WHAT IS HEALTH PATTERNING?

By
Becoming increasingly AWARE
Making more powerful CHOICES
Feeling FREE to act on their INTENTIONS and
INVOLVING themselves in CREATING CHANGE

Soon after people sit down in my office during our initial meeting, I ask them, “What do you want?”  This is the most important question.  I need to know one to three issues the person wants to resolve, and we go from there.  These things become the major focus of our work together.

Health Patterning is not just talk therapy.  It is an alternative to conventional psychotherapy that I have been developing for over 30 years.  The present-oriented focus is on education for living a meaningful and quality life; there is no focus on diagnosis and treatment of pathology.  The crux of Health Patterning evolves from the ideas of Power as Knowing Participation in Change that help people to change their limiting beliefs, disturbing emotions, and other difficulties in living.  It is a phenomenological approach for understanding people and their world and is based on the belief that people are unitary human beings, meaning they are different from the sum of their parts and cannot be understood simply by having knowledge about their physical, mental, emotional, social, moral, or spiritual aspects.  To really understand people is to see them as unitary persons in a mutual process with the entirety of their environment, including other people, places, and things.

Now what does all of this have to do with you?  In a nutshell, Health Patterning is an alternative psychotherapy that will teach you how to make the changes you want to make.  Based on documented research studies and a philosophy of wholeness and the mutual process of people and their world, I developed this practice model that is designed to enhance one’s power-as-freedom through opening the four doorways of awareness (A), choices (C), freedom to act intentionally (F), and involvement in creating change (I).  These four qualities (A, C, F, I) when inseparably united define power as the capacity to participate knowingly in change.  Power is the ability to make aware choices with the intention of freely creating intended change, yet having no attachment to outcomes.  In other words, power is being aware of what one is choosing to do, feeling free to do it, and doing it intentionally. 

Through a dialogue of meaning, together with healing modalities including guided imagery, Therapeutic Touch, dream reading, and the practices of will. Health Patterning helps people become aware of feelings, thoughts, actions, and attitudes within a gentle life-affirming and caring atmosphere.  The general focus includes lifestyle changes, struggles with illness, and resolution of other difficulties in living.

What can Health Patterning do for you?  Transformation of yourself, sparked by a creative, ever-changing mutual process with the Health Patterning therapist, happens when you continuously actualize your potentials for becoming the person you truly want to be.  In other words, you come to recognize your power-as-freedom and to use it wisely without interfering with the freedom of others or harming others.  This is a life-changing process.  The Health Patterning Modalities and Power Prescriptions can promote your healing and relieve your pain as well as help you to release unwanted emotions such as anxiety, depression, anger, and guilt.  Relationship difficulties, emotional issues, preparing for surgery, chronic illness, financial and employment concerns, and end-of-life issues are only a few of the situations that can be helped through Health Patterning.
