station? The path as the path of life ... the present section of your life ... You are not able to find the connection alone – but at least you are already looking! What do you associate with court? You have pigs? Courtly ideas? Certain hopes? Yes? Great! By the way: there is no station ...“

Transaction analyst: „And now if you clarify this question: what exactly is my role here?“
