Human Givens Brief Therapy
Introduction to 21st century therapy
Human givens therapy is
a modern no-nonsense approach to mental health. People are not seen as
broken, but as needing help to refocus on their goals and learn to apply
proven techniques with drive and optimism and appetite for life.
Emotionally driven
approaches to life satisfaction are self-defeating, as all that happiness
requires is frequent positive feelings that come from living naturally and
well. For instance, all the happiest people experience strong social
relationships. Money, while extremely important, is not strongly linked to
happiness.
Some experiences can
alter our attitudes forever, but most experiences, once their lessons have
been learnt, can be relegated to the past, and our innate strengths can be
developed to act as protection against future negative life events.
Positive emotions expand our capabilities for living a meaningful life,
while prolonged negative emotions restrict and constrict our possibilities.
In order to live
positively we have to identify and strengthen the things which expand and
reflect the best in human selfhood, and identify and reduce the source of
things which deaden the human spirit, and the people who condemn our
efforts to refine and express our best selves. Our situation has a very
powerful effect on us, so we have to monitor the hidden messages of our
environments, urban, social, temporal, and cultural and be on our guard to
hold onto our chosen value systems against the tyranny of authority figures,
criminality, corruption, greed, and other diminishing pressures in the
world.
Human Givens Therapy
aims to promote self-improvement, meaningful goals, mental clarity, good
feelings, good relationships, drive and confidence, and the ability to get in
touch with our peaceful inner core and relax at will.
As MindFields College
state on their flyer:
“Human Givens Therapy offers effective,
practical and fast help for people who are depressed, anxious, phobic, or
suffering from trauma, addiction, anger disorders, or relationship problems
that deals swiftly with mental and emotional distress in the here and
now.”
There is a growing body of documented
evidence that shows that Human Givens therapy is improving the quality of
people’s lives, often in dramatic and surprising ways, and with a
minimum of therapist involvement.
Our Key
Capability
The world is hanging by a thread,
and that thread is the human psyche
C. G. Jung
Our Key Capability is uniquely human:
we can modify our own nature. We can rediscover that we are learning
throughout life, that we can make improvements in our lives and
relationships, and, crucially, that we can smile, or even laugh. We can
adjust our outlook to the challenges of changing times. The aim is to keep
moving forward towards our goal, maintaining our sense of balance. Our
peace of mind stems from removing obstacles from our path, putting our
energy behind our solutions, and staying focused on what we want to
achieve.
Human Givens Therapy approaches the
treatment of psychological difficulties using a proven set of 'tools' which
include setting practical goals, rapidly releasing trauma and phobias,
building on existing strengths and resources, clarifying perceptions,
relaxation, and the use of story and metaphor. Always we seek to help the
person reclaim their power, and make the changes now which will work for
their benefit in the future.
The Key Capability Service

home office in Chesterton, Cambridge,
or travel to see people at their home (subject to a third person being
present).

Travel involved in home visits in the Cambridge area is costed at 50p mile.
