Time-Line Therapy Origins Tad James

Time-Line Therapy was developed by Tad James, his first book on the subject ‘Time Line Therapy and the Basis of Personality’ was published in 1988, following his progression into the study and practice of NLP after studying his Master’s Degree in Mass Communication at Syracuse University. After his development of Time-Line Therapy, Tad James furthered his studies achieving a PhD in Hypnotherapy from the American Institute of Hypnotherapy in 1991. 

Time-Line Therapy was developed as a way of filling gaps in neuro linguistic programming. Specifically, ability to release old, negative emotions which have ceased to be appropriate, and limiting decisions people are rarely aware of, that form the root cause of limiting beliefs.

In addition, Time-Line Therapy was found to have benefits in helping people achieve goals and dreams more easily, through a special process of visualization and future pacing.

Tad James continues refining the techniques of Time-Line Therapy and changing people’s lives with his wife Adriana James.

Time-Line Therapy Benefits And Reasons To Use For Letting Go Of Negative Emotions

One of the biggest benefits for using Time-Line Therapy for letting go of negative emotions, is that most people can clear a life’s worth of negative emotion, in under one hour of treatment. Keeping learning that does matter, releasing negativity which does not matter.

The emotions dealt with during Time-Line Therapy treatment sessions are:

• Anger
• Sadness
• Fear
• Hurt
• Guilt

These five emotions are always dealt with in this order, which should never vary for any reason.

Timeline Therapy And Timing

When a person takes longer to let go of these emotions, it’s a sign they’re not ready to, or a sign the coach involved has built insufficient rapport to help lead them through the technique. The action in both cases is building more rapport, ensuring they give a resounding sign of readiness to let go, from the unconscious level.

Dealing With Anxiety

Anxiety, which is a future based emotion based on the perception of negative outcome, can be dealt with using Time Line Therapy. There is a relationship between negative old emotions, and limiting beliefs, which causes the incidence of anxiety on an unconscious level.

Dealing with anxiety takes a little extra time, though it is easy for skilled practitioners to help people let go of it. Then develop resources which establish belief structures that block future issues of anxiety.

Dealing With Trauma And PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)

Mixed effects have been reported with therapists using NLP to deal with trauma and PTSD. This is more about their level of expertise, and using NLP only.

When using both NLP and Time-Line Therapy consistent good effects have been reported by coaches, therapists and their clients for talking through and dealing with trauma and PTSD.

Initially, in the period of time immediately after the session, the client often feels tired, and emotion passing through them along with the desire to have had a session of Time-Line Therapy earlier. Within a day, usually having slept, they feel much lighter, more energetic, and their zest for life renewed. Many clients find their confidence increasing. Depression and other such conditions slip far into the past.

Emotional Baggage Disappears

Releasing negative emotions cleanses out emotional baggage, helping people feel happier, in turn bringing benefits to all areas of life so:

• Relationships become happier and more fulfilling
• Career and work become less stressful and more productive
• Business ventures go more smoothly and attract more clients
• Family life becomes more rewarding and less stressful
• Physical and psychological health are often observed to improve

Plus other positive benefits.

Making Goals And Dreams More Achievable With NLP And Time-Line Therapy

NLP and Time-Line Therapy do more than just release old emotion from memories. The combination of techniques makes future achievements easier too.

Creating successful future outcomes is relatively easy.

The coach involved takes the client through a set of questions expanding confidence which client’s have in their ability to create positive outcomes. Partly by ensuring goals and dreams are SMART.

Achievable And Realistic

These vary from person to person, though it would be impossible for someone over 25 to become an under 20’s champion. Periods of time are often key here, with things like training time often playing a part.

Timed

Refers to the exact timing of achievement, date and time.

Creating A Point Of Higher Effectiveness

When done properly, having cleaned out all negative emotions and root cause decisions that cause limitation, it’s highly effective as support for goal achievement.

High performing business people using the process within coaching sessions with their business coach move their businesses forward to higher levels rapidly. Breaking through barriers which had held back development and expansion. For people facing relationship challenges, timeline therapy quickly removes pain from memories of failed relationships that have resulted in depression and ongoing heartache.

This technique once known can be used in a very similar way to the 30 second visualization technique for coaching yourself into success.
