Time Line Therapy and the Basis of Personality

This book looks at how a person's sense of personal time, the mental timeline on which memories are stored, shapes their experience and personality. Tad James and Wyatt Woodsmall build on work by Richard Bandler to explain how this storage system affects the individual.

Central to the approach is a method in which a client returns to the earliest memory of a problem, applies NLP-based change work to clear it, and then revisits later moments where the same response appeared. The authors describe how to elicit the timeline and walk readers through steps for releasing limiting decisions or trauma, easing anxiety and setting future goals. Plenty of examples, exercises and session transcripts are included so readers can move from theory to practice.
