Have you noticed how you feel when you’re pushed to the limit out of your comfort zone? Get irritated? Retreat? Push back? Feel anxious? Just do it?
The intensity of hitting up against the edge of what’s familiar seems scary at first, yet each baby step moves us forward into growing excitement. In fact, research shows each time we do something new and different, no matter how minor, our biochemistry gets extra feel-good hormones. Even driving to work a new way excites a bit of serotonin. Our bodies reward us for stretching beyond what’s known. It’s our nature to enjoy comfort and it’s our destiny to push beyond it.
I know personally the process of being drawn forward and hitting up against doubt and fear. Step by step by step… little by little, the doubts disappear and passion takes over. It’s a dynamic process with moments of fatigue, stagnation, exhilaration and fulfillment.
What is pushing you to stretch? A job project? Challenges from a partner? A drive to fulfill your dream goal? An inner urge to make a difference in your health, your happiness, your family, your world? It’s calling you to move into the unfamiliar rather than be chased by it.
Together let’s face our fears so we can quickly realize these illusions are imaginary. Like the monsters in the closet we feared as kids, these too can be calmed by the mature loving parent we’ve become. We have everything we need to comfort and encourage ourselves forward.
How Psychology’s RIM Method Helps Overcome Fears And Pushes Past Personal Limits
RIM stands for Regenerating Images in Memory, and it was created by Dr. Deborah Sandella, a human communications expert and long-time psychotherapist. The RIM method has been proven to decrease the symptoms of stress-related illness, decrease symptoms of trauma and significantly increases one’s quality of life.
Clients stuck in grieving from earlier events like a loved one’s loss find peace in one session. Some clients with physical conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s have gone into remission. Psychologically, clients have freed themselves from traumatic memories, and others have learned how to use RIM to make wise decisions in a split second.

Transcribed RIM Experience
Allowing your eyes to gently close… you can feel your breath moving in through your nose and out through of your mouth… Taking another deep breath into the count of 1234… hold it… 4321 and exhale…. 1234… and hold it… 4321…
As your breath settles into its natural rhythm,
your attention settles down inside your body, just above your belly button…
Breathing in and through your navel,
your imagination brings you a sense of what you’re pushing through.
It may be an image, word, a picture of someone, a project…
As you sense it, what you are pushing through becomes clear… Just like that (snap),
and you receive it as much as you can…
Shift your attention over into it and feel the energy…
As you look out of the perspective, you’ll sense…
What I’m pushing through is…
What’s on the other side is…
What it’s going to take for me to get through it is…
What I am becoming is…
Shifting back to yourself, look over at the issue and notice how it has changed in how it looks, feels and sounds…
As you embrace it a magical mirror appears before you with an image of you after you have successfully pushed through. Notice the sparkle in your eyes, the confidence in your body and the excitement in your presence…
Step into this image and become your-true successful and excited self…
Settle into it and become it noticing how it feels…
