𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐬𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞!

The week commencing Monday the 14th of September the 12-week Nonverbal Behaviour Therapeutic Index (NBTI) Practitioner course opens its doors.

It's the intersection of where nonverbal behaviour meets mental health and personal development.

I've already had one-to-one calls with each participant, and this fabulous group is going on an exciting journey.

We'll be deep diving into each of the 10 channels of nonverbal behaviour that often run outside a practitioner's awareness, yet are rich with fascinating data that can transform a session in a moment.

But we're not interested in learning information...

We're interested in embodying a transformation.

This looks and feels different for each participant. It will look and feel different for you too.

Using nonverbal behaviour as our observational lens and our embodiment tool - we'll be exploring the science, theory, and research behind each channel.

There are 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬 on the last course in 2026.

And it's an irresistible offer 👀📚📅

If you're interested in learning more, pop me a DM and I can share the course information.

Just over 2-weeks to go!!!!

What predictions do your clients make about your sessions?

The predictive coding model of the brain, and more recently the predictive coding model of trauma, suggests that the brain is continually making predictions about future events, people, and scenarios based on past data. Also known as your past experiences.

This got me wondering...

What predictions do your clients make about their upcoming session with you?

Do they anticipate it will be difficult?

Do they predict it will be heavy?

Do they expect it will be intensely emotional?

And what about the accuracy of their predictions?

When the session format is centred around verbal narrative from the subjective viewpoint of the individual experiencing the pain and discomfort, these predictions are often bang on.

But what if it were to be different?

What if you were to pleasantly violate these expectations and provide them with a dynamic, engaging, and curious exploration of their thoughts and their body in such a way that leaves them feeling more empowered?

What if your clients were to leave your session feeling uplifted and successful?

If you'd like to learn more about how you can cultivate these types of experiences, I'm putting on a free workshop in August and I'd love to see you there.

Celebrating the continued study of nonverbal behaviour to advance behaviour analysis in mental health. 🎓🥂

A cheeky little distinction to top it off 😉

If you're curious about how you can use behaviour analysis to help your clients and transform your own confidence, stay tuned for a special event coming soon 🤩

𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐡𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬? 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡?

When the structure of a session is intentionally focused on the client's narrative and you are channelling your attention and effort through active listening, the client's nonverbal behaviour takes a back seat.

But there are still moments where you get a sense that their narrative content and their overall communication package is in some way misaligned.

Without the certainty in knowing how to shine a light on the behaviour in a way that enhances the therapeutic alliance, you allow the moment to pass and continue with the session out of fear of coming across as judging or confrontational.

And yet, that moment stays in your mind. It does so for a reason.

A part of you, a part of both of you actually, knew there was something there, but it was glossed over. .

Politely, calmly, smoothly. But costly.

The cost to you is that by ignoring those signals, doubt and uncertainty creeps into your mind and leads to second guessing your ability and therapeutic decisions.

The cost to your client is that they miss out on the opportunity to pause, reflect and explore the very perceptions, decisions and actions contributing to their problem.

The end result is you being described as warm and friendly, but not the person who helped them move.

When you open your attention to all of the different channels of nonverbal behaviour, your personal experience shifts from ‘trying’ and ‘effortfully listening’, to relaxing into a space of calm observation.

The impact on your system is huge.

And when you then combine that with the ONCE technique (Observe, Notice, Connect, Enquire), you bring a lightness and curiosity to your session that welcomes these types of explorations.

Your client shifts - and you become their trusted guide.

How do you cultivate curiosity in your sessions?

From tears of pain to tears of gratitude…

The fourth episode of the Nonverbal Behaviour Masters Series is with none other than the world-renowned international speaker and polymath Dr. John Demartini.

Dr. Demartini is known on the world stage, featuring in movies and documentaries, speaking in over 100 countries sharing his wisdom and fulfilling his mission of empowering the lives of the people he meets.
If personal empowerment is of interest to you, Dr. Demartini provides the path.

Demartini's work represents a synthesis of fascinating insights gleaned from the study of over 200 different disciplines, combined with over four decades of direct experience and the latest in cutting-edge science and research.

But once again, this goes beyond the bio.

Dr Demartini's work provides a systematic, consistent, and repeatable way of transcending the barriers that are holding you back, and gives you access to a moment where your heart opens.

The experience is unique.

Using the Demartini Method, I had a transformational experience following the passing of my dad, which can still bring tears to my eyes when I recall it.
His teachings have facilitated transformations like this for people all around the world.

In this episode, we discuss how the amygdala can distort our perceptions of the people and events around us, how our values drive our behaviour, and the neurobiology of the heart opening moment.

How would you describe a heart open moment?
