Core Process
Psychotherapy is an integrative form of psychotherapy which
draws on Buddhist and western teachings. As with most forms of psychotherapy,
Core Process is a one to one form, with privacy, confidentiality, and
safety being of paramount importance. It is generally but not necessarily medium
to long term it nature.
This forms roots are perhaps found to be deepest within Buddhist
teachings, (Dharma). The four
noble truths and many other Buddhist teachings are a tenant of this form. Core Process is best described as being a
contemplative approach to psychotherapy.
It's purpose is to look at how we are now, in this moment, how
we express past conditioning, in doing this we can consider transforming our
relationship to suffering in order to have a greater and deeper understanding of
our
relationship with life in the present.
Core process provides an opportunity to work with the depth of
our existence and explore our own processes which condition both who we are and
how we are in the present moment.
For example, when working with early life
experience which
many may consider as regression, Core Process works with this as an experience
in the present moment which is how we are now, a conditioned self. We are all
conditioned by past experiences, both good and bad. By doing this within the
context of the present core process brings a deeper awareness and an opportunity to transform this life conditioning and become
our true selves.
As with many psychospiritual forms of psychotherapy, Core
Process Psychotherapy (CPP) looks at both cognitive, energetic, and physical
being, it provides an opportunity to work on the many levels of our existence,
avoiding fixating on particular aspects but encompassing all.
By looking at ourselves from all
aspects we can come to accept, understand, and move on with a greater
and deeper understanding of "self"
Perhaps most importantly CPP works
with bringing true awareness to the client, enabling acceptance and
understanding to grow without remaining trapped by past experience.
Letting go of but not loosing suffering in the past, present and future.
On a simple level one may experience
an event as very difficult and painful, yet that same experience could
become a pleasure at another time, from a different perspective, yet we
may perceive the experience as the same.
Although much of it's bases is rooted within Buddhism, it is
not a "religious" form of therapy. It is a balance between cognitive
analytical process informed by Freud, Jung, Pavlov, Winnicott, Perls, and many others, as well as the spiritual teachings and philosophies of the east.
The name perhaps best describes its form.
Core - The Unconditioned Self.
Process - The way we are in the moment, how we respond
to our world from both our unconditioned self and the conditioned self is our
process.
