  • ABOUT PROGRESSIVE TLC

    Progressive TLC recognizes the impact on our minds of the constant conflict most of us experience in our everyday communication and behaviour. We suffer—and unwittingly inflict—violence in our thoughts, speech and actions. This violence is competitive in nature and as real as a sustained physical assault. It is habitual, yet we’re mostly unaware of it. It is ingrained in us by all of human history, and reinforced by our culture, which emphasizes dominance, superiority and winning over submission, inferiority and losing. Judging ourselves and others by this dominant-submissive, superior-inferior, winner-loser paradigm prevents meaningful interaction, collaboration and connection.

    Progressive TLC is based on a more highly evolved model of thinking and communicating. It leads the mind to fully engage in all communication and action, and to respect human beings as equal and human needs as universal. Applying the most up-to-date scientific understanding of the brain, and using proven methods, we identify and “undo” counterproductive cultural programming, which leads to the practice of a new paradigm in our thought, language and connection—a paradigm that engages the higher-functioning parts of the brain and puts them in control. This more highly evolved practice creates lasting qualitative improvements in personal life, working environment and society at large.

    In short: aware that problematic violence exists in our mind, language and action, we engage in effective practices to conduct our thoughts, language and connections in a harmonious way.
