Don Hadlock, the Process Therapy Institute’s founder, give a brief overview of the stages of a client’s journey to healing.

Q: She is low functioning, low fee and wants only to discuss a particular book. Although she is delighted when I invite her to connect with her responses to the book’s passages, I still find myself dreading sessions.

Sending and receiving love are the most important and fulfilling processes that help to make us whole. In fact, they are two parts of a whole – we can’t do more of one than we can the other.

Begin to think of all incoming information as neutral. Consider information as an invitation and perceive it all as valuable to you. An example I think of comes from the 1986 movie Short Circuit, where a newly liberated robot craves input. He proceeds to devour all information available. His intake of information is, in itself, his joy.

Thank you for choosing earth.
We invite you to relax and have fun.
There are some rules. You will discover them as you journey.

Q: Do you suggest ever just telling a client something, that is, educating him?
A: Sure. Honor a client’s need to know. The intellect is as much a part of a person’s organism as his intuition. Often, once the intellect understands, it will give permission for the rest of the personality to begin the integrative work.
