What is Empowerment Breakthrough?
What is MER?
Mental and Emotional Release® (MER) is a clinically researched approach designed to help release stress, anxiety, fear, and other negative emotions. You will learn to utilize MER to overcome procrastination, depression, and phobias, resulting in quick, lasting change for any individual. Combining this with NLP provides an innovative approach to understanding and directing human experience, communication, and behavior. MER was created by applying a therapeutic process to the concept of an internal memory storage system. The result is a collection of techniques which produces long-lasting transformation faster than what is currently called Brief Therapy. These powerful MER techniques are becoming the method of choice to make fast, effective, long-term changes in behavior.

Valen Bishop
Trainer of NLP
Trainer(s) are subject to change.
Trainer's Bio
Valen Bishop is one of the lead trainers of NLP. She is known for her heart-centered approach to her teaching as well as her authenticity, kindness, and approachability.
“I especially like to help people bring more purpose to their lives and to live more meaningful lives. And the first step is always to help them discover what that means and what it looks like for them as unique individuals.”
Valen grew up in Kodiak, Alaska where she became interested in nature and how we interact with our environment. “In my culture, people lived off and with the land. There is a great deal of respect there and It is something that I am passionate about.” This passion led her to study Environmental Science. Valen also worked for the Alaskan Native Corporations which operate according to the guiding principles of Alaska Native values in the way they manage their lands, resources, and investments to generate economic opportunities.
Along with her passion for the environment, Valen has also had a strong interest in personal growth. “I have been into personal growth and development as long as I can remember. I read quite a few books on the subject while I was in high school and out on the boat when I was commercial fishing. The idea of being empowered and creating my reality was a powerful mindset for me when I was younger.
Valen took her first official NLP course in 2017. “I realized that many of the previous courses I’d taken and books I’d read were NLP. They just didn’t call it NLP. And of all the courses I went through, Empowerment, Inc. was the most comprehensive and provided the most practical tools.”
Valen came to work for the company in 2018 and became a trainer in 2020. “I believe that people have their own energetic abilities and one of mine is getting ‘downloads.’ When I was younger, I had a clear vision where I saw myself talking in front of a group. Shortly after I started teaching, I had a flashback of that and realized that I am now living out that vision.”
“My main goal in working with people is to help them let go of the reasons and excuses that are holding them back. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being perfectly imperfect and having fun while continuing to evolve in who you are and how you show up for yourself and others. I hope that comes through in my teachings. If I can be living my dreams and enjoy my life to this level, then so can everyone else.”
Beyond her passion for teaching and personal growth, Valen enjoys hiking, camping, travel, and exploring new places “as a student of life.”
