Core Process Psychotherapy

Core Process Psychotherapy is founded upon a contemplative and reflective approach. It was developed by Maura Sills and Franklyn Sills. This form of therapy uses our past experiences and behaviors to determine what influences they have on our current sense of being. Core Process Psychotherapy is a blended method of psychotherapy which has its origins in western and Buddhist principles and is viewed as a contemplative form of therapy. The primary element that facilitates recovery in this technique, as in many forms of psychotherapy, is safety. The therapist provides an atmosphere of privacy, security, and freedom of expression in order to elicit the necessary discoveries and responses from the client.

Goal of Core Process Psychotherapy

The goal of Core Process Psychotherapy is to change our current suffering and pain by facilitating awareness in our current choices. In this method of therapy, the inner awareness is explored by using feelings, expressions and energies. By identifying our sensory and physical relationship to our experiences, we can apply that creativity in more positive ways in our lives. Core Process is based on the belief that there is an inherent knowledge in our conscious mind that gravitates towards healing. Healing stems from our awareness of how we wield our suffering and from a greater understanding of our own inner knowledge and compassion.

Results of Core Process Psychotherapy

Core Process Psychotherapy explores the energetic, physical, and cognitive self and allows a client to transform and alter every varying layer of his or her existence. The results can bring complete enlightenment to the client and facilitate acceptance of emotions and behaviors while freeing him or her of the prison of his or her past experiences. People who participate in this form of therapy often describe it as realizing, releasing, and re-designing of their traumatic life circumstances. With this treatment, a client may at once be able to identify with an event that in the past caused emotional trauma, while at the same time achieve complete submersion in the experience from a new, less threatening perspective.
