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

    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.
