Formless Performance differs from other counselling, psychology and life coaching approaches because it uses what can be described as an "Inside–Out" approach to explain how an individual’s reality is created from their own inner world (thought) and not from outside circumstances. "Inside-Out" means that your perception of the world is coming from within, from the quality of your thoughts and your awareness of how these thoughts are created. Other psychological, self help or business approaches can be described as "Outside-In". "Outside-In" means that the world and all the circumstances and events that happen within it are happening outside the individual and are effectively acting upon them. Using this understanding it would make sense then to try and manipulate the outside world so that it acts favourably on the individual, and thus a myriad of techniques, labels, and models have been developed to try and help control and explain the outside world in order to generate a positive feeling for the individual. "Outside-In" – “My feelings come from my circumstances therefore I need to use a technique to manipulate these circumstances”. "Inside-Out" – “My feelings come from my thoughts therefore I need to develop an understanding of thought and how it works”. Understanding that we are not victims of our circumstances and that we are simply experiencing our own thinking is very liberating and is the key to uncovering our innate health and wisdom, and realising our potential.
