Episode 200: The Mental Emotional Release Technique with Rich Heller

Today, we’re going to be talking about something called Mental Emotional Release (MER) with guest Rich Heller. The MER technique helps to release triggers or emotional patterns, thereby leading us on a path toward healing. Divorce is an emotionally charged time, so I thought this might be an interesting topic to share with listeners.  

Rich is a Relationship Fitness Coach and mediator. He helps parents transform a negative relationship with conflict into one in which they resolve differences creatively. He helps them learn the tools and techniques needed to increase joy and resilience for themselves and their children. Rich is also an MER facilitator. MER is fascinating and Rich describes it in-depth, in this episode. 

Featured topics include:

  • When you’re getting divorced triggers are really expensive (5:01)
  • How MER helps the unconscious mind release emotional triggers (16:42)
  • We geek out on brain facts like how our unconscious mind does not know the difference between what we imagine versus what is real (18:39)
