Philosophy of TPMTM


"Thought Pattern ManagementTM is not a medical process. Neither is it a psychological or therapeutic process, although it can be used to accomplish many of the same results desired through medical and psychological endeavors. Thought Pattern ManagementTM is the study and use of processes to educate and bring about change within the mind and the body.


Since the mind runs the functions of the body, when change is made within the mind, corresponding changes often occur within the body. Also, as mental pathways are cleared, many emotional and psychological problems simply go away. They cease producing the negative symptoms of illness.


* Through the principles and techniques of TPMTM, the mind/body connection becomes immediately evident. Every thought in the mind has a corresponding body response. Every movement of the body causes a corresponding response in the mind. One does not function independently of the other. This interplay of action and reaction follows set patterns developed over the lifetime of the individual. No two people have exactly the same interactive patterns. They are as individual as fingerprints. Fortunately, there are similarities of these patterns and this allows us to generalize the communication processes needed to bring about desired change."


Simply stated, TPM makes changes at the unconscious level of the mind - the level that runs the body, stores memory, manages the body chemistry, etc. This is analagous to the hard drive and mother board of the computer. NLP makes changes at the linguistic level - the level that runs the mind's software and input/output systems.
