The Lefkoe Methodis based on the notion that all of our behavior and much of what we feel is the result of our beliefs. It is an explicit, reproducible technique that allows people to identify the beliefs responsible for dysfunctional behavioral or emotional patterns, and then eliminate those beliefs. When all the beliefs responsible for any given pattern have been eliminated, the pattern disappears.

No systematic effort has ever been made to market these processes-until now. We've only been able to train a few people at a time to use TLM, so there are just a few people certified to use TLM with clients. If everyone knew how effective TLM is we'd have waiting lists a mile long. This actually happened a few years ago. Honestly, we feel it's a waste to market something and then not be able to provide it to so many. See similar questions...

By returning to the experiences that led to a given belief (what we observed or heard) and realizing that the belief is only one possible interpretation of the experiences, in other words, "a truth" rather than "the truth", the belief will disappear. It will disappear when we recognize there is no meaning in the world, that any given belief is only one possible meaning for what we saw that exists only in our mind. See similar questions...

The Lefkoe Methodhas been used with over 1,000 people to eliminate such dysfunctional patterns as eating disorders, chronic depression, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorders, the inability to express feelings, obsessing about what others think of you, defensiveness, workaholism, controlling behavior, never being satisfied, entering and staying in abusive relationships, the inability to make romantic relationships work, procrastination, and negative feelings of fear, anxiety, guilt and hostilit.

Most people answer 5 to 20 percent of the time. Many people reply, "Only once, and I've never done that well since." The next question to answer is: If you can play at a 10 sometimes, why can't you do it more frequently? You obviously have the physical skills and ability or you wouldn't have been able to do it that one time. See similar questions...

Cognitive therapies have two major elements: (1) changing beliefs by challenging the validity of the evidence that the client gives to support them and (2) getting the client to agree to act consistently with an alternative belief to test its possible validity. Regarding point one, in The Lefkoe Method the current belief is not given up because one comes to see that it's wrong, because it's not true, because it's illogical, because it doesn't make sense, and/or because it's self defeating.

Norman Cousins has pointed out: "If you can reduce the depression that almost invariably affects cancer patients, you can increase the body's own capacity for combating malignancies." In his book, Head First, Cousins summarized research which showed that "depression is a demonstrated cause of physical ill health, including deleterious effects on the immune system.

Morty is the president and founder of The Lefkoe Institute, formerly known as the Decision Maker Institute, which began in 1985 after Morty developed the first of the many revolutionary processes that make up TLM. All of the other certified facilitators have been trained by Morty personally. They all have years of experience in helping people from all walks of time get rid of the fear of public speaking as well as make other changes in their lives. See similar questions...

Almost anyone can use The Lefkoe Method. Using it to eliminate beliefs does not require a high level of intelligence or psychological awareness. We have facilitated people of all ages, from children as young as six, to adults in their seventies. We have worked with people at all levels of psychological awareness, from psychoanalysts who had undergone considerable therapy, to people who rarely were introspective and never had thought about why they did what they did.

Everyone's brain produces electricity and brain-waves of different frequencies. Different types of brain waves are associated with different mental states. People with attention problems produce and abundance of slow waves and less fast wave activity. A sudden burst of slow wave activity - Alpha or Theta in the middle of a task may indicate the individual being tuned out for that moment in time. Concentration is improved by training the person to increase fast wave activity (SMR or BETA). See similar questions...

In conventional surgery a long incision is made to gain entry into the abdominal cavity and operate. This result in increased post- operative pain, longer stay in hospital, delayed recovery, long and ugly scars, respiratory problems, higher chance of wound infection, higher chance of incisional hernia, delayed feeding after surgery. The incidence of all these is dramatically reduced by laparoscopic surgery. See similar questions...

I have written this in such a way, where you can do this alone if that is what you choose to do. I will always encourage you to do what you believe works best for you. This is your life! Meanwhile, why not consider giving yourself the gift of love, support and connection with others? You don’t have to do this alone. Most of us have turned to food often out of a deep sense of loneliness and isolation. You are not alone in this. In the U.S. See similar questions...

organizations behavior, just like that of individuals, is consistent with its beliefs. In organizations the beliefs are known collectively as the culture, which can be defined as the beliefs about what is required for the organization to survive and succeed. The culture gets institutionalized in an organization's policies, practices, procedures, systems, and structure. It is difficult, if not impossible, for an organization to implement any strategy inconsistent with its culture. See similar questions...

When the belief disappears, there is usually an observable change in clients' bodies and demeanor. They look (and usually report that they feel) lighter and relieved of a heavy burden. this point clients discover that they are not the sum total of their beliefs, such as, I am someone who isn't good enough or I am someone who doesn't trust people?they are the creator of those beliefs.

Although a few people have told me they have used The Lefkoe Method Belief Process on themselves successfully, most people will not be able to. For most people their beliefs are so "the truth" that it is difficult to get outside them sufficiently to follow all the steps of The Lefkoe Belief Process, especially the one that requires you to find other possible interpretations for the events that led to the belief. It is easier for someone to facilitate someone else in The Lefkoe Method. See similar questions...

The Standard Days Method is a new, simple method of family planning that was developed by the Institute for Reproductive Health at Georgetown University. The Institute developed a computer model, based on data from the World Health Organization, and determined that women who usually have menstrual cycles between 26 and 32 days long are potentially fertile ? or able to get pregnant ? on days 8 through 19 of their cycles. See similar questions...

Actually, it's very different. The rhythm method involves having exact information about the last 6 menstrual cycles and every month making complex calculations ? adding and subtracting ? to figure out which days in the current cycle you're likely to get pregnant. And the rhythm method has never actually been tested in a well-designed efficacy study. The Standard Days Method on which CycleBeads are based, is simple ? it doesn't involve any calculations, and it is the same every cycle. See similar questions...

EEG feedback training has been used for over 20 years. Improved instrumentation in the last few years has allowed the procedure to be more widely used. The feedback techniques used at the ADD Centre evolved from those developed at the University of Tennessee by Joel Lubar, Ph. D. More 700 centres provide neurofeedback in the USA. . In Canada, research and training has been done at the University of Alberta in Edmonton since 1991 through their Cognitive Re-regulation Program. See similar questions...
