  • Anatomy of Changework Ep.5| Even more on Scope and Categorization
    2024/08/05

    In this episode of "The Anatomy of Changework," Rafa and I explore the concepts of scope and categorization in change work. We discuss the differences between digital (all-or-nothing) and analogical thinking, examining how these mindsets impact various fields, from elite sports to everyday life. Our conversation covers the role of flexibility in thinking, the use of metaphors in understanding experiences, and how shifting the scope or category of a problem can open up new perspectives. We also look at how these ideas apply to approaches like IEMT, Provocative Change Works, and metaphor work. Whether you're a practitioner or simply curious about personal development, we hope this discussion sparks new ideas and reflections on the change process.

  • Anatomy of Changework Ep. 1 | Unlocking the Power of Scope and Categorization in Changework
    2024/05/26

    In this premiere episode of "Anatomy of Changework," Rafa and Roni dive deep into the essential roles that scope and categorization play in facilitating personal change and transformation. They explore how these crucial concepts are utilized in various changework modalities, including Metaphors of Movement (MoM), Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and Provocative Change Works (PCW).


    Throughout the discussion, Rafa and Roni share insights, examples, and personal experiences that illuminate the power of scope and categorization in shaping our perceptions and emotional responses. Roni examines how adjusting the scope of an experience, such as the perceived distance of past and future events, can significantly impact an individual's emotional state and motivation. Rafa shares a profound personal example of how extending his future scope relieved anxiety during a challenging time in his life.


    The duo also explores the interplay between scope and categorization, with Roni demonstrating how a change in categorization, such as reframing a phobia as disgust rather than fear, can lead to lasting changes in behavior and emotional responses.


    Rafa and Roni draw upon a wide range of examples, from personal anecdotes to sports psychology and religious beliefs, to illustrate the universal nature of scope and categorization in human experience. They also discuss the differences between various changework modalities, such as the automatic changes in scope and categorization observed in IEMT compared to the more deliberate interventions used in NLP.


    Whether you are a changework practitioner seeking to deepen your understanding of these crucial concepts or an individual interested in personal growth and transformation, this episode offers valuable insights and practical examples that demonstrate the power of scope and categorization in shaping our lives.


    Join Rafa and Roni as they embark on this fascinating exploration of the world of changework and uncover the hidden mechanisms that drive lasting personal transformation.
