Would it be good to have a four-hour session to attack the issue?
I
prefer hour-long sessions. With much processing, the patient can
become very tired.
Even when patients travel
to see me, I would see them 2 or 2 ½ hours in the morning and the
same in the afternoon.
What if we work 5 sessions and I experience no change?
We would discuss
whether it is fitting to continue or not. Most patients who experience
no change are seeking
help with chronic pain or physical issues.
Is
Process Healing over the telephone as effective as done face-to-face?
Sometimes, it
may be more effective over the telephone, in others cases, less
effective. I get patients over the telephone
who have more difficult issues.
Is each telephone session one-hour in duration?
Each session
is one hour. The first session is 1 1/2 hour in length with a one-hour
charge.
I live in another country, would it still be possible to do this
over the phone?
Yes. We will
have to decide who will pay the telephone bill.
What’s
the longest number of telephone sessions you have needed to cure
a difficult
problem?
I have
been working with one patient for over two years and continuing.
Patients
who have a complex disorders
and a severe personality syndrome can be extremely difficult to
treat.
Usually they are very bright and
have a horrendous childhood with many traumas.
Do you permit the patient to record the
session?
Yes.
I feel comfortable with the patient taping the session. I am a
little
more
observant of what I say but that won’t
hurt the treatment session. If they or anyone else listens to the
tape,
they
may get some therapeutic benefit.
Treatment success:
Top
What is your success rate with Process Healing?
In
Latin America, they are getting an average of about 84% success
with all anxiety
cases. (See research or the
complete report) I may get a little higher because I have
all the interventions that are not yet public.
Some cases
are complex, which I haven't solved. I believe that all issues
are treatable,
even the very difficult issues.
It is just a matter of finding the key and solving the problem.
Will I experience change in the first session?
I
try to have all patients experience change
in the first session. Most all patients experience change
with the test issue,
like a phobia. Occasionally the issues are treated in the first
session and they come back months later when they find another
issue.
A few don’t notice any change but do after the second session.
Change is not always experienced after every session.
However, I have tried TFT over the phone, and it has failed. Does
this mean Process Healing will fail?
No.
With Process Healing, rapport is obtained with all aspects
of your personality, which simplifies therapy.
With TFT and other therapies, some of these aspects become barriers.
Also, the subconscious learns to treat barriers automatically,
which
simplifies treatment.
I have tried other
therapies. Why would your therapy work?
The
chance for Process Healing to be successful is probably higher than
all other therapies
because it is very respectful. Showing
respect removes many barriers. In addition, it is possible to
treat many other behavioral, emotional and spiritual conditions
that block
other therapies.
Why do you think it doesn't work for some people?
I
believe Process Healing will work for all people. However,
symptoms in
people with psychosis, extreme
personality disorders, physical damage to the brain or "spiritual" barriers
are difficult to treat. Barriers caused by novel, complex memory
or neurological structures require more or less problem-solving.
If it doesn't work in the first session, do I get the session free?
It
depends on whether you continue in therapy. Because I am not successful
in getting change in the first session does not remove
the fact that I laid the groundwork for success in a later session.
If you decide to not continue, then the first session is free.
If I do therapy with you, can I stop my medications?
No.
I don’t advise patients
to stop their medications. I try to treat all symptoms that
are
present while the patient is taking
medication. When those symptoms are treated, gone, I work with
the doctor or psychiatrist to gradually lower the medication.
During
this process, the patient and I watch the symptoms and try to treat
them all.
How many telephone sessions would it take to completely remove or
cure the problem?
I'd
guess that it would take between 3 and 10 sessions. A better
estimate
would be possible after the first
session. Still, there may be some unusual memory structure, neural
distortion or "spiritual" aspects that could present
significant and difficult barriers and require much problem-solving.
Usually,
these problems are not present.
Do you guarantee results with Process Healing?
No,
I don’t guarantee success
because I am not successful with all patients. I guarantee
that I will
problem-solve and will probably
get results. If the issue is extremely complex, a physical problem
or involves a motivational cause, the patient and I will reassess
progress in the fifth session.
Treatment
mechanics
Top
Do patients get bored when you talk to their fingers?
I
try to get around boredom by encouraging the patient’s participation
in the treatment process and ask them to watch the process to
learn what I say so they can do what I do
after they leave my office. Even with this, some patients get bored.
How do you get answers out of the subconscious mind, like is it
the first answer that comes into my head?
Sometimes,
when I ask, "Can I talk to your subconscious?"
The patient hears a distinct “Yes” in his or her head. Other times
there is no response. I prefer to get contact with the subconscious
after explaining the development of the personality and then using
finger responses – “Yes,” “No,” “I don’t know” and “I don’t want
to tell you,” to communicate with parts and the subconscious.
What if the subconscious doesn't respond and I don't have any finger
movements?
This
has always worked. I assume the subconscious can hear what I am
saying and use the same problem-solving strategies without
having the luxury of finger responses. Eventually, the finger responses
start working correctly.
Do you ever muscle testing with a surrogate when you are treating?
I
have not done Process Healing with a surrogate. However, sometime
I ask my subconscious about the process
in the patient or to double check the response given by my patient’s
subconscious. I have done remote treatments that appear to have
worked.
Will
I have “homework” to do between sessions?
Sometimes
I give homework. An example is to list all the issues (beliefs or
emotions) that you want to treat
in the next session.
Treatment
Top
How did you discover the Process Healing Method?
I
was trained in behavior modification, hypnosis, Neurolinguistic
Programming and Eye movement Desensitization
and Reprocessing and, then, my patients taught me.
Will I feel anything when the subconscious is treating some issue?
The
experience of the treatment process ranges from none to varied.
Usually, the patient feels some sensation in the brain. Other
times,
patients feel confusion, muscle, joint, or organ sensations. These
physical experiences are usually a symptom of the memory being
treated.
Will I have to reexperience the trauma when it is treated?
As
a general rule, you will not have to reexperience the trauma. I
had one patient
who had the
entire trauma in their conscious memory
and I had to treat her trauma with EFT because the trauma flooded
her and seemingly the subconscious couldn't’t communicate. Another
patient had to experience the trauma as directed by the subconscious
to learn from the content and emotions of the trauma. Occasionally,
parts wake up and flood the conscious experience.
How do you treat some issue I don't even remember?
I
assume that when you describe issue, but don’t remember the cause
of the issue, the subconscious is able to access the cause of the
issue and engage in problem-solving and treating the issue.
Do your talk out issues
like other mental health professionals?
With
some patients who really need to talk, I talk. But I offer my opinion
that a lot of talk does not necessarily
cause change and that I like to treat an issue first and then talk
about it when it is not emotionally sensitive. Talking after the
issue is treated helps identify other aspects of the issue that
needs attention.
What if I feel worse afterwards? What can I do?
You
can ask your subconscious to treat your painful feelings. You
can telephone me if it is extremely scary or painful. I get few
telephone calls for this reason.
What
happens if I freak out while I am on the telephone with you?
If
you were aware of fragile parts or emotions, I would hope that
you decide to either not
engage
in telephone therapy or to forewarn
me so I can be especially sensitive to this possibility. We could
decide to have a support person with you or even do the therapy
while you are in your therapist’s office.
Privacy questions
Top
What if I
don't remember my childhood? Do I have to?
No.
Your subconscious has access to your childhood experiences. We
will access your trauma experiences through the beliefs, emotions
or other symptoms that you bring to my attention.
What if I don't like
working with a man? (Big issue for some women)
If
you don’t like working
with a man and you want to work with me, we can treat that
as an issue
so you feel more comfortable working
with me. Otherwise, you would have to find a woman therapist.
What if I
don't want to tell you what's going on?
You simply think of the issue or symptom and the subconscious and
I can problem-solve and try to treat the issue.
Is your telephone
tapped?
I never know for sure. Because I work with some patients who have
had some connection with government agencies or crime, there is
a possibility that someone may bug my room or tap my telephone to
find out what I am doing in therapy.
Handling treatment issues
Top
How do you
treat depression?
I have had good success treating depression. I have a protocol
to treat depression that works well.
How about simple job stress?
I have treated job stress. Often earlier trauma or beliefs that
are not healthy may cause or contribute to job stress. Other times
it involves learning to handle unhealthy coworkers.
Can you treat
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder?
Process Healing is very effective treating PTSD. PTSD usually involves
dissociation and amnesia and Process Healing easily handles both
of these issues and all the other symptoms of PTSD.
Does it work
with all phobias?
I assume that it will work with all phobias. Some phobias may be
very complex and need problem-solving.
Can you treat
public speaking, flying and spider phobias?
These phobias can be treated by Process Healing.
Can you treat
agoraphobia?
I have treated several patients who have had agoraphobia. However
agoraphobia can be complex and may require some serious problem-solving.
My problem
is a form of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Have your ever
been able to cure this problem?
OCD
is difficult to treat though I have had some experience and
may have an easier time
of it.
No guarantees. The problem is that
if there are parts involved, then only the ones that are active
are treated. Other parts wake up later. With a hair-pulling obsession,
after I finally solved the problem, parts awakened to give symptoms
at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months later. The more pervasive
the OCD symptoms are in a person’s behavior, the more difficult
it is to treat it.
Have you ever treated psychotic behavior?
I
have never completely treated psychosis, though I have had major
impact on psychotic patients. With enough
sessions, I believe that a psychotic process can be completely
treated. I treat them as a person with parts. Psychotic patients
learn to
create parts easily and therefore there are 100’s of parts. Treatment
involves steady treatment of parts and unusual learned processes
or memories.
Can you treat physical
issues?
When the pain of the physical issues is caused by memory, then
it is possible to treat the memory and reduce pain. If it is a structural
problem, then Process Healing may not have any effect on the issue,
for example, the cause of the feeling experience of thought broadcasting
and thought intrusions.
Can you treat inflammation
problems?
I
don’t have much experience
treating inflammation problems, but I am told that these problems
are
treated effectively in Latin America.
Have you ever worked with Mind Control or torture abuse survivors?
Yes.
These patients can take months or years to fully treat. I have
treated about eight survivors
and believe I have had success with most of these patients. I have
had some who didn’t like the way I worked and sought treatment
from another local therapist who is an expert in this area.
Spiritual
issues
Top
Do you believe in spirits?
Yes. However, I have a behavioral or scientific
way to understand the source and function of spirits, a model or
analogy that allows me to usually treat them easily. Patients feel
comfortable with my explanation of spirits.
How often do you treat
spirits?
Over half of
my patients had spirits or generational influence that had
to be treated.
I believe that
it is completely normal.
I don’t look for these phenomena but treat them when they are identified
as a problem by the subconscious.
How do you talk about spiritual entities?
I
hypothesize that a personal field that receives information
and gives instructions to our
physical
body runs our behavior and body
functions. Spiritual entities or souls are the personal fields
of people who are deceased. Souls who have enormous trauma when
alive
can be problematic when associating to a living person’s
personal field. Then some qualities of the soul affect the behavior
and emotions of the person.
Are some issues caused by spirits?
Spirits can cause depression, suicidal thoughts, auditory and visual
intrusions and support unwanted issues. Spirits can cause barriers
for treating parts and other memories. Spirits can motivate unwanted
behavior, and interfere with the work of the subconscious and, occasionally,
run the body.
Will I feel
anything when a spiritual thing leaves?
Sometimes a patient feels a swoosh up all or part of their body,
an energy shift in their heart or nothing.
How do you work with spiritual issues?
Because
spirits or souls have run a body when the body was alive, the same
behaviors
are available
when speaking to the soul. I believe
the subconscious is an intermediary between souls and the therapist.
Souls, even very nasty souls, can be treated with respect and
are
often easier to treat than some of the learned issues.
What if my
Karma is part of the problem?
There
are many ways the parents DNA and personal fields of the parent
or past generations
can affect a patient. I have been able
to treat these kinds of problems or barriers. I have more to learn
in this area.
I have this growling
voice in my thoughts that no therapist has touched. Can you
handle
this?
I
have has some experience with both behavioral and spiritual intrusions
like this. I would problem-solve until I found the key to treat
the voice.
Is it dangerous
working with spirits?
All
people and souls deserve love and respect. I believe that by
being gentle, normalizing spirits and treating them with respect,
in most cases there is little or no danger. All spirits want happiness.
