  • Evidence (three pillars)
    The first pillar involves fostering inner strength, ensuring that individuals feel rested and capable of facing challenges. The second focuses on finding meaning in life by setting goals in personally valued areas. Lastly, the third pillar emphasises quality time, encouraging clients to dedicate time to rest, reflection, and problem-solving
  • Explain (three pillars)
    These pillars work alongside the CASIO model, reinforcing long-term positive change by promoting personal growth and balance
