How could Generative Changework Work for You?

PLEASE NOTE: James has only a limited number of spaces currently available for Generative Changework! Please be aware of this upon application!

Generative Changework

Generative Changework
Generative Changework is simply about working with people to make changes in their lives -- this can be anything from changing habits and behaviour to working with problem thoughts and feelings (anxiety, depression etc.). But, be clear…

Generative Changework is NOT therapy!

It is about functional methods for improving your life through improving the quality and functionality of your thinking, emotional responses, unconscious attitudes and understandings and outward behaviours. It is about becoming you, only better! Happier, freer more motivated, and more adapted to lead the kind of life you want to lead.

Why Change is Hard

“Most people come to see me as a last resort -- they have tried to solve their problem or change their ways but haven’t succeeded.  And there is a good reason why - change is hard!” -- James Tripp

Why Change is Easy

“Just as change is hard, change is also easy! I know this sounds like a contradiction, but it really isn’t - watch the video and find out why!” -- James Tripp

Generative Changework Solves Problems… What Kind of Problems?

Over the years James has worked with many people on many issues, most of which don’t fall into a neat diagnostic category.  Here are some examples…

  • My temper is getting out of hand and I can’t seem to control it.
  • I cannot seem to lose weight and keep it off.
  • Most food makes me gag, even just thinking about it.
  • I have had an affair, and I can’t stop thinking about her.
  • I want to stop smoking.
  • I have started getting panic attacks, and they are getting worse -- help!
  • My drinking is getting out of hand.
  • I am terrified of flying, and it is stopping my family from enjoying holidays abroad.
  • I am addicted to crack/heroin/drugs and I need to stop before it ruins my life.
  • I am consumed by feelings of anger towards my ex.
  • I have exams coming up, and I think that I will panic.
  • Social situations make me anxious.
  • I hate my job and feel trapped.
  • I am depressed.
  • I am having problems with motivation.
  • I dislike myself.
  • My eating is out of control.
  • I want more confidence.
  • I want to get motivated.
  • I want to take control of my life.

If you are serious about making changes, James Tripp’s approach to Generative Changework can help you -- and it is about more than just ‘fixing’ stuff!

These days, James works predominantly with people who simply wish to develop themselves towards greater success and personal happiness in life want to increase their personal success. For details of this kind of work, please see Personal and Professional Development.

 

Does Generative Changework Work?

Most of the people James works with have already tried to change or resolve their problems and make the appropriate changes, but without the level of success they would like (and often without any significant success at all). Many have even sought help through counselling, psychotherapy, NLP or even hypnotherapy and have still been unable to change the issue.

PLEASE NOTE: If this describes YOU please be aware that this will not alter your likelyhood of succeeding this time. You are not seeing a counsellor, psychotherapist or classical hypnotherapist, and you will not have worked on your problem before like you will with James Tripp.

James’s integrative approach will enable you to:

  • Utilise your innate psychological and neurological capabilities of learning and change (yes, you have them -- more than you realise) to generate more functional attitudes, behaviours, cognitions and internal responses.
  • Learn to run feedback loops that will enable the on-going evolution and adjustment of the changes you are making.
  • Learn cognitive skills and fundamental perspectives that will enable you to run your brain, behaviour and emotions better.

This is not standard ‘NLP’ or ‘Hypnotherapy’ stuff!

The approach itself is grounded in a process of ‘psychoactive’ exploration and optimised re-patterning. It utilises our innate psychological and neurological capabilities of learning and change to generate more functional attitudes, behaviours, cognitions and internal responses.

Essentially it works because as human beings we have all the capabilities necessary to re-pattern ourselves… we just mostly don’t know how to do it!

Method?

Genearative Changework is solution focussed (no freudian ‘analysis’ or digging over the past) and has an integrative base drawing on the following disciplines:

  • Direct and Indirect Hypnosis
  • Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) methods
  • Ideodynamics
  • Clean Language, Clean Space and Symbolic Modelling
  • Second Order Change Strategies (After Paolo Alto M.R.I. Brief Therapy)
  • Strategic Provocation (After Frank Farelly’s Provocative Therapy)
  • Integral Eye Movement Therapy
  • REBT, Framing and Re-Framing
  • Worldview Work
  • Mindfulness Based Techniques and Focussing (After Eugene Gendlin)
  • Psychosensory Intervention

James Tripp is based in Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire U.K. If you wish to work face-to-face (this conveys the most advantage) you will need to make an appointment to see James at his office.  Where this is not feasible, it is quite possible to work with James via telephone or Skype.

To find out about working with James, please telephone (+44) 1462 674411. And please only ring between the hours of 9 am and 7 pm UK TIME!

ADVANCE WARNING: Dedicated Clients Only, Please!

 

A note from James…


“Thank you for taking the time to read this page. If you would like my help working through any issues or making a personal change, I would love to hear from you and have the opportunity for a chat.

Please be aware, however, that I am selective about who I will work with. If we work together, it will be a requirement that we will work together AS A TEAM!  By this I mean you will be required to actively and proactively engage in the process and play your part 100%. So…

  • If you are genuine about making change and are willing to actively engage and participate fully in making it happen, then you are the kind of person that I will happily work with.

HOWEVER…

  • If you are looking for some kind of ‘easy magic solution’ (to just sit passively in a chair and ‘get hypnotised’ out of your problem) then you will need to look elsewhere. (It’s true that with formal ‘hypnosis’, change can happen fast, but please beware of those offering’gimmick cures’ that promise the world for nothing more than a slice of your hard earned cash!)”

 

But what if I just want a quick and easy fix?

Generative changework is not slow! It starts getting functional changes straight away. What it doesn’t do is ‘install’ perfect ready made solutions using magic hypnosis or voodoo.

Many hypnosis practitioners will promise you perfect and permanent resolution of your problem in one or 2 short easy sessions… and the truth is that this can sometimes happen!

Alas it is the exception rather than the rule. Most of the major patterns we run are sufficiently complex that they require a little more real world attention and process expertise. They require you to be an active participant in the process of creating and implementing the solution.

Generative Changework is usually best carried out over several sessions. This allows for utilising feedback and adjusting and evolving the changes. With that said, given the right attitude a tremendous amount of useful work can be done in just a single session. This is because Generative Changework always begins from the first session. In fact, it begins before that -- when we initially speak on the phone (or Skype).  With only a single Breakthrough Session you can unstick a problem enough to set up more functional parameters for ongoing change and resolution.” - James Tripp

To find out more about what can happen in just 1 session, please see Breakthrough Sessions.

 

Call (+44) 1462 674411 for a brief free telephone consultation to find out whether Generative Changework is suitable for you.

Please call only between the hours of 9 am and 7 pm UK time!

National and International by ‘phone, Skype or personal appointment.

what is your success with social anxiety – I’ve been studying Hypnosis, NLP, and every other modality I can find on the internet for the last 10 years. I am also personally trained in hypnosis under Igor Ledochowski as well as Jeff Stephens, but I am still burdened with social anxiety. What can you offer me?. Also – would you recommend your changework apllications product in order to personally learn the change work to do on myself? I hypnotize myself through recordings on a regular basis. Thanks

Hi Paul

Social Anxiety is a specialism and particular area of interest, due to my own history and journey out of the patterns of social anxiety.

What can I offer you? That question is a bit too broad and open to answer. The answer could be “nothing” or “a path to being socially comfortable and erudite”, depending on where you are with your willingness to challenge your own assumptions and engage with a process of learning.

One thing I can tell you right off the bat is that you will probably not fix it with one or 2 quick hypnosis sessions – social anxiety is most often a problem of worldview rather than a simple stimulus-response pattern. To shift it takes many shifts in perspective AND attitude, as well as some skills based work around patterns of interraction.

If you are serious about changing this, PM me and I will arrange for you a discounted coaching/Changework session to give you some of the fundamentals. I am not saying that 1 session will fix the problem, but we can get for you some useful understanding of how your pattern works, along with some highly functional tools and a pathway for getting out of it.

You can PM me on James @ hypnosiswithouttrance.com or Skype me at captaintripp

All the very best

James

P.S. The Changework Applications set will not help you for this!
