The Mind Matrix Model: How to understand your mind and improve your quality of life

Discover a new way to understand your mind, your emotions, and your life.

In The Mind Matrix Model, integrative health practitioner and educator Sam McClellan presents a groundbreaking framework for personal transformation. Drawing on nearly five decades of experience and collaboration with leaders in psychology, neuroscience, and mindfulness traditions, McClellan shows how your experiences, reactions, and patterns of thought are shaped by the dynamic interplay of three core aspects of self: the Vital Self (body and survival), the Heart Self (emotions and relationships), and the Head Self (thoughts and beliefs).

At the center of the model is the concept of State regulation-your ability to shift from reactive, negative states into balanced, positive ones. Using clear explanations, relatable stories, and practical exercises, McClellan guides you to:

• Recognize which Self is driving your reactions in any moment.
• Identify patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior that keep you stuck.
• Apply targeted Override Strategies to break unhelpful loops and restore clarity.
• Employ targeted strategies including different therapy modalities and self-care using acupressure and other holistic health approaches.

The Mind Matrix Model offers a complete toolkit for self-understanding and change. Whether you are seeking relief from anxiety, healing from trauma, or simply wanting to live with more clarity and connection, this book provides both the map and the methods to get there.
