Create a Healing Home

Create a Healing Home!

Truehome's Healing Home exercises help reduce stress, improve health, empower life goals and enhance relationships. They give you clues, tools and tips that enable you to use the design and decor of your home to focus your attention on creating positive outcomes in any aspect of your life.

Create a Home That Soothes Your Head and Your Heart

If you think about it, that's what the architecture of a church, a synagogue, or a mosque does for those who worship. It's what the gym does for those who love to work out. It's what the corner office does for a high-level executive.

We have all experienced environments that fill us with wonder or wellbeing -
a stand of redwoods, the home of a loving grandparent, or the vision in your mind of your dream home.

What if you could use the deep emotional cues built into your brain about your environment to consciously create your life? Creating a Healing Home starts with identifying your emotional needs, life goals and values. Our Healing Home exercises guide you through creating constructive emotional goals for every room in your home.

Create a home that feels like you want it to feel! Should your master bath be about rejuvenation or serenity? Would you prefer
a feeling of openness in your great room for big family get-togethers or a cozy sitting room that fosters adult conversation? If you're not sure, our Healing Homes exercises will help you figure it out. Then share the results of the exercises with pros who can help make your dreams a reality.

Reduce Stress with Truehome

Reduce Stress in Your Life

Many of us suffer from the unproductive choices we make in life - in our diet, our levels of exercise or our careers. Some of us struggle to feel worthy, fulfilled, successful or loved.

Truehome's Healing Home exercises show you how to face and manage life's everyday challenges and make better choices. Developing a greater awareness of your feelings helps you create a home that satisfies those emotional needs.

Overcome Conflict with Truehome

Overcome Conflict

A home is a profoundly emotional environment. Designing a living space with a spouse or partner has a tendency to bring those emotions to the forefront when priorities conflict. Money issues and deadlines can add to the stress, making complex projects overwhelming. Healing Home exercises give you the opportunity to reconcile those differences early when buying or designing a home and keep stress levels to a minimum.

Managing relationships with home professionals is another important element in creating a healing home. Truehome gives you the opportunity to get to know a professional through our social network. Read about other clients' experiences when working with them, and view a detailed ProFile before you decide to interview them.

Home Ergonomics

Ergonomics is the science of designing to fit the experience of the user.

More than most things, your home should fit the life you want to live. It's an eco-system that supports your entire family, and should be designed to fit the behavior, goals, values and needs of all its inhabitants.

Neuroscientists estimate we are unaware of as much as 95% of what our brains do each day. These unconscious responses are built into our behaviors by our genetic history and developmental experience. At Truehome, we call these emotionally-charged memories "building blocks." They are the bricks and mortar of what we call your emotional architecture.

Your True Home Awaits

Past experiences inspire emotional reactions in the present. We are often unaware how much they impact our choices in positive and negative ways.

Particularly important are memories of childhood homes. Different backgrounds and cultures forge different views of home. Our My Family exercises explore your personal experience so your family can craft a home that fits the life you want to create.

It's simple, really. When we identify how your brain responds to the features of a house, we can predict what details are most likely to help you feel at home.

What the Experts are Saying

Psychologists and Academics

"The Truehome Workshop is a credible tool that seeks out the design that will prove to be nurturing to our needs, allows us to heal when necessary, to take refuge from the stresses of work and the world at large, and to regain our equilibrium. Clinical intuition supports Travis' work in this regard but, more importantly, the behavioral and brain sciences both lead me to believe it will be effective as a strategy for the design of positive, progressive, healing environments for living."

Cecil Reynolds, Ph.D., Internationally known expert in psychological testing and assessment, author of The Handbook of School Psychology, and the Encyclopedia of Special Education, Past President of the National Academy of Neuropsychology and the author of many psychological test including the Test of Memory and Learning (TOMAL) and the Behavioral Assessment System for Children, one of the most widely used psychological testing tools in the United States.

“I have been particularly impressed by how Truehome was built with a sophisticated psychological theory at its core to create a set of exercises that are engaging and intuitive without sacrificing rigor or depth. I believe that Truehome, more so than any conventional design process, will help clients create spaces that match their personalities, ultimately resulting in happier, healthier lives."

Sam Gosling, Ph.D., University of Texas behavioral psychologist, research scientist and internationally known expert on personality. Author of The Secret Language of Stuff.

“People mostly look upon their homes as structures in which to live. But what if the home was much more, a living extension of the people living in it? What if the home could adapt to their physical, emotional and physiological needs of its occupants?
“Wouldn’t we all be happier if our homes served us, rather than the other way around? Truehome is an innovative approach to home design and remodeling that incorporates cutting edge cognitive, ecological and physiological principles in a way that puts the homeowner in control of the place she inhabits.”

J Scott Turner, Associate Professor of Biology, SUNY College of Environmental Science & Forestry. Author of The Extended Organism. The Physiology of Animal-Built Structures and The Tinkerer’s Accomplice. How Design Emerges from Life Itself.

"Chris Travis has uncovered an often overlooked factor in home building and remodeling; that each project is to become the home of a living, breathing, feeling family. A home is not just boards and nails...it cradles a family."

Jack Greeson, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist, Jack Greeson and Assoc. (Also Truehome Design client)

"The Truehome Workshop and training manual are excellent practical tools."
