Therapy draws inspiration from the ancient Buddhist practice of \u2018Metta\u2019, which is the cultivation of the mental and emotional state of \u2018Loving Kindness\u2019 and \u2018Compassion\u2019 towards others (and self).\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metta is a practice of Compassion, and this is one of the three underlying Principal Values of practice at Metta Therapy, along with Collaboration and Curiosity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Collaboration, Curiosity and Compassion, Metta Therapy clients can safely explore why they think and feel in the way(s) that they do and how to learn how to think and feel in ways that are more desirable to them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within a safe, comfortable, confidential, friendly, welcoming and professional space, you are supported through a process of \u2018Unlearning\u2019 and \u2018Un-Conditioning\u2019 from past beliefs and behaviours which may be holding you back from realising your true potential.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By identifying and \u2018Unlearning\u2019 and \u2018Un-Conditioning\u2019 old unwanted and unhelpful beliefs and behaviours, you are supported to \u2018Relearn\u2019 or Re-Condition\u2019 how you want to think, feel and act in your life.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-column-20-128 bde-column\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bde-image2-20-137 bde-image2\"
