About Shane Berry

Helping you loosen the grip of past memories—without reliving them.

I work with people who already understand their past, but still feel the emotional weight of certain memories in their everyday life. My work is focused, practical, and designed to help you change how specific memories affect you—without reopening old wounds.

Since 2014, I’ve been integrating Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) with a content-free approach to memory work, so clients can stay fully oriented and in control throughout each session.

A bit more about me

Clear on the past. Still feeling it in the present.

Many of my clients come to me after doing a lot of personal work already. They’ve read the books, been to therapy, and have a clear understanding of what happened in their past. They can explain it, contextualize it, and often even see how it shaped them.

And yet, certain memories still carry a charge. A moment, a look, a phrase, a specific day—it continues to echo in the body long after it’s been intellectually processed. That gap between understanding and how it still feels is where my work focuses.

Since 2014, I’ve been helping clients use practical, structured tools to change how specific memories show up in their emotional experience—without needing to tell the whole story again, re-live the moment, or turn it into a bigger identity project.

Working with clients since 2014
Specialized in content-free approaches to memory work
Focused on practical, structured change—not endless analysis

My goal is simple: reduce the emotional charge of specific memories so they no longer run the show.

My approach

Content-free memory work that keeps you in control.

What “content-free” means

You don’t have to retell the full story, revisit every detail, or go deeper into the narrative of what happened. Instead, we work with how your mind and body are representing a specific memory right now.

You remain fully present, oriented, and in charge throughout the process.

What we focus on

Specific memories that still feel charged
How those memories show up in your body and emotions
Adjusting the way your mind encodes those experiences
Reducing intensity so they become part of the past again

What this is not

This work is not therapy, counseling, or mental health treatment. I do not diagnose, treat, or manage mental health conditions. Instead, I offer educational, coaching-based tools that help you relate differently to specific memories you already understand.

Who I work with

You don’t need more insight. You need the charge to come down.

If you’re an individual who has already done a fair amount of reflection or personal work, but specific memories still feel too loud, my work may be a good fit. I primarily support people who:

This work may resonate if:

You can talk about what happened, but it still feels raw inside.
You’re tired of revisiting the same story without much change.
You want a practical, contained process instead of an open-ended one.
You value staying grounded, oriented, and in control during inner work.

When this is not a fit:

Because this is educational, coaching-based work, it’s not appropriate if you are currently in crisis, need clinical support, or are looking for diagnosis or treatment for a mental health condition.

In those situations, a licensed mental health professional is the right next step. My work can sometimes be complementary, but it is not a substitute for therapy or medical care.

What it’s like to work together

A structured, conversational process—without drama or pressure.

Sessions are calm, collaborative, and highly focused. I’ll walk you through specific exercises, ask targeted questions, and guide your attention—not your emotions—so we can adjust how a particular memory is wired in your system.

Before we begin

We’ll identify the specific memory or theme you’d like to work with, clarify your goals, and make sure this approach is appropriate for you.

During a session

We work with one memory or cluster of related memories.
You share only as much detail as you choose.
I guide you through structured NLP-based processes.
We track changes in how the memory feels as we go.

After our work together

The aim is that the memory feels more distant, less gripping, and less central to how you experience yourself. It becomes something that happened, not something that keeps happening inside you.

You’ll also leave with a clearer sense of how this kind of work functions, so you can decide if and how you’d like to continue.
