Patterns and beliefs

ToolLogical LevelsThe Logical Levels are a tool developed by Robert Dilts, building on ideas from Gregory Bateson. They organize human experience into six levels: environment, behavior, capabilities, values and beliefs, identity, and belonging. The model helps you recognize which level an issue sits on and where a change needs to start so that it lasts.
MapPersonality models and profilingPersonality models describe the ways people consistently differ: how they gain energy, perceive, decide, and deal with others. Some sort people into types, others describe how strongly traits show up across several dimensions, and they rest on very different foundations. A profile is not a verdict on you, but an occasion to compare how you see yourself with how others see you, and to choose your patterns more consciously.
MethodWorking with beliefs using The WorkThe Work is a method developed by Byron Katie for questioning stressful thoughts instead of fighting them. A stressful statement is examined with four simple questions and then turned around, and for each turnaround you look for genuine examples. The goal is not to get rid of a thought, but to see it so clearly that it lets go of you.
MethodWorking with valuesValues are what matters to us: freedom, honesty, connectedness, security. They give strength and direction and stand in an inner order of rank. Working with values makes this order visible, clarifies contradictions, and uncovers values we try to achieve through behavior, even though their fulfillment isn’t in our hands at all.
