Exploring how earlier experiences may relate to the present

 

I may draw on TimeLine Therapy®  when it feels relevant to the work. It can offer a way to explore whether an earlier experience, impression, or point of learning may feel connected with a feeling or pattern in the present. It is not used automatically with every client.

​​

The timeline is a personal map for exploration. It is not a literal line inside the mind or a complete record of memory. People may picture a timeline, sense it, describe it in words or have no clear image of one.

​

What “Root Cause” means in this approach

“Root Cause” is a term used in the TimeLine Therapy® model I trained in. It refers to an earlier experience, impression or point of learning that a person’s own process identifies as relevant to what they are exploring.

​

The term does not mean that every difficulty has one single starting event, or that an experience identified in the process proves why something happens now. Something that comes to mind may feel meaningful without establishing the factual accuracy of a memory.

​

You remain involved and in the present

We work with you, rather than doing something to you. You choose what you share and can question or correct my understanding, pause or stop.

​

When an issue is particularly personal or traumatic, it is not usually necessary to share the most personal details or recount an experience in full. We can explore how you think about and process a memory while you keep those details private, unless you choose to share them. You do not have to relive an experience for the work to continue.

​

How it may fit into our work

TimeLine Therapy® may be considered as one part of a wider therapeutic approach, depending on what you want to explore and what feels appropriate. We can discuss it together; there is no expectation that you will use it.
