Introducing The More Method: a sustainable and cost-effective approach to psychological support.
This framework is designed to help make your next move with confidence.
They say change is as good as a holiday but ‘they’ probably never went through a pandemic, rolling load-shedding and cost of living crisis all rolled into three successive years.
Sure, change can be good–exciting, stimulating, challenging – but it can also leave you reeling, feeling like you’re at rock bottom or send you tumbling into a dip. During periods of change, it’s important to have a plan – a framework – to help guide you through the motions and push you to better mental wellbeing.
Enter the MORE Method: developed by South African clinical psychologist Janie Loubser, this nine-step framework is a holistic overview of the key actions many of us will go through for growth and transformation. It’s underpinned by Janie’s expertise in solution-focused therapy, Jungian psychology and mindfulness based therapy and stress reduction with imagery and EMDR techniques. The result is a carefully considered multi -pronged approach that can be used by anyone going through change, everyday challenges and growth.
Your guide to finding a vision, creating energy and growth
Think of the MORE Method like a guide - a step-by-step process to help you identify your big vision for the future, understand the areas of your life where you can open up energy resources to propel you on your journey, and put in place the structures and people that can support you on your path. Over the course of the nine steps, you’ll do thought work to tap into your subconscious mind and gain a better understanding of your inner world, while also developing deeper insight into the external forces that affect your wellbeing and hinder your progress. What’s more, it’ll guide you to putting the best systems in place to support you on your path.
What makes the More Method effective?
In psychology, frameworks such as cognitive-behavioural therapy and positive psychology provide a structure for understanding and improving mental health, and they can be used to help people recognise and change their thoughts, feelings and behaviours. They also can be used to promote wellbeing by identifying and building on strengths, setting and achieving meaningful goals and learning to build positive relationships. Without one, people often find they just don’t know where to start or how to make progress, which can lead to feelings of frustration, confusion and even hopelessness.
Janie’s MORE Method provides structure and direction, while its open-ended nature allows for flexibility and adaptability. This combination results in a comprehensive and individualized approach to mental health, which can be more effective in addressing the people’s specific needs and concerns. There are also different techniques and strategies that people can choose depending on their specific needs and preferences.
And the biggest strength of this method is that it can be used in groups and communities.
Why communities?
Taking care of your mental health can be really costly, and signing up for individual therapy is out of reach for many. Finding support in communities and groups is a far more cost-effective way to get answers to your questions in real time and share your experiences with likeminded people, making you feel less alone in your journey. Janie believes community is key, that’s why the MORE Method is a central part of her MORE Community, a safe online space where members flock to share their experiences and questions and offer each other round the clock support.
The MORE community is just R490/month, and includes access to in-depth workshops and regular posts on topics like discovering your big vision, or uncovering core beliefs, as well as on-demand meditations, weekly group meetings and discussion threads. Sign up for your seven-day free trial to discover the benefits of this community without the commitment.
