“The vocabulary of one’s self-criticism is so impoverished and clichéd. We are at our most stupid in our self-hatred.”

― Adam Phillips, Psychologist and Writer.

“When I look at my life I realise that the mistakes I have made, the things I really regret, were not errors of judgement but failures of feeling.”

What is change, is it possible, and do most of us even really want it?

These are a few of the fascinating question that we investigate using the processes and perspectives that make up The Undoing.

When things are not going as we would like them to be, it’s easy to get sucked into a feeling of being desperate for change. Yet the familiar thoughts, feelings and ways of being are comforting and can be compelling when at their most intense. No matter how we may recognise they are not helpful, they also feel somehow precious.

FAQs

The Undoing/ Sedona Method differs from guided meditation by focusing on releasing emotional energy through specific questions and acknowledgments, rather than following a narrative or visualization.

Because they follow a structure that you can learn and then use for yourself at any time, these processes are more practical. You can use them in any situation – even when surrounded by people or in the middle of a crisis. 

Although the focus of the processes we do here are similarly on what’s here, now, it’s a more active practice than mindfulness. 

While mindfulness emphasizes observing thoughts without judgment, the Sedona Method specifically restores our natural ability to release emotional discomfort, tension and internal belief systems. 

As soon you begin the process, things will generally start to unwind straight away. As you work through it, either alone, listening to a recording or working with a facilitator, the tension will often dissolve completely.

However, our minds like to produce the same old habitual thoughts as they have always done, so although some states can be let go of and never come back, we generally have to repeat the processes to maintain our ease and comfort. As you practice these methods, the letting go will happen more easily and the gains will be more robust and easier sustain – eventually becoming your default state.

If you experience an increase in tension, simply stop the process, and let things be. Force is never necessary or appropriate.

To practice the Sedona Method, you will need a reasonably robust and stable sense of self. It is also very beneficial to maintain an open state of mind as best you can.

The Sedona Method is not therapy. If you have a mental health condition or are currently experiencing intense emotional distress, please consult a mental health professional before practicing the Sedona Method.

If your distress is such that you are a danger to yourself or anyone else, this is absolutely not an appropriate technique to use. Please seek out professional support. See our Disclaimer.

The Undoing: How To Let Go of Feelings About Other People

This is the most viewed video on my channel. It’s a longer process but it’s worth investing the time (less than 20 minutes) because it’s so effective. If you are struggling with feelings about someone or something (an institution for example), just tune into this video to effortlessly regain your peace of mind.
