Time Line Therapy™ fs an especially fast and effective process for changing the chain of events leading to a certain set of unwanted behaviors or internal states. 1. Discover how your client organizes time. Note the direction of their Time Line . It will probably extend front to back, left to right or a 'V' for most people you work with. 2, Elicit the root cause — first event, 3. Have them float above their Time Line, 4. Note the submodalities of the Time Line. Make sure that the SMd's are similar for the past, present and future and there are no darks spots or missing areas. If they are not the same, you can change the SMd's so that they are the same brightness, and approximate color. 5. _ Have them go back into the past and find the first event. 6. Always preserve the learnings. “You learned many things from this experience, and I want you to those positive learnings in that special place you reserve r all such learnings.” 7. Make the necessary changes to the memory (or memories). You can remove the emotions, delete a limiting decision, or just have them remove the memory. To remove a memory using the phobia model, have them run the pattern until the memory is destroyed. Say, "I want you to run it until you can’t get the memory back.” 8. If youremoved a memory, replace it with a neutral or positive memory. Page tof? (© 1908, 1992 Tad James be Advanced Neuro Dynamic ne.10. 11. 12. 13. Continue steps 4-7, using the earliest memory available, until the unwanted state or behavior is not accessible. Have the client come back to now. Test. "We have created many new behaviors today, and I want you to ‘be sure that the new behaviors are agreeable to alll parts inside.” Future pace. “I want you to go out into the future to an unspecified time in the future that would be most appropriate, and imagine a time when something like this could happen again, and how do you react, Have them float back to now, and float into their Time Line, making sure it is arranged in the way that is most comfortable. Page 2012 © 1988, 1992 Tad James & Advanced Neuro Dynamics, inc. TIME LINE THERAPY™ "If I were to ask your unconscious mind, where your past is, and where your future is, I have an idea that you might say, "It's from right to left, or front to back, or up to down, or Ne in some direction from you in relation to your body. And it's not your conscious concept that I'm interested in, it's your unconscious. So, if! were to ask your unconscious mind where's your past, to what direction would you point?” (Always note all analog behavior in elicitation) “And your future, what direction would you point if I asked your unconscious mind, where's your future?" NOTE: As you elicit the Time Line, make sure that you understand that however your client does it (how they organize the past and future) is for your client. Make no value judgements about the organization of your client's Time Line until you find out if it works for your client. Page 10f2 (© 1992 Advanced Neuro Dynamics, In. de Tad JamesTIME LINE THERAPY™ Maintain the relationship with the unconscious mind so as to discover the unconscious storage and organization. 1, Remember something that happened 1 week ago. 2. Notice where it comes from (or goes to). 3. Repeat 1 & 2 for 1 month ago, 1 year ago, 5 years ago, and 10 years ago. 4. Repeat 1 & 2 for 1 month in the future, 1 year in the future, 5 years in the future, and 10 years in the future. The arrangement may be linear or it may not, Allow your language to discover and do not install the Time Line for your client. Page 2012 (© 1992 Advanced Neuro Dynamics, Ine.

Do you notice that they imply a line?” If no: “Well, could you notice that?" If still no: “Is your past arranged by location, for example, where you lived?" If yes: "How would it look if, for purposes of this process, it were stretched out in a line?" “Good, now when I say line, I don't mean to imply only visual, because in a moment I'm going to ask you to float up above that line, and by float, I also mean as sounds floating on the wind, or floating in the bathtub, or visually. However you float up above your time line is perfect. So, can you just float up above your time line and float back into the past (pause). Are you there?" “And now, float out into your future (pause). Are you there?" “Now, float up higher. Float so high that your time line becomes one inch long."(pause) “Good, float back to now, and float down into now and come back in the room."(pause) “How was that?" © 1992 Advanced Neuro Dynamics, Ine. & Tad James“What is the question that I can ask which by the very nature of the presuppositions in the question itself will cause the client to make the greatest amount of change by having to accept the presuppositions inherent in the question?” -Tad James KEYS TO AN ACHIEVABLE OUTCOME Ask yourself..."How is it possible that I (they) don't have it now?"

Be sure you are before the first event. Ask client: 2. “Are you before the first event?" “Is there an event earlier than this one? Go back before the FIRST one." 3. Must be totally agreeable to let go of the emotion. Ask client: “What is there to learn from this event? If you learn 5. this, won't it be better than having the old emotions? How can you get the same benefit that the emotions provided when you let them go?” (Use this reframe or any other reframe on the PARTS REFRAMES page.) (© 1992 Advanced Neuro Dynamics, Inc. Tad James Leaming: "What is there to have learned from this event, the learning of which will allow you to easily let go of the emotions? Won't it be better to preserve the learnings than the emotions? But, if you let go of the emotions and preserve the learnings you will have learned what you needed.” Protection/Safety: “The negative emotion of ______ doesn't protect you." (f fear or anger, mention flight or fight) “In fact negative emotions aren't safe for the body. Each negative emotion can contribute to the following types of health problems: Heart attack Sadness Weakened Immune System Fear Excessive stress, Guilt Lowered healing energy Conflict Cancer “Won't you be a lot safer if you let go of the emotions and preserve the learnings about taking care of yourself?” Prime Directives: “Not letting go of this emotion is in direct conflict with the highest Prime Directive of the unconscious mind, which is to preserve the body. This emotion, though getting results, does not preserve the body; it hurts the body. Wouldn't it be better to let go of the repressed emotion and get the same results in some other way?” (© 1992 Advanced Neuro Dynamics, Inc. de Tad Jarnes.TIME LINE THERAPY™ NOT FOR TRAUMA Procedures: 1.

Clear up the past. (Negative emotions and limiting decisions.) 3. Check Ecology. “Here are the consequences of shifting the Time Line (explain). Is it OK with your unconscious mind to make this shift, and allow it to remain, and to be comfortable?" 4, Rotate Time Line.
