Developments

Those who have worked with me over the years may have noticed an increasing shift in my work from an overt emphasis on the psychological procedures of Core Energetics, to a more integrative approach which incorporates spiritual processes more fully. I see this shift as a natural evolution for, the full picture of who we are is much more than a personality. The aim of these recent developments is to provide a practical, methodical and truly holistic approach to the healing of the psyche which includes spiritual self-realisation and personal development as well as psychotherapeutic principles.

Hence the name Core Integration Psychetherapy, as the focus is not only to connect to our Core but to integrate the spiritual to the personal within our Core. This approach also aims to reclaim the original meaning of psychotherapy which is to heal the soul in Greek, (Therapia=Healing and Psyche=Soul), as that is the intention of this modality. Hence why changing of the spelling of the word psychotherapy to psychetherapy.

Therapy is growth! Psychetherapy is meeting the agenda of our soul which is to grow, develop and evolve. Core Integration Psychetherapy is not only about addressing psychological dysfunction, it is also the unfoldment of our potential that is within our core. It is an expansion of our being that can lead to the fulfillment of our spiritual and personal destiny. The vision of this approach is adhering to the original ethos of the Human Potential Movement, which is therapy as self-discovery as well as self-development as healing of the psyche.

The infusion of Heart of Being into Core Integration results in a truly heart-centered, profoundly spiritual and effective psychetherapeutic practice. The more that essential reality is embodied, the more whole we become and thus the more meaningful, creative and fulfilling our lives can be.
