Margaret Mary Dizon (or Margie) is tenacious and passionate about not just living but enjoying the journey at the same time. She is determined and unwavering in her belief that everyone can hit a ‘reset’ button to liberate and empower themselves, to be free from the negatives of the past and be in a position to commit, unrestrainedly, to the enjoyment of their future. Her dedication to psychology and community work spans over fifteen years in Australia. Margie is a self-professed existentialist; a Trainer and Master Practitioner for Hypnotherapy, Time Line Therapy® and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), and an internationally accredited Instructor and Trainer for clinicians and professionals with the American Board of Hypnotherapy (ABH), Time Line Therapy Association and the American Board of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (ABNLP).
Integrative and multi-displinary technique for the mind and body
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) combined with Clinical Hypnosis (also known as Cognitive Hypnotherapy), Time Line Therapy® techniques and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) uses evidence-based practice and the biopsychosocial model in dealing with past experiences affecting your cognition and awareness. Negative experiences may or may not hold you back from enjoying your present (and future) life. Hence, the integrative technique primarily focuses on the interactions among the brain, mind, body, and behaviour, with the intent to use the mind to affect physical functioning and to promote good health and positive well-being. Margie insists that from her prior training and experience, standard CBT alone is effective for healing, but costs far too much time and energy.
“Of course, CBT is the gold standard with dealing with disorders like anxiety and depression. However, many fail to recognise that it costs far too much time (and energy) in our client’s lives. One on one, hourly sessions delivered once or twice a month is far too long. Anyone can heal after twenty, individual CBT sessions but why should we take years to deliver this? We need to recognise that intensive therapy in one sitting whilst using integrative methods is the best way to go. I still do not understand why so many practitioners deliver therapy the “old fashioned” way when clearly clients are getting impatient and re-traumatised talking about significant emotional events again and again and again! No wonder many clients ask their therapist (and themselves) why the healing takes so long, if any healing occurs at all!! I am very surprised looking back at my prior training as we were taught how to deliver therapy yet failing to coach our clients how to actually ‘get over’ whatever it was they needed to get over with! How dare we say to our clients, ‘You will heal, you will get over it’ without actually coaching them how to? Finally, Cognitive Hypnotherapy combined with Time Line Therapy® techniques and NLP is here to make that change. We need to let the world know what actually works and what doesn’t.”
What is this integrative approach good for?
Clinical Hypnosis in conjunction with CBT is an empirically supported treatment for anxiety disorders including phobias and fears, excessive stress, public speaking anxiety, social anxiety/phobia, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and generalised anxiety disorder. It can provide analgesia, rapid reduction of stress, mood improvement, reduction for the need of opiods for patients with pain. It can also heal recurrent headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, sleep loss, promote weight loss, and cessation of smoking. Time Line Therapy® and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) complement the different techniques in removing negative emotions, traumas, re-framing past experiences, removing limiting decisions, integrating conflicting parts of the self, anchoring positive emotions and redesigning your now and your future, values alignment at the family or business setting, negotiation skills, improving sales process as well as improving deep love strategies.
