A fruitful life is not measured by how busy or successful I appear, but by how meaningful, balanced, and aligned my actions are with my values. It is about growth, contribution, and inner satisfaction rather than constant achievement.

Activation of agency refers to the psychological process in which a person shifts from a state of passivity, helplessness, or avoidance into a state where they feel capable of acting, making decisions, and influencing their own life.

Activation of agency is not just motivation. It is a shift in the person’s internal state, involving:

Emotional activation (energy returns)
Cognitive shift (new belief about capability)
Behavioural readiness (urge to act)

It often appears suddenly, as a turning point. Activation of agency is the process, while “inner power, determination, and drive” describe the psychological experiences or components that emerge when agency becomes active.

Individuals’ behaviours are not shaped by what they say they need, want, or desire, but by the stimuli they respond to. Many individuals act against their own best interests, not because they lack awareness, but because immediate stimuli drive behaviour.
Behaviour consistently follows a stimulus–response pattern.
Change the stimulus, and the behavioural response changes.

EMDR therapy is a structured psychotherapy approach with 8 phases.

Curious about EMDR therapy or hearing about it for the first time?

EMDR therapy is a structured psychotherapy approach that enables people to heal and process both symptoms and emotional distress stemming from disturbing life experiences. When past events remain unprocessed, they can continue to affect a person’s thoughts, emotions and reactions.

Using the protocols and procedures taught through EMDR-approved training, clinicians guide clients through a systematic framework that supports adaptive resolution of past experiences.

As part of EMDR therapy, clinicians follow an established eight phase approach that ensures the work is organized, comprehensive and grounded in the model’s principles. During training, we will help you learn how these phases work together to support effective case conceptualization and treatment planning.

If you are beginning to explore EMDR therapy or are considering starting formal training, our programs provide a clear introduction to the methodology and its required competencies.

Reality doesn’t suddenly change , perception does.
The brain can’t process everything, so it filters reality. This is selective perception: you notice what matches your focus and tune out what doesn’t. When people say “my life changed after I decided”, what really changed was where their attention went.
A key player is the Reticular Activating System (RAS); the brain’s filter. When you decide “this matters” or “I’m moving in this direction”, the filter updates.
Result? Opportunities, people, and ideas that were always there now come into awareness.
It feels like “things suddenly appeared.”
They didn’t, they were just filtered out before.
