4 weeks vs. Months and Years of mental health treatment The greatest tragedy in humankind is not being abandoned by your loved ones, but that you abandoned yourself!
When you doubt yourself and put other people’s needs before yours, and when you engage in self-destructive behavior, you have abandoned yourself! This is the reason why I created my signature therapy, “Inner Twin.” My job is to remind you of the truth. The truth is that you are absolutely powerful beyond measure, and whatever you want in your life, you can make it happen! No one can take that power away from you! Unfortunately, in the current mental health system, you may spend tons of money, and years in therapy and not get the results you desire! Indeed, it is time for a big revolution in the mental health world! At Zen Institute, we can help you achieve your desired outcome in as little as four weeks! The variety of clients who have completed our program includes people who had never received psychotherapy treatment and people who had been in treatment for years. The feedback we have received since day one, which was 12 years ago has always been the same: “I can’t believe it works!” “It needs to be made available to everyone in this world!” We utilize the shortest amount of treatment time (4 weeks) to produce the most amazing desired outcome! Since we opened up Zen Institute, the feedback from our alumni is that 100% of them would recommend their loved ones to come for treatment! Here is what makes our treatment different from others: #1. Inner twin therapy: It is indeed the missing link in traditional therapy – The powerful foundation of self-healing work! Once you connect to your authentic self, your higher self, and tap into your inner power, you will be able to build this solid self-confidence, that will always stay with you no matter what is happening around you! #2. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT): Learn about the combination of Eastern and Western philosophy, change your thoughts; change your life! #3. Dialectical Behavior Therapy: (DBT): it is focused on Mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. #4. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing: (EMDR) This is a very powerful treatment modality that can help you let go of unresolved issues and past traumas! This program is uniquely tailored for your individual needs, which cannot be achieved in treatment that is mainly geared towards group work. Over the years, we have been asked to open up Zen Institute branches in New York City and San Francisco. As we continue to serve the world, our goal is to offer this program to everyone who is in pain and suffering! Indeed, you are not here to compete; you are here to connect! You are not here to suffer; you are here to celebrate! Celebrate the fact that you are absolutely powerful beyond measure! www.myzeninstitute.com 520-222-9361 From EMDR to meditation, I did so much and was able to finally let go of many things that not only haunted me, but kept me in a prison which was only constructed by me. When anxiety attacks happened, I had an array of techniques you (Wen Chi) taught me to use which helped tremendously!" ~Trevor S.~
What is DBT? Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a therapy designed to help people change patterns of behavior that are not helpful, such as self-harm, suicidal thinking, and substance abuse. This approach works towards helping people increase their emotional and cognitive regulation by learning about the triggers that lead to reactive states and helping to assess which coping skills to apply in the sequence of events, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to help avoid undesired reactions. DBT assumes that people are doing the best they can but are either lacking the skills or are influenced by positive or negative reinforcement that interferes with their ability to function appropriately. DBT combines standard cognitive behavioral techniques for emotion regulation and reality-testing with concepts of distress tolerance, acceptance, and mindful awareness largely derived from Buddhist meditative practice.* Who can benefit from DBT? Although DBT was originally created for individuals with borderline-personality disorder, it has significantly evolved, proving valuable for a much wider range of people struggling with a variety of mental health and relationship concerns. DBT is often used with individuals who suffer from depression, anxiety, codependency, and alcohol/drug abuse, to name a few. If you are still unsure if you could benefit from DBT, perhaps ask yourself this question – Do I have behaviors or ways of thinking that are potentially becoming harmful to my wellbeing? If you answered yes, or even maybe, then incorporating DBT skills could absolutely be a great approach to providing some relief. Essentially, if you want to improve your quality of life and connections with others, you are a good fit for DBT group! What will I learn about in DBT group at Zen Institute? Learning DBT is like learning a new language. Yet, Zen Institute has created a DBT group that is focused on simplicity and effectiveness. The groups are small, to promote safety, trust, and open discussion. Participants are taught one skill at a time. Each skill is coordinated with a worksheet to reinforce the material. Participants are encouraged to share life experiences and learn from each other. The group is divided into the four major modules of DBT: 1. Mindfulness Mindfulness will challenge you to accept negative thoughts, feelings, or situations as they are, rather than concentrating on how you might want them to be. Mindfulness is a great tool to help you stay in the present and be non-judgmental toward yourself and others. 2. Emotion Regulation Emotion regulation will help you identify and understand the functions of your emotions, and provide you with tools to process overwhelming emotions and channel them into positive action. 3. Distress Tolerance Distress tolerance provides you with tools for self soothing and coping with crisis situations in a positive way. 4. Interpersonal Effectiveness The interpersonal effectiveness module will teach you how to get what you want in your relationships. You will learn to speak up your truth, set healthy boundaries, and create loving relationships. DBT is a unique style of group therapy. The tools learned in DBT group can serve you for a lifetime.
