Lives are shaped by the family of origin, significant others and defining life events. These significant sources impact on perceptions, emotions, thinking and behaviour. Safe family environments and secure family attachments help to create healthy functioning. However unsafe family environments create maladaptive ways of coping with the pressures of life. The person processes their world through their sense realm which includes what they see, hear, taste, touch, and smell. This information is processed by their emotions and is relayed through a short-term memory system and evaluated by the intelligent, thinking mechanism of the brain. Therefore a person perceives their world via the sensory realm (which includes the initial formulation of language and comprehension), the emotions, and finally the thinking brain. This lightning speed process activates reactions in their physical body and behaviour responses to their perceived world. The transformation processes are activated when the intelligent thinking brain becomes the regulator and manager of the senses, feelings, short-term memory, self-talk and thinking. The person then evaluates and re-assesses perceptions of people, situations and events in their world.

Transformation Processes Involve:
• Exploring self-value, self-acceptance and the authentic self
• Discovering perceptions received from the sense realm
• Rewiring levels of anxiety, loss and injustices
• Understanding anger, frustration and reactive patterns
• Being aware of the language of short-term memory
• Evaluating and assessing thinking, beliefs and self-talk
• Confronting lies and exaggerated, distorted thinking
• Changing reactive patterns and dysfunctional behaviour
• Activating truth and spiritual transformation
• Exploring feelings and the reality of these, related to situations
