🌾 Letter to the Seeker


Why PERVIEW is a Movement?

Every day, veterans, first responders, and their families face the hidden wounds of trauma. Traditional therapy often forces individuals to relive their worst experiences—sometimes making the trauma worse, not better.

For decades, trauma treatments have centered on RED (Repeated Exposure Therapy)—reliving the past over and over in hopes that the mind will dull its pain is not the best approach. It doesn’t work for everyone.Our alternative is PER-VIEW. It offers a different approach: one rooted in storytelling, quantum resonance, and embodied healing. Instead of forcing people to revisit their worst moments, we invite them to create new narratives—ones infused with safety, resilience, and connection.

That’s why Dr. David Boje and Dr. Grace Ann Rosile created PERVIEW—a groundbreaking, gentle-touch coaching method based on storytelling, vibrational energy, and somatic healing. With equine-assisted therapy, embodied restorying, and VIEW (Vibrations In Energy Waves), we are helping people reclaim their lives without reliving the past emotional trauma again and again.

For example, it’s often said that thoughts are vibrations  – a fearful thought might be a low-frequency, heavy wave, while a loving thought is high-frequency and light. PERVIEW trains practitioners to notice these energetic qualities. A client’s story isn’t just the content of their narrative; it’s also the emotional tone (angry, resigned, hopeful, etc.) which can be seen as their current vibration. By helping clients shift the frequency of their feelings (for instance, from anger toward forgiveness, or from despair toward hope), we help them alter what they attract and experience in their lives. This idea aligns with principles from positive psychology and even the Law of Attraction, which suggest that our “thoughts, emotions, and beliefs have the power to shape our external reality” . In practice, the VIEW aspect means using techniques that raise a client’s emotional state (such as gratitude exercises or mindfulness, discussed later) so that the “quantum field” of their life begins to resonate at a healthier frequency.

Practical Applications: The PERVIEW methodology is especially useful for those who have experienced trauma and high stress – populations like military veterans, first responders, and their families. These individuals often carry heavy stories (of war, loss, danger) and correspondingly low vibrations (grief, guilt, anger). PERVIEW offers a way to gently rewrite those stories and uplift their emotional state. In work with military families, for example, Embodied Restorying Practices have been proposed as an intervention to aid post-deployment family reintegration . A veteran returning from combat might initially have an “old story” full of pain or survivor’s guilt. Using PERVIEW, a coach can guide them to craft a new narrative of courage, meaning, and reconnection with loved ones. Similarly, a first responder’s spouse and children might use these steps to articulate their own story of a traumatic event (rather than silently internalizing fear), thereby processing it together. By combining narrative reframing with attention to emotional energy, practitioners can help clients not only understand their experiences differently but also feel different about them. The result is often a profound shift: clients move from feeling powerless in the face of their story to feeling empowered as the author of a new story. In the next sections, we’ll delve deeper into the quantum principles behind this approach and the specific steps practitioners can use.

As offered through the lens of PER Processes of Embodied Restorying and VIEW Vibrations In Energy Waves, PERVIEW is Unique Method of Coaching that is Not Therapy.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) by Genius Unlocked® is a powerful tool in the PERVIEW coaching method, particularly for veterans, first responders, and their families. NLP focuses on understanding and restructuring patterns in language and thought to create positive change. This approach is highly effective in addressing the unique challenges faced by individuals in high-stress professions, such as veterans and first responders, who often experience trauma, anxiety, and stress-related disorders.

In the PERVIEW method, which emphasizes personal empowerment, resilience, and vision, NLP techniques help individuals reframe limiting beliefs and overcome emotional barriers. For example, veterans and first responders who have faced traumatic events can use NLP to shift from a mindset of helplessness to one of control and strength. NLP also aids in breaking down negative thought patterns, helping these individuals regain confidence in their ability to navigate difficult situations.

Additionally, NLP’s use of sensory-based interventions allows for immediate emotional regulation, which can be crucial for those experiencing the aftereffects of trauma. By incorporating NLP within the PERVIEW framework, coaches can assist clients in developing new, healthier ways of thinking and responding, ultimately leading to greater emotional resilience and improved quality of life. This holistic approach not only supports the individual but also strengthens their relationships with family members who may be impacted by their experiences.

Schedule of Daily Practices for Your Coaching Business: Help clients develop daily routines that keep their narrative and vibration uplifted. We’ve discussed many strategies in Now it’s about tailoring a sustainable regimen. Some best practices:
   •   Morning Intention-Setting: Encourage them to start each day with the new story in mind. It could be through reading a statement or affirmation (“I am a thriver, not just a survivor, and today I will act like it”), a few minutes of visualization (seeing themselves handling the day’s tasks with confidence and calm), or a quick meditation. This “tunes” them to the right frequency before old stressors hit.
   •   Gratitude and Journaling: A nightly gratitude journal or a short narrative journal helps them reflect on the day’s story. They can jot down how they saw their new narrative play out, and note any exceptions or successes. If things went poorly, they can use the journal to process it through the lens of what they’re learning (“Today was hard, but I noticed I didn’t spiral as far down as I would have last year. That’s progress.”).
   •   Mind-Body Maintenance: Recommend that they integrate activities that support emotional regulation – exercise, adequate sleep, mindfulness practices, time in nature. These keep their baseline vibration higher, making it easier to stay in the new story and not revert to old reactive patterns. Even something like listening to uplifting music or motivational talks during their commute can reinforce positive messaging.
   •   Identity Cues: Suggest that they place reminders of their new story in their environment. It could be a sticky note on the mirror with a key phrase (“Remember your strength”), a symbolic object on their desk (like a small anchor to remind them of stability, or a butterfly symbolizing transformation), or setting their phone wallpaper to an image that represents their new life chapter. These cues help redirect them if they start falling back into old thought habits during daily life.
   •   Buddy System: If possible, pair them up (or have them find) an accountability buddy – maybe another client who went through PERVIEW or a friend who is also focusing on personal growth. They can check in with each other regularly, share their stories of success or struggle, and practice gratitude together. This not only keeps them accountable but also normalizes the idea of deliberate self-development through narrative.
   •   Periodic “Story Revisits”: Encourage the client that even after formal coaching ends, they should periodically revisit their story and perhaps update it. Life is dynamic, and new challenges will arise. A “quantum storyteller” mindset means they will continue to adapt their narrative. Perhaps they set aside a day each month to reflect: “Am I living the story I want to be living? Where am I slipping? What new events do I need to integrate into the story?” This way, they remain the active author of their life.

Case Example: To illustrate a successful integration, consider a hypothetical but representative case of a first responder: John is a firefighter who came to coaching with severe burnout and PTSD from a disastrous fire. Initially, his story (mostly unspoken but evident) was: “I failed to save people; I’m guilty and broken; life is just stress.” Over a series of sessions using PERVIEW, John rediscovered his pre-trauma self (a dedicated, brave community hero who also loved surfing with friends on weekends – something he’d stopped doing). He externalized his inner critic by calling it “The Judge” that constantly punished him for not being perfect. He understood that this harsh voice originally tried to push him to be better and prevent future mistakes (Sympathize), but he also saw how it was tearing him down and costing him sleep and relationships (Revise). John recalled a “wow moment” that despite all his pain, he mentored a new rookie at the station last month and felt useful again. In fact, he realized he still had so much knowledge and care to give – an exception to the idea that he was “useless now.” Building on that, he strategized by volunteering to train junior firefighters twice a week, which made him feel proud and connected. John then rewrote his story: yes, he carries scars from that tragedy, but he is a survivor who honors the fallen by teaching others and who balances duty with self-care (he even went back to surfing and found it therapeutic). He shared this story in a letter to his firefighting crew and family, thanking them for support and stating his goals openly. The crew responded with a standing ovation at the station and a few others opened up about their own struggles – a ripple effect of healing. In follow-up months, John continued therapy and maintained his practices (gratitude journal, mentoring, therapy group). He still has tough days, but he no longer identifies with the “broken hero” story. He identifies as a resilient mentor and family man. This composite example shows how integrating story and energy work can lead to durable, empowering change.

Best Practices Summary: To build a quantum storytelling practice: be intentional about story-listening, use tools like PERVIEW to structure transformation, maintain an awareness of the energetic tone in the room, and equip clients with daily-life techniques to sustain high vibrations. Be patient and celebrate incremental change. Remember that you as the practitioner are also part of the story – your belief in the client’s capacity to change is itself a positive wave that influences them. As one trauma expert wisely said, “the goal for survivors…is to own our stories, and all of the different parts, over time, when we are ready, by ourselves and with others whom we trust.” . Your role is to guide clients to that place of owning their story, with authenticity and support. When clients become active creators of their narratives, they transition from feeling like passive victims of fate to feeling like empowered protagonists of their lives. That shift in identity is often the biggest quantum leap of all.
