INTRODUCING

Our founder, Dr. Peter Hercules, explains how Vivir helps you achieve true emotional fitness and freedom from past traumas.

RESULTS THAT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

  • "I have tried many other methods of treatment for improvement of mental health symptoms however, Emotional Updating has been the only method that has shown me results where I no longer deal with things such as anxiety, which I’ve been trying to work through for years."

    S, age 26

  • "I feel after only three months of treatment, I have achieved more than the several years of therapy and rehab I have endured! I feel generally happy, like I have never felt before. Like a huge weight has been lifted!"

    L, age 48

  • "I feel stronger, more confident and more comfortable in my own skin than I ever remember feeling. My life is still stressful but I am handling that stress much differently now. Emotional Updating is an incredibly powerful technique and I would recommend it to anyone."

    J, age 43

  • "I've become a much stronger person in that I believe/trust in myself more and I'm accepting that I am worthy. I'm also discovering who I am, who I want/could be and that yesterday is gone and that life's choices today are mine to make."

    S, age 58

  • "Emotional Updating has allowed me to get better, to develop techniques for improving on my own, and to overcome the disabling psychological responses that had consumed my personal and work life daily."

    E, age 39

  • "The results over this past year have been phenomenal. The issues that once plagued me and were easily triggered by outside influences have simply dissolved! They no longer hold the same intensity of emotion and reaction they once did!"

    B, age 48

True Emotional Fitness Through Emotional Updating

The Vivir Emotional Fitness Institute, founded by Dr. Peter Hercules, M.D., specializes in helping people untrigger themselves from their past trauma through our proprietary mental technique, Emotional Updating.

First developed nearly 40 years ago by Dr. Hercules, Emotional Updating is an innovative mental technique that tackles post-traumatic emotional responses through an unconscious process. By identifying triggers, understanding their origins, and updating responses, it effectively eliminates emotional distress from past trauma. This technique is particularly suited to addressing deep-rooted traumas, including those from early childhood experiences. With its standardized Yes/No question process, the Emotional Updating technique is universally applicable and can be learned for independent practice. Proven to help countless individuals overcome issues like anxiety, depression, and low self-worth, it empowers people to take charge of their journey towards true emotional fitness.

Untriggering From Past Trauma
The Key to True Emotional Fitness

All of us have experienced trauma and we all carry around the emotional pain of these past traumatic events, typically for the rest of our lives.

This discomfort can be triggered within us at any time, suddenly causing us to essentially relive our trauma whenever that happens. And even when old discomfort is not triggered, it stays there inside of us, affecting us to some extent day in and day out, decreasing our quality of life.

We do our best to avoid these triggers, but our lives are limited due to this avoidance. When avoiding is not possible, we suffer and seek ways to cope with this suffering but these coping mechanisms often lead to other problems. As a result, we develop emotional, behavioral, and psychosomatic issues that significantly impact our quality of life.

It does NOT have to be this way.

It is possible to free ourselves once and for all from the paralyzing pain and limitations of past trauma.

IT IS POSSIBLE TO UNTRIGGER YOURSELF.

Doing so ends the need to avoid, cope, and suffer and enables us to diminish and potentially free ourselves from the challenges this discomfort causes.

The program and technique we offer at Vivir empowers our clients to untrigger themselves from their past trauma, positively transforming their lives and radically improving their well-being.

"You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending."

Choosing The Best Life Possible

Emotional distress and unresolved trauma may significantly impact our lives today, but they don't have to dictate our emotional well-being tomorrow.

FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES OF EMOTIONAL FITNESS

CONFRONT REALITY
We must face reality to understand it. This gives us a greater possibility of dealing with it effectively.

CULTIVATE POSITIVITY
In every situation we should strive to always be as constructive, optimistic, and empowered as possible.

PURSUE SELF-ACTUALIZATION
The key to emotional wellbeing is the ability to know, love, trust, and be your most authentic self.

This mindset, supported by regular use of the Emotional Updating technique, serves as the cornerstone to Vivir’s Emotional Fitness approach.
