Telegroups are facilitated by Certified Solution Method Trainers, providers who have significant experience and exemplary expertise in the method. They are designed for people who do not live or work near a Solution Method Provider or who do live nearby but prefer the convenience of telegroup support.
All providers are health professionals who have completed training in the method and use the skills in their own lives. There are six levels of provider certification, with full certification requiring about two years of training. All groups meet weekly for 90 minutes. Groups start on time, and conclude within 10 minutes of the scheduled stop time.
Participants dial into a designated conference line, which is opened by the provider and closed when the group starts.
Participants begin with the six-week Wired for Joy Introductory Group which is a small group that completes the introductory training together. After completing Wired for Joy, most participants enroll in a 12-week Solution Group and begin completing their first Solution Kit. We recommend completing about one kit per session to experience the best results. Every 12 weeks when a session ends, a few people may graduate from the program and a few may start the training or transfer from another group. People do not enter the groups during the session, only when a new session begins.
Sessions start with a brief check in. Then one or two participants volunteer to use The Cycle Tool and the provider coaches them through this process. This is the tool that rewires the unconscious expectations from the past the sensitize the brain to stress. Everyone learns, and as the participant’s mood changes, the positive emotions are contagious. The session concludes with each person having time to describe their accomplishments in the training during the last week and their challenges and goals for the coming week, ask questions or share insights. This “Progress Check” provides structure and motivation to complete the courses. At the end of the session, everyone stands in a circle in celebration of the work they have done together.
Participants learn from each person their group as they listen to their Accomplishments and Challenges, hear their Cycles and listen to the responses and coaching of your Solution Provider. During each group meeting there are typically moments of laughter, insight and deep emotion. The power of rewiring the emotional brain is that it impacts nearly every area of life, so often the changes are unexpected and have a depth and meaning that are deeply rewarding.
