Brain Magic™

Brain Magic™ is a relatively new system which demonstrates that change can be brought about FAST; exploding the myth that change is a slow and painful process that takes years.

Brain Magic™ succeeds because it works with the process and structure (form) rather than the content of our problems.  It studies the way the brain works, the processes it undergoes and, based on this, teaches us ways to use these processes in our favour. In other words, it teaches us how to program (or re-program) the brain. We call this Brain Magic™ because quite simply, magic is what it is!

Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy

Developed by Dr. Albert Ellis PhD, Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) works on the principle that our emotions are caused by the way we think.

Faulty or distorted thinking causes emotions that are damaging to the person and lowers their self-esteem. These emotions need not have been experienced in the first place. The ADMI  courses in RET show you how to get rid of distorted thinking and lead a richer, healthier and happier life through new ways of handling problems at work or in your personal life. Further, the course also teaches you how to help others.

Transactional Analysis (TA)

TA is an ingenious development by Dr. Eric Berne MD who popularized his work through bestsellers such as Games People Play. TA is a simplified version of Freud’s Id, Ego and Superego concepts. It believes that we operate out of three different ego states and solutions to our emotional and social interaction problems can be found after analysing the social transactions that we make.

The ADMI courses in TA are designed for those who have no prior knowledge of TA. Coupled with Gestalt Therapy, TA has vast applications in all spheres of life.

Person Centred Therapy - FIAMC Bio-Medical Ethics Centre, Goregaon

Person-Centred Therapy (PCT)

Belonging to the humanistic school, this form of therapy is the brainchild of Dr. Carl Rogers MD. PCT was basically a reaction to the Psychoanalytic Theory of Sigmund Freud.  Rogers believed that a person is the best expert in their own life and is capable of finding their own solutions, provided they are given a sense of worth and are brought up in the special atmosphere created by the therapist. The ADMI course teaches you to master this form of therapy. It is ideal for teachers, doctors and others who are in/wish to get into the helping profession.

What is Gestalt Therapy (GT)

Gestalt Therapy was developed by Dr. Fritz Perls MD, a Viennese psychiatrist who believed that a person could become whole by living in the present, by “losing one’s mind and coming to one’s senses”. He lays much stress on awareness of what is going on in the “here-and-now”. Gestalt Therapy is generally coupled with TA for applications in various areas of life.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis is perhaps the most misunderstood phenomenon in psychotherapy and human resource development.

Hypnosis is a very serious and effective form of therapy. It may be remembered that Freud himself worked with hypnosis in the beginning of his career and then realised the tremendous power of the unconscious mind.

Hypnotherapy harnesses the power of the unconscious mind to bring about progressive and generic changes in one’s personal life.

The ADMI courses are based on the work of Milton Erikson who is considered the world’s greatest-ever hypnotherapist.
