What is the EMETT method?
In a nutshell: it is a structured method that first helps you gain greater self-awareness as it walks you through the thoughts and feelings which elicited non-productive responses.
Then it provides a list of hands-on Tools to help "re-program your internal software" to more productive thoughts & actions to take when faced with similar challenges in the future.
Can you give an example?
Note: This sample is of a woman with small children - but EMETT can help in many other situations in various stages of life.
On Sunday, T.R's kids make a mess, TR is overwhelmed by the amount of work this adds to her already overwhelming work load, yells at her kids for making the mess, and then feels like a failure for yelling at her kids, and decides she really has to work on not doing that again.
The next day, the kids make a mess, TR is overwhelmed by the amount of work this adds to her already overwhelming work load, yells at her kids for making the mess, and then feels like a failure for yelling at her kids, and decides she really has to work on not doing that again.
• Continuation 1: And so the cycle continues (for the next 10-20 years depending on the size of T.R's family & the strength of her vocal cords....).
• Continuation 2: TR joins an EMETT group, and learns a 4 step method through which she discovers what her insecure thoughts are, and shares her feelings of frustration, helplessness and failure with a supportive group (who do not interupt or offer advice). She then chooses from a list of thoughts and actions either
(a) to solve the problem (if possible) or
(b) that can help her stay calm & accepting of reality, despite the mess,
and in either case, sees what middot she can strengthen while implementing new patterns of thoughts & actions.
How long is each session?
Around an hour & 15 minutes, depending on the size of the group.
What is the duration of the group?
We recommend participating for at least 3 months to learn the basics, afterwards, like any new skill, the more you practice the better you get.
What is Positive Experiential programming?
It's a combination of relaxation and guided imagery to internalize the tools.
When is the group starting?
BeH" in November.
