How the WITHIN Method™ Works

This method guides you through three essential phases of transformation. Each one unlocks a deeper layer of awareness, alignment, and integration - taking you from inner fragmentation to embodied agency, where you live your purpose and legacy in real time.

Phase 1

Stabilization

Mastering the Inner Landscape: From emotional pain + reactivity to emotional regulation + coherence.


Every woman begins here.
You’ve spent years holding it all together - busy, capable, and composed on the outside, but quietly exhausted from managing everyone and everything.

You’re carrying the weight of past heartbreak, betrayals and disappointments and it’s causing you to shut down, numb out, and avoid taking necessary action in your relationships and day to day life.

In this first phase, we stabilize your internal world. You learn how to be with discomfort - not bypass it, not fix it, but meet it with clarity and compassion. You learn the art of healing from within so you don’t carry the past forward.

Through evidence-based emotional intelligence practices, nervous system regulation, and shadow awareness, you begin to recognize your patterns for what they are: adaptive mechanisms that once kept you safe but now keep you stuck.

As you master the art of presence, your energy stops leaking into control, avoidance, and overthinking - and begins returning to you as clarity, calm, and self-trust.

Core psychological pivot: You discover that your control strategies (busyness, perfection, over-giving, analysis) are not personality traits—they’re adaptive responses coded in childhood.

Phase 2

Recalibration

Aligning Values, Beliefs, and Behavior: From self-protection to self-possession.


Once your system is stable, we recalibrate the deeper architecture of your inner identity. 

You’re a high-performing woman who actually knows better but still can’t break long-standing patterns - emotionally, in your relationships, and in your day to day life.

Here, we interrupt the illusion that you can think or perform your way out of emotional dissonance. We examine your values, belief systems, and behavioral patterns - the invisible code driving how you think, feel, and respond to life. 

This is where emotional maturity meets psychological precision. You’ll dismantle old beliefs about safety, love, and worth that no longer serve you, replacing them with new patterns that align with your authentic self.

You’ll learn to communicate consciously, navigate conflict without losing your center, and make decisions rooted in your truth rather than your conditioning.The result? Integrity between who you are and how you live.

This phase reorients your entire operating system toward congruence - where your values, mindset, and behavior finally move in the same direction. 

Core psychological pivot:
Values become your compass. Truth becomes your authority. Emotional intelligence becomes your navigation system. You stop negotiating your needs and begin architecting your life through the lens of self-respect.

Phase 3

Integration

Embodying Agency and Living the Legacy: From alignment to embodiment.


Integration is where your healing becomes your embodiment.
At this stage, you no longer need to “do” the work — you are the work.

You move through life anchored in clarity, grace, and agency.
Boundaries become second nature. Leadership becomes an extension of your integrity. Fulfillment becomes your baseline rather than your pursuit.

This is where your transformation becomes tangible — in your relationships, your impact, and the quiet power of how you carry yourself.

You are no longer performing stability - you are living it. You are no longer chasing purpose - you are embodying it.

When these three phases integrate, you think clearly. You feel deeply. You act decisively. You live WITHIN - and from there, everything changes.

Core psychological pivot: Your legacy is no longer something you build—it’s something you live. Your leadership is not about being followed—it’s about being felt.

Realms of Inner Work

Your transformation unfolds through three distinct disciplines Tris has spent more than two decades mastering and integrating:

  • This is where we work with emotional imprinting, heartbreak, betrayals, and unresolved wounds that shape how you react and relate. You’ll learn to self-regulate, dissolve emotional residue, and build true emotional intelligence — not by bypassing your pain, but by mastering your ability to be with it.

  • Through inner child exploration, core wound resolution, shadow projection, and parts integration, you’ll begin to see that what you resist externally mirrors what’s been asking for your attention within. This work restores wholeness and authenticity.

  • Using advanced energetic and psychological methods, we reshape the subconscious patterns that keep you in old loops of thought and behavior. You’ll install new strategies that support your highest identity — aligned with your values, integrity, and vision for your life.

MENTAL & EMOTIONAL RELEASE ®

MENTAL & EMOTIONAL RELEASE ®

Mental and Emotional Release ® (MER) underlies each of the 3 Phases. Learn about MER’s 100% proven efficacy, drawing on clinical and academic research as well as hundreds of case studies.


  • Rather than spending months or years in therapy, most problems and symptoms — even those caused by severe trauma or those that have been ingrained for decades — will literally disappear within one or two sessions, a total of 5 to 8 hours.

    In fact, one of the downsides to the process is that it works so quickly and thoroughly to eradicate long-standing issues that clients have a hard time believing it! They feel symptom-free, yet may have trouble trusting that such a dramatic shift happened so swiftly and easily.

    We have been trained to expect that creating change takes a long time, which is why most people give up or don’t even bother trying.

    Fortunately, change does not need to be difficult to be profound and transformational.


  • In clinical research, Mental and Emotional Release® Therapy has been proven to be effective in the treatment of depression, with all patients in the test group experiencing a full reduction in symptoms.

    In academic research with at-risk teenagers, all participants resolved anxiety issues and researchers were able to measure significant behavioral changes.

    In hundreds of case studies ranging from PTSD to minor anxiety, MER® has been proven to be effective in the release of negative emotions and limiting decisions. It’s extremely efficient and often gets positive results within the first session — even with long-lasting problems, or for patients who had not responded to other treatments.


  • The changes MER® brings have been shown to be permanent. Unlike some other therapies that require constant monitoring or on-going medication to prevent relapse, once the client has made a significant shift in MER®, it’s done.

    I’ve never had a client return complaining of an issue we previously worked with. Of course, new problems can arise. And, when the technique is used properly and you experience a complete release of negative emotions and limiting beliefs, the original issue will not return.

    Through the release work, you gain a baseline of mental and emotional health that allows you to deal with new problems more quickly and effectively.
