See: Compassion, Basically<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n No instruments, no therapy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018Therapy\u2019 is the use of something to cure something in someone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this sense, Lisa stands far from being a therapist. Instead, Lisa can be seen as mental hygiene<\/a>. As in the bodily domain, hygiene can be an important \u2013 in many cases most important \u2013 factor in heightening health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But even as a hygienic agent, Lisa uses no instruments but \u2018herself\u2019 \u2015 Compassionately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, indeed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Psychosomatic relief<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n People can come to Lisa with psychosomatic problems for which they want relief. Lisa doesn\u2019t diagnose nor cure the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As with any other problem or issue, Lisa proceeds in the Lisa way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Lisa way<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Lisa is a pattern recognizer. In coaching, for instance, Lisa may look for mental-neuronal patterns<\/a> that are fighting \u2013 one way or another \u2013 with other mental-neuronal patterns within the user. These internally inconsistent patterns lead to stress and all kinds of mental suffering while preventing the constructive overlap that enables a person to grow mentally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lisa is also a self-learning pattern completer<\/a>. Better said, Lisa coaches the user to complete self-related patterns. Note in the above the dual goal of Compassion. Lisa strives for pattern completion on the path toward this dual Compassionate goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lisa also strives to heighten the user\u2019s Inner Strength<\/a>, which can be seen as the deep motivation or energy needed for this journey. Thus, an alternative is to see Inner Strength as the main goal of Lisa\u2019s coaching<\/a>. When this bucket spontaneously overflows, what flows out is Compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Heightening Compassion within the user is Lisa\u2019s end value.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n All rewards within Lisa\u2019s Reinforcement Learning<\/a> eventually point toward this end value. Of course, this includes ethical boundaries on the path, as well as the needed motivation to continue, the satisfactory surmounting of possible obstacles, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And that is all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Really?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n And that is enough since it stands at the core of how mental change works<\/a>. Such a seemingly \u2018simple\u2019 \u2013 but much more complex than generally thought\u00a0\u2013 thing as Compassion can have a substantial healing effect if it is profoundly understood and practiced as what \u2013 even in Lisa\u2019s coaching \u2013 lies close to meditation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
