This program uses both empathy for your struggles and logic for problem-solving. Therefore, we believe in Motivational Interviewing (MI) and the Socratic Elenchus. We combine these in our own approach. Our Elenchus Elicitation is a goal-oriented process that not only elicits your ambivalences, but aims to reconcile the Friction between what you want and what is.

In step one of this method, we use MI’s empathetic approach (pathos) to support and validate the emotions that stem from the desires of your Inner World. We compare what you want or expect to what you are actually getting from the world (Shared Reality) currently. We elicit the pros of what feels good about your desires, and then we elicit the cons regarding what the pros cost you. We then clearly define the friction between the private and shared realities. It reveals a state of ambivalence where you may start to see unhealthy secondary gain patterns and other traps.

In step two, we use the elenchus (logos) to investigate how the desires of your private reality compare to the rigid rules of shared reality. We learn that to begin a compromise, we must manage expectations with logic. We sense that the world doesn’t react to willpower alone. There are physical laws in place, and while we may not agree with them, we must follow them. This step helps reveal specific, internal blockages or blind spots.

Finally, we come to the Elenchus Elicitation method, which bridges pathos and logos. In step three, we learn to reconcile the differences between the desires of your private reality and the actuality of our shared reality. You learn how to live with what you get from life by forming a new understanding, learning how to process emotions healthily, and doing so through your own power. By identifying the specific Power Traits of your personal power that need nurturing through achievable goals, you may bring yourself closer to a harmonic inner peace that helps you expand your perspectives with emotional and logical understanding.
