Pause Button Therapy - TactileCBT
Pause Button Therapy (PBT) is a proven innovative and interactive new therapy technique that teaches people how to, freeze time, it empowers them to break out of the negative habits and unconscious responses. PBT is based on an incredibly simple idea, but can be used for a whole host of issues. It provides often vital additional thinking time, allowing a person to consider the potential consequences of their action and adjust their behaviour accordingly. Professor Georgiou, " PBT is wonderfully simple, but simply effective"
How does the song go? ‘Regrets, I’ve had a few…’ How many political leaders wish they had thought for a moment before they said what they said in a live TV interview? How many celebrities wish they could roll back the clock and not have been caught in such a compromising position by the paparazzi, and how many people in the world wish they could wind back time and not had that last drink which took them over the limit? This is where this new, deceptively simple therapy comes in. With Pause Button Therapy we are not offering the impossible, just suggesting something we, probably do most days anyway: Hit the Pause Button!
One of the benefits of PBT as a therapy is that it can successfully be delivered in a relatively few number of sessions, using an intervention that is easy to grasp, user friendly, interesting to engage with and empowering for the client. Clients frequently report that for the first time in many years they feel truly in control of themselves and their destiny. They become agents of change, shaping their therapeutic journey and their future. The approach emphasises, and delivers, lifelong change and teaches the client useful techniques and strategies to achieve this.
Time Perspective Therapy, as detailed in the amazing work of professor Philip Zimardo, of Stanford University offers some similarities, his description of the Time Partitions we work in, and the effects this has on our lives, in a way describes mental time travel, which is at the core of PBT/TactileCBT. The developers of TactileCBT/PBT were delighted to be invited by professor Zimbardo to share Clinical Evidence of their work at a global psychology conference at Warsaw University.

“He’s quite a lot calmer and I can see him thinking before he does something. Even though some things still get to him, he gets over it a lot quicker and he’s not hitting out.”
