Non-Dual Psychotherapy

The “medical model” – diagnosis and treatment planning – categorizing human behavior – delving into the past, into childhood – therapist as arcaeologist –these and many other approaches to psychotherapy do not seem to fit me anymore.  As a therapist I do not see my role as one of “expert” who is going to help my client fix the...(more)

non dual psychotherapy

Hi - I like the ideas presented Billy - it is time for a monumental change in the therapeutic arena. The scientific model still prevades every corner of our culture - especially in the Western world - and it is difficult to introduce the whole spectrum of dimensions beyond the everyday without running against issues such as credibility, legitimacy and accountability. A third dimension is always present in my counselling work, and in times when I am engaged in the lovely Carl Rodgers “unconditional positive regard”. Other energy for want of a better word is present, available and enormously helpful and I dont believe we can go on talking about this aspect of our work anecdotally - I believe it needs to be up for a public discussion. I am joining a slowly growing number of therapists who are starting to write about this by using this theme in my Masters thesis topic. The more all “other” phenomena” beyond everyday consensual reality are discussed as a given rather than exception I think we will eventually bring it all out of the closet. Really great to know there are people such as yourself who are thinking in similar ways. Love to hear more! Cheers, Magdalena/Lauren
