A Few Basic Steps
Often, people enter treatment looking for quick results. Yes, there is medication that takes the edge off; however, the problem can still remain. This is because there are reasons for depression, anxiety, mood swings, or anything else. According to Spiritual Psychology, your ailments have educational value for the soul. If we process through these issues, they are gone forever. If not,...Learn More
Enhanced Healing
I believe one of the benefits of running your own counseling center is the freedom to adjust your approach and emphasize what is the most effective way of obtaining the proper results you would like to see in the clients. One way I do this is by applying the approaches to myself. A recent health scare caused me to reevaluate my priorities and focus on what truly mattered while my body...Learn More
Holistic Treatment
If you’ve tried counseling before, gotten nowhere, and feel nothing out there works, let me introduce you to something different called Spiritual Psychology. I had gone through many different types of counseling, as well as seminars and lectures, to improve myself, but when I studied this approach in school, I was amazed with the results. Since 2001, I have used Spiritual Psychology at the...Learn More
Freeing Your Mind
I realized I have been trying to spread the news of Spiritual Psychology for 32 years. For the past 10 years, I have been writing these articles, now numbering in the hundreds. It is exciting to share something that drastically impacted my life, and because of it, I transformed from a drug addict to owning my own mental health clinic. The tools I present aren’t new to the industry, with...Learn More
How Did This Happen?
You’ve heard the statement, “What’s the worst thing that can happen?” Instead, why not focus on the best thing that can happen? You see, when we focus on the worst things, we create the worst things. The flip side can bring to you your dreams — and it sure did for me. At Basic Steps Mental Health, we teach our participants how to focus on what they want. These “Ideal Scenes” help people...Learn More
How to Use the Universal Power
From time to time, I ask myself why I am withholding a lot of valuable information that was taught at the University of Santa Monica. Many of these techniques are ones I use daily in my practice and have helped thousands of people. Being in an almost trance-like state while counseling others has helped me survive an industry I have worked in for over 30 years, many of those years spent at...Learn More
The Energetic to Psychology
One cannot deny that each cell in our body is comprised of an electric charge. If we were to view ourselves as energetic beings, then we have the capacity to choose whether to emit positive or negative energy. When a person walks into a room, their energy impacts it. Some emit a creepy vibe that puts you on guard, while others may fill you with a sense of joy. What impact do you have on a...Learn More
The Number One Healing Tool
As an advocate of Spiritual Psychology, sometimes I feel like a lone wolf in the wilderness. In a world where CBT and DBT get much of the attention, I’ve seen each approach not get the results that are desired, giving psychotherapy a bad rap. If you are in acute distress, behaving a certain way, thinking a certain way, or using anger as a defense will lead to poor results. Then maybe it is...Learn More
12 Steps vs Spiritual Psychology
When somebody remarked in group that our program is not the 12 Steps, a fire was ignited. And no, it is not. When I was admitted into graduate school, I had been working at a 12-Step facility for years and quickly learned that this was the real thing. This is not to say that the 12 Steps are horrible and that people don’t heal and grow from its application, but being a brash young man, I...Learn More
