The healing power of MER®, Mental and Emotional Release and the Breakthrough Process
If we had our wish, we’d prefer to begin all new Coaching Clients with Breakthrough Sessions and MER®. This allows for a more clean canvas on which we can begin our work together. It also assists in clearing & releasing any negative emotions, unresolved past baggage, and limiting beliefs prior to getting started with the Coaching relationship. We believe this creates more clarity and aides in removing what no longer serves the Client. Ultimately, this allows for more direction and energy to take the steps needed to create BIG results in ALL ways.
Our 4-Step Integrative & Trauma Informed Breakthrough Process includes Mental and Emotional Release® Therapy (MER®)
In the Breakthrough Process you’ll be:
- Tasking, Preparing and Selecting an Area of Focus: Family, Relationship, Professional/Work, Personal Growth, Health/Wellness, Spirituality
- Explore a Detailed Personal History to find the Root or the Greater Problem and any Limiting Beliefs or Conflicts that are getting in your way and causing suffering and eliciting your True Values to gain Clarity
- Releasing the Limiting Beliefs, Negative Emotions and integrate the Conflicts from the past using Mental and Emotional Release® Therapy
- Creating a plan of action that aligns you with new goals that increase effectiveness, accountability and expedited growth in your life moving forward
What is **Mental and Emotional Release® Therapy?
**See Dr. Matt James’ Book on Mental and Emotional Release on Amazon.
The Breakthrough Process
Mental and Emotional Release® Therapy (MER®) is a process that assists people in releasing unresolved negative emotions and their limiting beliefs. We all hold unwanted and unnecessary baggage from the past such as anger, sadness, hurt and fear. It can finally be released and resolved with MER® and a complete Breakthrough Experience.
In clinical research, Mental and Emotional Release® Therapy was proven to be effective in the treatment of depression (see study results below.) All patients in the test group experienced a full reduction in their depression and in the six years since the study was conducted, there have been zero cases of relapse. These results are exactly WHY we use this technique.
In academic research with at-risk teenagers, all participants in the study resolved anxiety issues and through the release of anger, the researchers were able to measure behavioral changes in the teenagers.
Finally, with hundreds of case studies ranging from PTSD to common issues such as minor anxiety, MER® has been proven to be effective in the release of negative emotions and limiting beliefs. It’s extremely efficient and often gets positive results within the first session — even with problems that were long-lasting, or with patients who had not responded to other treatments.
How it Works and Why it’s So Effective
The changes a Client experiences (in themselves and in their lives) through MER® has shown to be permanent. Unlike some other therapies that require constant monitoring or on-going medication to prevent relapse, once the Client has made a significant shift in MER®, it’s done. We have never had a client return complaining of an issue that we previously worked on. Can a Client have new problems arise? Of course. That’s life. In our experience, when the technique has been done properly and the client experiences the complete release of all negative emotions and their limiting beliefs, the problems do not return.
Through the complete release work and an educational process, a Client now has a baseline of mental and emotional health that allows them to deal with new problems more quickly and effectively. MER® studies are only a few years old so they are not linked to decades of results. However, we are very confident that follow-up studies down the road will support the longevity of results.
The Benefits
Compared to other types of therapy, Mental and Emotional Release® Therapy has a number of benefits. First of all, MER® is fast. Rather than spending months or years in therapy, most problems and symptoms — even those caused by severe trauma or those that have been ingrained for decades — will literally disappear within several sessions, a total of 5 to 8 hours. In fact, one of the odd downsides of the process is that it works so quickly and thoroughly to eradicate long-standing issues that clients have a hard time believing it! They feel symptom-free, yet some have trouble trusting that such a dramatic shift happened so swiftly and easily. Unfortunately, we have been influenced and trained to expect that creating positive change takes a long time, which is why most people give up or don’t even bother trying. Here’s the GREAT news, change does not need to be difficult. Remember that if it only takes a few moments to create a phobic reaction, emotional wounding or PTSD, it can also take that short of a period to release their effects on us.
One of the highly valuable benefits of MER® is that the process does not require the client to re-experience the events that traumatized them in the first place. This is especially important for clients with PTSD, phobias or those suffering from chronic depression or anxiety that is tied to abuse or trauma of some sort. The downside of many other therapies is that they require a client to “re-traumatize” themselves and relive the experience — a distressful process that many clients simply can’t face.
The difference is that during MER® clients are able to remain “disassociated” from the disturbing emotions and events of the past. If they do observe painful memories, MER® techniques keep clients at a safe distance, helping them adopt a perspective that feels impersonal, empowered and safe.
