Rewiring Cognitions and Emotions

“What is it? Rewiring is an individual or group approach to psychologicaltherapy based on a combination model of CBT, psychotherapy andmastery learning. It is chiefly concerned with the relationship betweenoptimism, learning, successful patterns of behaviour, and the subjectiveexperiences and patterns of thought underlying them. This therapyeducates people in self-awareness, healthy thinking, and effectivecommunication, and helps them to change patterns of mental andemotional behaviour in a very short time-span.
Rewiring works on the neuroplasticity of the brain. It has been shown to beeffective with adolescents and adults. The object of the training is to re-educate the brain and encourage a change in mental state, thuschallenging the brain to function more effectively. The scripts that areprogrammed into our brains throughout life can be changed through thisprocess, and organized into new scripts for us to achieve specific goals inlife and raise the level of neurotransmitters in our brains”. –
