NEW TERMINOLOGY . . . EXPLAINING ONE BY ONE! BBASEL

• emotional brain training
• evidence-based research
• improvements
• neuroscience

 Hi BBASEL,
 
I'm go grateful you are back and shared that you feel insecure about the new terminology. The Cycle Tool is the same, just a slightly different use for the old Cycles about some unreasonable basic expectations and the more powerful circuits that were stored during times of being really overwhelmed. The kits include Imagines, My Story (emotional trash), skills to stay balanced, and lifestyle changes, as always. It's just that we have made them all more in sinc with science, and our experience has been -- more powerful.
 
Here's a short list of the new terminology and the old. The purpose is to reframe some issue or problem for what it really is - a wire - then apply the tool that will get you the best results as quickly as possible. The same applies that getting into a group or telegroup, the moving through the kits brings the best results.
 
Here is the short list:

 
OLD: A Solution
NEW: Wired at 1
WHY? Wired at 1 describes what our goal is. A solution sounded presumptuous to some people.
 
OLD: Basic Expectations
NEW: Stress Circuit
WHY:  Those expectations are wires that we can set about rewiring!
 
OLD: Tender Morsel/ Tender Message
NEW:  Connecting Message
WHY: Men objected to the other term, and half the human race matters!
 
OLD: Buddy
NEW: Connection or Connection Buddy
WHY:  Buddy sounded a bit old fashioned, and really the purpose was to connect and practice the tools.
 
OLD: 1-2-3 Eating 
NEW:  Food at 1  
WHY: Concerns that 1-2-3 eating sounded like it was for children.
 
OLD:  6 rewards (integration, balance, sanctuary, intimacy, vibrancy and spirituality) plus freedom from external solutions.
NEW: 7 rewards (sanctuary, authenticity, vibrancy, integrity, intimacy, spirituality and freedom.
WHY: Balance is not a higher order/eudonic rewards that gives a neurotransmitter pulse. Balance is on the way to a higher order reward. Many people were not clear what integration meant (racial?). And so we split integration into authenticity (feeling whole, self-accepting and authentic) and integrity (being of purpose). Freedom has been added because that IS a reward, that sense of not having the false attachments/external solutions.
 
OLD:  Kits that were 11 chapters and 320 pages, gradually rewiring brain.
NEW: Kits that are 6 chapters and 160 pages, gradually rewiring brain and focusing on one reward, with focused tools to create more of it.
WHY: Better able to experience a reward when one focuses on it. Only the most powerful tools, including survival circuits were included. Quicker, more powerful! 
 
OLD: Kits included 1 journal and 4 audio CDs, plus pocket reminder and membership.
NEW:  Kits include 1 journal and 12 video clips (4 to 9 minutes each), pdf downloads of journals immediately available, and hard copy of journal shipped within 24 hours, and audio downloads. 
WHY: More green. People learn visually, so need videos. Available on website immediately, no need to wait to receive it.
 
Those are the shifts. Thank you for asking and all questions appreciated. There was a lot of essential pain in making the shift, but the reward is that we are doing our best to align with science as it emerged to get better results. Our EBT Practice Based Research Group is working toward more research and being strongly evidence based by 2020. We are committed to doing our part of making magic within the system with the method. A new article is about to be published on EBT: Rewiring the Stress Response: A new paradigm for health care.
In JOY!
