Educating the Mind™

Educating the Mind™ is two things:
First it’s “the way our process works,” by teaching the mind how to resolve its own issues, problems and challenges.
Second, it’s a specific set of tools and processes we use to help kids and adults with ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia and other seeming learning deficiencies.

The Way Our Process Works:

Our Process is unique in that it teaches the mind to use the best tools and strategies available to increase function, improve memory, gain resiliency, and resolve challenges on it’s own.

Remember the phrase: “Give someone a fish and feed them for a day, teach them to fish and feed them for a lifetime”

We first need to be taught “how to learn,” or more specifically how our minds are hardwired to learn. It’s now known that at least part of the issues with ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia and other reported “learning Disabilities” are due to the ‘unique wiring’ in the neurology of the brain. Other factors may include, Nutrition, Allergies, Perceived Traumas, and Negative Emotional Events among other things, including what we currently believe about ourselves.

If you look deeper, most kids and adults ‘labeled’ with these supposed ‘learning disabilities’ are highly intelligent and many times gifted in ways that are not recognized by the established systems.  However when the underlying issues are identified and the proper strategies utilized, we can learn to excell not only in their fields of our choice, but in Life as well.

The Specific Tools and Processes

Free Initial Evaluation Eliminating Learning Blocks Resolve Emotional Blocks

Instruction in specific Learning Strategies Re-Education of Family & Relatives Follow-up Skill Reinforcement

These tools and processes were developed by Robert Fletcher, an amazing teacher and innovator in the art of teaching a person How to Learn in the way that best works for them. Many school systems still have a ‘One Size Fits All’ mentality and as you may know, this can be a big part of the problem.
Our gratitude goes to those more progressive school systems out there who teach with a much broader understanding of the individuals preferred style of learning. It is our sincere hope that one day soon the communities will no longer need our services!

Thought Pattern Management®

Thought Pattern Management® (TPM) is the creation of Robert Fletcher. It is most simply a very powerful and yet gentle set of tools, processes, and understandings that allow a person to 'ask' the mind to tap into it’s own innate ability to heal itself and the body, in addition to changing it’s deep seated behaviors.

Thought Pattern management® at it's simplest, is a way of asking the mind to heal itself and the body, and to resolve any and all manor of problems, challenges and issues, from the mildly irritating and frustrating to the all-consuming, life wrecking traumas and phobias that have debilitated many for most of their life.  These tools work with mental, emotional, psychological, physiological, and anatomical issues because the mind controls not only the environment of body, it controls it's functions and beliefs as well.

Using a unique understanding of the mind and working within it's complex structure and language, we are able to teach the mind how to resolve it's problems in such a way that they can no longer be problems.  It is a way of getting back in control of your life by regaining harmony within the mind and body.  TPM is the "How To" for all of the 'self help' books that tell us 'what to do', such as 'Quiet the Monkey Mind' or 'Be Here, Be Present, and Be Now' without telling us exactly how to get there . . . TPM is the owners manual to the mind!  Once the mind learns how to resolve problems and negative behaviors, it automatically begins to take care of itself.

Robert spent over 35 years studying the power of the mind and then distilled all of his learnings into some very simple, easy to learn, process that are both extremely powerful, and yet very gentle at the same time.  These are the tools that change lives for good!  These are generative processes, meaning that the mind and body and the behaviors continue to improve long after the sessions are over.

Neuro-Linguistics

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a set of tools and understandings developed in the 1970’s that help people to understand what is happening in the minds of people. Given the same event, people will have a wide range of responses to that event. The science of NLP not only helps to explain how this is possible, it also helps us to understand how to exchange one type of behavior for another more effective and beneficial behavior.

These tools explain how the mind works, what behaviors mean, how a person thinks and what the mind is really 'trying' to accomplish to give the practitioner insight as to how to effect positive change for the person in a relatively short time.

Advanced Hypnosis

Hypnosis in the classical sense is the induction of a state called trance. While we may find ourselves naturally in this state periodically throughout the day, it’s simply part of the normal function of your mind and brain. In the simplest sense it is a state of mental focus and can involve a feeling of relaxation.

Clinical Hypnosis usually involves deeper states of trance, which are known to bypass the critical thinking part of the mind and help the person become more open to the suggestions of the hypnotherapist. By accessing the deeper states of the mind, the person becomes more willing to alter their behaviors.

Medical Hypnosis is the use of trance to help the person undergo medical procedures such as surgery with reduced or in some cases no need of anesthetic or pain medication and also tends to help the person recover from the procedures more quickly and with fewer complications.

Advanced Hypnosis is the current understanding that the sub ‘levels’ of the mind are always active and the practitioner can help the person affect their desired outcomes while the person is wide awake. We believe utilizing this type of hypnosis is the safest and because the person remains fully aware and in control therefore allowing for clearer direction and understanding of the problems resolution without the need for manipulation.

Guided Imagery

Guided Imagery is the process of having the mind explore and gain new understandings and resolving challenges through the minds internal ability to imagine. Through parable or story like settings, sometimes designed specifically for the person, the internal imagery helps them find the resources and understandings they need to resolve the issues and problems in their life.

This imagery in the mind is very powerful because it elicits the internal ‘Ah Hah!’ moment for the person. These ‘epiphanies’ or personal ‘revelations’ bring about what is known as ‘inductive learning,’ and is by far, one of the most powerful ways to create change.

Many of the greatest literary works in history are considered so because of their effect across nations and even across generations as they helped change and broaden the current understandings and bring us to the higher truths and greater meanings in life more quickly than if we had searched them out for ourselves.

Mind and Body Energetics

Even though Allopathic medicine is just beginning to recognize the energetic component of the mind and body, many cultures have known how to create and affect positive health in the mind and body using natural energies for thousands of years.

Acupuncture and Acupressure utilize the 'rivers of light' known as energy meridians to promote health. Reiki utilizes the natural ‘flow’ of energy from all around us and through us. There are many documented types of Energetic remedies and they amazingly seem to work, even though science has only recently had the means to measure and quantify the effects of this naturally occurring energy that other cultures have known to be valid and used successfully for thousands of years.

When you think about it, everything at it’s most basic core, is just energy. Another way to look at it is, everything has a frequency (energy) and in the quantum world, energy expresses itself as either a particle or as a wave, either way it’s still just energy. The food we take in is converted to chemical and electrical energy and it goes on and on . . .

When you think about it, if everything is at it’s most basic parts energy, then we too must me energy at our most basic parts as well. Do you imagine then, the mind in some way controls and affects the physical as well as the emotional energy?

In short, the mind has the ability to create, manipulate and use energy to promote wellness and well-being.

About Robert Fletcher: Creator of Educating the mind™ and Thought Pattern Management® programs.

In 1968, Robert Fletcher was an educator and administrator for the Utah School for the Deaf and Blind. He taught and worked with Deaf, Blind and Autistic kids, many having ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and other learning disabilities, in addition to serious mental, emotional and psychological issues. Since the school was a boarding school and a vocational school, the kids were living on campus away from their families and homes. Robert and the other instructors filled in as best they could becoming their surrogate families as they taught the kids not only the subjects of school, but a vocation as well so they could learn to become as self sufficient as possible.

In order to be as effective as possible in teaching the kids, he took on the role of their confidant and counselor, and Robert constantly searched for better ways to communicate and to really help the kids.

Robert learned speed-reading, and later taught evening courses for Evelyn Wood as an instructor for more than ten years. He was amazed at the power of the mind as he regularly taught people to read at speeds of 10 to 100 times their old speeds while improving their comprehension.

He continually sought and researched better methods of excellence and better tools he could use to help his students. Around 1976, family crisis struck and he began researching methods to help family members with serious depression. For the next couple years, Robert read at least 2-3 books every night on varying subjects of psychology, psychiatry, healing, anatomy, physiology, science, etc., anything he could get his hands on that may provide the answers he was looking for.

During this time, he received training and certification in six levels of hypnosis including master of hypnotherapy, medical, and dental hypnosis. Robert then came upon several books on Neuro-lingistic Programming (NLP), and was so intrigued with its theory and methods, he began teaching the NLP ‘spelling strategy’ to his class of deaf students who raised their spelling level by two whole grades in only two weeks.

Robert, having similar successes with other NLP techniques, went on to learn all he could about NLP and received his NLP training at the first practitioner seminar offered by Suzi Smith and Tim Halbom’s at Anchor Point Institute. He assisted Robert Dilts in several of his early seminars and went on to receive every certificate and training available in NLP. (Suzi Smith, Tim Halbom and Robert Dilts are now internationally known and well respected in the NLP community)

Robert utilized everything he could find and given the difficult circumstances quickly found what worked well and what didn’t. He says, “find something that works and the find at least three different ways to achieve the same results.” He went on to take every type of course and read just about every book he could get find in the pursuit of helping his students. His many stories are amazing and the results are seemingly unbelievable, and yet the people and lives he’s changed are very much real.

When Robert retired from the School system in the early 80s, he pursued private practice. Even today, he continues to develop new, powerful and very innovative methods for helping children and adults of all ages with learning disabilities, and all types of personal and family issues. Robert combined all of his knowledge and expertise into the methods and program now known as “Educating the Mind™ for effectively dealing with learning disabilities and developed his ideas and techniques developed over the past 30 plus years into the processes now becoming known around the world as Thought Pattern Management® also known as TPM.
