Zen Master Nissim Amon has developed an exciting and innovative therapeutic system known as Trilotherapy. Its purpose is to create and to maintain good health as well as harmony between “mind” and “emotion.  Trilotherapy is based on a combination of western psychology, incorporating elements of Gestalt, along with a great emphasis on the training methods of Zen Buddhism which Nissim studied for more than seven years in South Korea and Japan.

Human beings approach reality either with rational analysis and logic or through the expression of emotions.  Through the language of Trilotherapy, we recognize the former as “mind/thoughts”, and the latter as “heart/emotions”.  At some point, tension between “mind’s” decisions and “emotion's” desires leads to a condition of inner conflict.  Our inner harmony is lost.  This loss can result in discomfort, confusion, sadness and even physical illness.

Trilotherapy helps us to see our “mind” and our “emotions” as our two “inner children”. We come to understand that these “inner children” are in a constant struggle, with each wanting to take different paths and to make different decisions on a daily basis.  One usually dominates and the other is suppressed, discouraged, and silenced.  As time passes the condition deteriorates.  A “parent/mediator” is desperately needed in order to lead the “inner children” to a new reality.  Trilotherapy awakens the sleeping “parent” and guides them all, step by step.

Trilotherapy works in two stages:

Stage one of the process speaks with each “inner child”.  The individual is taught to recognize the “mind child” and the “emotion child”.  Each “child” is encouraged to express their needs and point of view. The cause of the imbalance is revealed and eventually each are able to forgive and apologize to the other. The Trilotherapy methodology provides many different types of tools to support and enhance this transition.  The trilotherapist rapidly and efficiently mediates during the process until balance is restored between “mind” and “emotion”.

Stage two involves the awakening of the parent, the “I”, the “true self”, centered and balanced as it was before life’s conditioning took over and reshaped “mind” and “emotion”.  The trilotherapist helps to awaken the centered parent from its passivity.  The original authentic self reawakens and reclaims its role as decision maker.  Restlessness is replaced with inner peace, joy and improved mental as well as physical health. 

The more energy one invests in the struggle between “mind” and “emotion, the less energy one has for accomplishing the goals most desired.  Physical and mental illness may often develop when the inner balance has been significantly neglected for long periods of time.  Trilotherapy is a catalyst which assists and supports the healing process. Those individuals who actively partake in the understanding of their own psychological makeup with the guidance of the Trilotherapist will benefit from quick and long lasting results.
