Core Process Psychotherapy
About Core Process Psychotherapy....
Core Process is an integrative form of psychotherapy which draws on Buddhist and western teachings. As with most forms of psychotherapy, Core Process Psychotherapy is a one to one form, with privacy, confidentiality, and client safety being paramount. It is generally but not necessarily medium to long term in nature.
Core Process Psychotherapy is based on a depth of understanding of human personality process and human potential. The Core is understood to be an inherently open and luminous state at the heart of our being.
It manifests as a state of presence and awareness at the core of our self-system whose qualities are equanimity, compassion, loving kindness and joy.
Core Process describes the developmental process involved in the generation of a sense of self from the earliest moments of life through to adulthood, which stems from a process of responding to the relational environments that are encountered.
Core Process Psychotherapy facilitates an awareness of this moment-to-moment shaping process as we bring awareness to inner and outer experiences. It holds the possibility that we can let go of these self-views we have created and rest in our potential for pure awareness, compassion and joy.
In Core Process work both the therapist and client are engaged in a joint healing process where an awareness of the body, its feelings and feeling tones. The content and states of mind that arise, are used to explore the nature of selfhood and suffering.
The therapist's essential role is that of reflector and facilitator of awareness. The heart of Core Process work is oriented to the belief that true healing is only possible to the extent that we can be fully present to the immediacy of our inner and outer experience.
