The Process Healing
Method is a very respectful,
effective therapy and self-empowering for the patient. Since
your subocnsicous is taught the treatment process, you can
self -treat anywhere or anytime. It involves a new way
of thinking for therapists to use this therapy.
Patients
understand it easily. The difference with Process Healing is
that therapists treat the memories of the problem issues. In
simple terms, this means that after we get a list of what bothers
you, you can prioritize the list and the most important issues
are treated first.
Process Healing
allows the therapist to write a treatment plan for therapy
to fit the exact needs and desires of the patient. Patients
are encouraged to bring a list to therapy. Usually all issues
on the list are treated in one session. The issues of some
patients are more complex than others and may take more sessions.
Sometimes, I fail to solve the puzzle and can't treat a difficult
or novel issue.
Though this is viewed as an experimental
treatment method, Dr. Andrade and more than twelve colleagues
in Uruguay and Argentina have been using it for more than two
years.
They
routinely use two techniques called Cognitive Behavior Therapy
with medications (CBT/M) and the tapping techniques (TFT and
EFT). In-house research data confirms
that they find 60% positive results with both of these techniques.
They have treated over 1000 patients who have failed CBT
and tapping and found that they get 60% positive outcomes with
the failures when treated with Process Healing. (Read
Dr. Andrade's Preface to my book)
With this therapy,
I establish rapport with all aspects of your personality by
communicating through your subconscious. The goal is to get
all aspects to want to heal, have their positive qualities
strengthened, and join your main personality. With all aspects
having this goal, there are fewer problems during treatment.
After all aspects give me permission, I teach your subconscious
how to treat your painful issues. Your subconscious learns
a treatment method, internalized EFT, and will be able to treat
all aspects in your personality and other issues. I am aware
of spiritual issues affecting behavior.
During the treatment
process, when treating issues with moderate pain or fear, like
simple phobias or painful memories, you will usually feel the
painful
emotions
gradually reduce to zero or an appropriate level within two
to five minutes. With traumas with intense pain, I use a treatment
strategy that makes treating these memories very safe and virtually
painless, even with fragile parts. I check to see that an
issue is safe to treat to avoid any surprises.
Therapy with Process
Healing works well with all issues, but is very effective with
difficult cases, including Dissociative Disorders, Complex
PTSD, and
addictions. I
charge $100 US per hour but am willing to slide my scale in
special circumstances. If, after the first session, the you
are not satisfied with the results and do not see any progress,
you you can stop therapy with no payment. I
am a Clinical Psychologist registered in British Columbia and
California.

Telephone Therapy
Here is what I usually do over
the telephone in the first session. I review the Consent for
Treatment and discuss the need for a backup therapist or support
person. Then I collect your history, and obtain a list of your
issues to make a treatment plan. I assess for severe trauma and
fragile memories. This is important to avoid the flooding of
emotions. I talk about the development of the personality, the
role of memories in behavior, trauma and the treatment of trauma,
and the joining of treated parts with your main personality.
I then arrange for all aspects of your personality to get on
the treatment team. With permission, I teach your subconscious
how to treat issues and treat a simple phobia to show you
that it works. Then we start treating treatment team members,
replacing problematic beliefs
with self-empowering
beliefs, neutralizing painful memories, and treat intrusions
of any kind. We will start treating issues on your list. I treat
the most damaging issues first, such as suicidal thoughts and
other self-damaging behavior.
In the handouts (Click

1. a description of treatment
2. a session note that shows the figures that I refer to when I talk
about the development of the personality, the role of memories in
behavior, trauma and the treatment of trauma, and the joining of
treated parts with your main personality,
3.
What to expect after treatment with Process Healing
4. how to use your subconscious at home, and

2. After agreeing to work together,
I want the name and telephone number of your therapist. I am
neccedssarily going to call him or her, but I want to know you
have some local support available if you need it. We will discuss
this
on the telephone.
3. Read the handout several
times before we talk. By reading the handout,
it will increase the effectiveness of the first telephone session.
The main reason to do this is that there will no surprises for
you when I work with you. You will have a basic understanding
the education and treatment process in the first session.
4. In our first session, 1 1/2
hours, we will talk about the cost of treatment. I give the first
session free if you decide to not continue treatment. I will
charge one hour for the first session if you decide to continue
in therapy.
