I did learn CBT in 1980 and we definitely dug for deeply held beliefs and then consciously set up fail safe experiments to disconfirm the irrational beliefs. We also did imagery (mental experiments) to do the same as well. There may have been spontaneous holding of both beliefs simultaneously (one of which was in error) because we always gently inquired about how much did the person believe the new belief. oftentimes we only got a few percent change, but once it started over the next few weeks it transformed rapidly.

Hi Dr. Olds, I'm not sure if you intended to have this video publicly available yet (it was available under your playlists but seemingly not under videos), but it was excellent! I found your channel while trying to learn more about IFS, and your series and Q&A's were extremely informative and helpful. I've regularly checked back hoping to find that you've made more videos, so I'm beyond excited for this series. Being the sort of person you alluded to, needing some of the science to feel more comfortable/feel like I'm understanding, I find the way you weave that into your explanations very helpful, and I feel like I can see you using the "right brain, left brain, right brain" technique you described. I appreciate how you described the similarities/overlap between coherence therapy and IFS. I'd be interested to hear from you at some point in the future something like a categorization of common modalities that function well together and those that contradict each other in a way that make them incompatible. Keep up the great work, and I'm excited to join your Patreon when it's ready!
Your teaching is so clear. Thank you for sharing this information freely. I am excited to see what you share next. I would love to learn more on how to format and access implicit limbic memories for conscious recall for juxtaposition 🙏.
Check out the book Unlocking The Emotional Brain (2012) by Ecker et al. This is probably the best introduction to Coherence Therapy. The book is being updated in about March or April of this year, so if you can find a used copy for now you can review the basic ideas and wait for the new one to come out before buying. The first few chapters of the book go over the theory, the later chapters present examples and talk about how different therapies can incorporate memory reconsolidation.
I've been doing IFS parts work with a group that meets weekly. From the material and presenter I understood fairly early that through my young made early conclusions about myself and others that I didn't know what to do about. I didn't know how to help them. This sounds like it can really help. I'm looking forward to the rest of the additional videos. Thank you
IFS works. Seems to me like Weekly Group did not get the basic part of IFS: that there are no bad parts and our urge to help ourselves is Manager and Firefighter being over-active. Not knowing how to help conclusions about ourselves due to Self Referential Thinking. This means - we cannot know better or more - since we are bathing ourselves in Confirmation Bias. The issues we have are calling for us to break the ice and see external world and reality - instead of fixing ourselves. 👍💘
What a fantastic video Dr. Tori! This is one of our favorite methods of experiential psychotherapy so it's wonderful to have your videos coming out to explain it to everyone!
So excited by the possibilities of coherence therapy. I've spent almost a decade in CBT, off and on. While it's given me helpful tools and relief, I haven't accessed and transformed so many of my lingering destructive core beliefs. It feels like I've just stayed on the surface instead of diving down to dig. Thank you for explaining this so clearly and accessibly.
I missed out on all of the live chat opportunities for this one. I have already watched your earlier videos on this topic so I knew I really needed more and wondered how others might feel about it. For me so far, knowing just isn't doing yet. I look forward to the deeper dive....💜🤔💜
Super helpful explanation! This highlights how compassionate the idea of coherence is, that our systems are so complex, and that we're primed towards healing. Amazing.
Wow. This is so intuitive, so much so that I'm trying to do this using mindfulness and journaling. The Coherence idea might reinvigorate my practice as there's a therapeutic outcome rather than just taking notes.
@DrToriOlds hi there! I really appreciate the way that you practice, think about, and share your work! I think it’s wonderful what you’ve created on RU-vid :) I’m not sure if you’re already familiar with the approach, but if not, I wanted to put the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) on your radar as an approach you might really resonate with. I think that it weaves together a lot of what you passionately share on your channel in an elegant and sophisticated way. Either way, thank you and warm wishes from Western Massachusetts!
Coherence Therapy is great until you actually want to do it with a therapist and then realize there's literally only about a dozen in the world and they are booked months in advance.
I'm learning coherence therapy right now. I'm blending it with the Emotional trance method. It connects the heart and the head. It's very simple 3step process. Investigate when the problem occurs. This leads to finding the unconscious Emotional Learning that is driving all the unwanted symptoms of the EL. Then create a mismatch experience or find the mismatch from the clients previous experiences. Repeat the mismatch. This erases the Emotional triggers. You may then be in those senarios that used trigger you and you will not have any reaction. You're free of the past holding you back.
Try to find a therapist first of all that does it and then consider the $150 a session they usually charge. This is out of reach for the people who really need it. I’m all for it but the price is insane.
I am training with Tori! She is taking the responsibility of teaching so many therapists! Don’t worry! Soon there will be so many therapists who can help! I’ll be one of them. But in the mean time her videos are an incredible resource!
That's what I was coming here to ask. I keep looking for therapists but can't seem to find any. I also can't find any sources to guide me to do it myself. If anyone has suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated 🙏
Hi Dr Tori , I love your vid here. May i very kindly suggest that when you are speaking of a type of thearpy like IFS ,that i know for me it would be really helpful if you actually said Internal family systems or CBT Cognetive behavoral thereapy at least once. Only because thru my own therapy experiances i had no idea what those meant then i had to stop and ask and have my therapist write that down .Which was fine and also and good for me but my ADHD , Attention defiicit/hyeractivity disorderd brain goes "what" ! and in the moment i have lost my train of thought. I have had EMDR Eye movement desensitization and reprocess therapy ( mouthful)! lol. That therapy was amazingly life changing on many levels by the way. You know i wish more paople would choose therapy as a help to oneself.I know people have trama and self awareness and self love and listening to my inner self or inner child has been very comforting. Please keep sharing you work with us you have a gift . Terapist that make a good conection with people are a lovely blessing. At least mine sure has been ,some have not ,but when that happens it`s really cool.
Thank you so much for all your amazing content! As an experienced integrative CBT therapist utilising IFS and Focusing, I struggle to see how deeper core belief/schema work differs from Coherence therapy (as you already mentioned!) . Would you recommend taking the Coherence Therapy training? Would it add depth to my practice? Thank you :))
