Do you want to experience peace even in difficult situations?
Would you like your relationships to be loving?
Would you like to feel more connected to your real self?
Are you the person that you created yourself or are you something much more? Who are you behind your form, your beliefs and your thoughts? These questions you open and wonder about in the You Choose process, when you search for your real self. In the process, you will be able to find yourself and see what kinds of beliefs are shadowing your life. You are free to choose if you want to let go of those beliefs which are limiting your life. The process is gentle and safe. We want to help you find the original cause behind your thoughts, emotions and sensations. We see every human being as a whole person and treating just a part of it will not be enough.
It is possible to let go of the thought patterns of the past, they are usually born out of misunderstandings. We all create beliefs in different situations already in an early age (personal beliefs), and we also carry thought patterns created by the consciousness of the societies we life in (collective beliefs). This is how thought and belief systems unconsciously shape our live in the present moment. You, and we all, may repeatedly find ourselves in situations where we belief that our beliefs are ‘the truth’. Sometimes we find ourselves in a “stage of life” where we act only from our beliefs. The person acting there is not the real you.
The You Choose process is like a spiral:
You can’t put away or avoid the past memory, but you have the possibility to choose to let go of the belief you made. Then the belief does not determine and limit your life in the same way anymore.
We have created a You Choose workbook and after a few facilitated processes you will be able and have the possibility to use it independently.

The process of creating the You Choose workbook started in 2016 when TEKES made the decision to grant it with money for innovating projects. The project was created by Piiu Alén and Riemer Kingma and produced by Terhi Takanen from CoCreators Oy. The You Choose process was piloted in 2017 in both Helsinki and England. Thank you TEKES and Terhi.
The ideas behind You Choose come from our own learnings and experiences. We have been inspired by psychodrama and the teachings we have received from the trainings of Byron Katie, Eckhart Tolle, Brandon Bays, Tara Brach, and Jack Kornfield, as well as lectures and works by many other thinkers and trainers. Many thanks to everyone.
In the process of developing the You Choose the values in our ‘compass’ were; CLARITY, LOVE, TRUST and ACCEPTANCE.

The You Choose process is like a spiral:
- It starts from an experience that is bothering you.
- You are asked to identify the emotions, feelings, and thoughts you experiencing in that situation.
- The strongest of those emotions will bring you to a memory of where you experienced these feelings for the first time. The situation has certainly been different.
- In the next step you will find the belief and thought systems that were created there.
- In the process it is possible for you to choose to let go of the belief.
- After letting go of the belief, you go back to the situation where the process began and sense how you experience it now.
You can’t put away or avoid the past memory, but you have the possibility to choose to let go of the belief you made. Then the belief does not determine and limit your life in the same way anymore.
