Davis Concepts for Life Programme

This program is designed for people who struggle with concentration, organizational issues, behavioral problems, social relationships, emotional understanding, and anxiety.

The program will help you cope with internal stress, understand yourself, build a sense of self-worth, and establish mutually beneficial relationships with the outside world.

The Davis Concepts for Life program consists of three main stages.

The first stage: individuation - the ability to perceive oneself as an individual, separate from others.

The Davis Method offers a sound-based focus adjustment. This stereo sound must be listened to with headphones for a sufficiently long period of time. The sound gradually opens the possibility of entering a new state – a state of focus on the physical world around you and your own physical body. This is a state where your own body and the surrounding physical world are perceived separately from the inner, imaginary world. Many people describe this state as very calm and pleasant, like silence in the mind, a kind of balance. At the same time, the previous state, rich in creative and intellectual energy, remains. Instead, a choice emerges as to which of these states is most beneficial to be in at the moment.

The client goes through this stage independently, before the program.

The second stage: personal development.

Once the first stable changes in the client's behavior have emerged as a result of listening to sound, it's time to work with a Davis therapist.

First, the client learns to control the new sense of focus, evoking it independently, without sound. This is the first new tool – focusing. There are also two additional tools that allow focusing in any life situation.

Next, when the client is able to see the real world around them without the distortions of imagination, we begin to explore the fundamental relationships on which this world is based.

For this, Davis uses 35 concepts.

- concepts of the physical world: self (in three parts: body, thoughts, and feelings), interoception (checking what all three parts of my body are doing at the moment), feeling, change, consequences, cause and effect, before and after, time, sequence (five types, including sequence by importance), order and disorder.

We first model these concepts out of plasticine to ensure a clear understanding. Then we begin to experience these concepts in the environment, living them. As a result, the client learns to notice these concepts in the surrounding world, tuning their internal filter to a new perception.

- Concepts of the cognitive world (the world of thought). Here, the ability to analyze and classify information through the brain becomes possible. We examine how our brain reacts to the surrounding world, how we remember information, what thoughts are—all of this is studied and explored through the following concepts: continue, survival, perception, thought, experience in the form of understanding, knowledge, and wisdom.

- Concepts of the instinctual world (the world of feelings, the world of emotions). This is what shapes our emotional world. And here the following concepts come to the rescue: urge, energy, force, emotion, want, need, and intention.

We model all these concepts out of plasticine in three dimensions, and then begin to explore them in the surrounding world, using ourselves and others as examples. Exploring concepts in the surrounding world is a VERY important part of the program! During the program, we plant the seeds of life experience through specific concepts, but EACH person's task is to INDEPENDENTLY develop and grow these enormous plants of life experience to balance their psychological and physiological ages. Therefore, the program's results don't appear immediately; it has a more cumulative effect, although, of course, small changes do appear immediately.

Next come concepts that integrate the work of all three worlds: the physical body, the world of thought, and the world of emotions. These concepts are motivation, ability, and control. And the concept of responsibility harmonizes all of the above.

This is followed by a series of exercises for practicing accepting responsibility and bringing order to ANY situation.

Then we take a break to allow the class to observe themselves and the world and gain the necessary life experience. This usually lasts 1-2 months. Only then do we move on to the next stage.

The third stage: social integration.

The last 14 concepts help us understand different types of social relationships and concepts such as "other," "others," emotions, behaviour, relationships (including those built on trust, believe, agreement, and rules), good/bad, and right/wrong.

But what kind of relationship can there be without feelings? There are no good or bad feelings; all feelings convey information. We explore the information coming from our feelings in the form of concepts: joy, anger, sadness, fear.

And the icing on the cake is the final concepts: "affinity" and "we." When two such different people form a common "we"...

This is where the program ends, and the independent accumulation of life experience begins, in a focused state based on a new internal structure.

Post-program meetings are possible after the program.

People who have completed this program experience a variety of positive changes, including:

increased levels of mindfulness/self-awareness

improved ability to cope with stress

increased ability to focus for a period of time

ability to control and self-regulate one's energy level

improved ability to listen and perceive what is being said

a deeper understanding of the relationship between cause and effect

improved time management

improved organization, ability to complete tasks, and follow through

ability to establish order in one's environment and daily life

awareness of the role emotions play in self-motivation

ability to apply structure to establishing self-accountability

recognizing different types of relationships and what constitutes acceptable behavior within them, and

improved ability to make decisions based on what is right and wrong for oneself.

Pictured: the concept of "affinity": feeling the same feeling at the same time with another.
