Program

Introducing the Mental Resistance lab. Session that covers explanations on program structure and intervention process.

This session is about interpreting and discussing the results of Questionnaire #1. Finding out the individual psychological ingredients and degree of self-knowledge that will be the starting point to begin the journey. 

This session is aimed at rewriting history. To intervene those inner stories that got engraved  in us through the often turbulent years of childhood and adolescence. These stories are inside an interpretative frame that might play a negative role in the adult self. The main goal in this phase is to reframe the most corrosive content and re-frame it into a coherent story.

This session connects one's personal story with the current state of affairs in order to sketch plans of action. The central question is how to imagine potential lives in accordance to our personal values.

"If you know the why, you live any how". This session is about finding out what is the participant's idea of the meaning of life and what could be moved around internally in order to create a better orientation towards the desired outcomes.

Suffering is inescapable, however, the reason behind it is not the same for everyone, what makes one individual suffer might not make another one suffer, there are often unconscious motives to define, accept and cope with suffering. In this module we use Russ Harris's 'The happiness trap' (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and Viktor Frankl's 'Man's search for meaning' as foundational books in the search to find out what might be a constructive context for suffering. 

One of the foundational concepts of the Mental Resistance Lab. The ability to lower the ego and accept personal fault is invaluable. Personal responsibility is the main driver in finding responses to life's difficulties and placing power in one self. It does not matter who is at fault if one takes action and acts a solution. 

Discipline is internal and cannot be purchased; therefore, cultivating it and being able to keep finding it is essential for life change activation. This module will concentrate on the idea that discipline is indispensable if one wants to provoke and sustain change and impose the necessary cadence for obtaining results.

This module discusses human potential using Adam Grant's book 'Hidden potential' and  Anders Ericsson's seminal book 'Peak'.

Courage, resolve, determination,  perseverance... grit. The main purpose of this module is to describe and discuss the idea of mental resistance, its definition, origin, and most importantly, how can we develop it.

This exercise consists in capturing the mental recordings that people play to themselves in their own head; this is achieved through self-evaluation, journaling and conscious interaction with our perception mechanisms. The intention is to get to know the most repeating entries in one's mind and to document known and unknown voices that live inside and talk to ourselves, specially if these voices provide unsolicited negative advice. 

In this exercise we will analyze what are our main imprints of early childhood that define us who we are as a person in the present. Through exercises we document main events, life epochs and foundational memories. This exercise of self-evaluation is necessary on the grounds that past events might still play a role in today's behaviors.

In this exercise we document all possibly traumatic events in our life. It is fundamental to have a map of all possible events in our life that might still be affecting us and documenting when they occurred is invaluable. This exercise will cast in place the memories and context of those events.

Limiting beliefs are the subconscious drivers of our fears. They are the self-fulfilling prophecies that weigh down our progress. This exercise aims to record the quantity and efficacy of the limiting beliefs we might carry with us.

This exercise will attempt to record the negative ego-driven beliefs we might carry inside that are contradicting our internal value system.

Exercise aimed at identifying a domain of life to which we could claim responsibility and therefore seek the betterment of that specific condition.

Memories are pieces of imagery recorded in our mind. This exercise helps to reimagine the meaning and weight of a specific memory. This works by reframing the actors that play certain roles and the consequences of their actions.
