1. Introduction to the Process Healing course

(Version 12-11-2001)

N.B. Below is a reconstruction of the first page in an 11 page course Dr. Flint provided for free on Process-Healing.com. Please note that the links below may no longer be valid but have been retained for posterity.

Unfortunately, the rest of the course was not captured by the Way Back Machine and has now been lost to time. It is possible to keep track of most of the course by comparing the Table of Contents below to the headings and subheadings in his first book on the PHM – A Theory and Treatment of Your Personality, (2006).

Please note: text that is irrelevant today (such as the mailing list, PDF and email etc) has been italicized and shaded differently to differentiate it from the more relevant information.

This course is a new concept in self-help. A series of web pages teaches you what I have taught my clients and students. They have learned to use Process Healing for themselves to improve their personal and/or professional lives. Freely explore the following ten web pages. Just by reading these web pages, you will learn Process Healing. This will prepare your personality to be comfortable with healing and comfortable with the subconscious learning how to heal negative memories without your assistance. The point of putting this course on the net and giving it away free is to help people. So this Process Healing web site is free and available in a downloadable, self-extracting Adobe PDF file.

So, you have choice, you can read it online or read it off line.

The phealing list is offered as a way to get answers to any questions you may have. Though it is not too active at this point, occasionally interesting information is posted on it that may help you in applying Process Healing on your issues. As more people start using Process Healing, the list may become busier. For those who are reading this at home in their Adobe Reader, here are the instructions for joining the phealing e-mail list. Click this link: phealing e-mail list (No link on the web), and in the body, write: “subscribe phealing” in black without quotes.

Note: I have written a book called Emotional Freedom that is a manual teaching Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). The book was written for the general public and therapists. A chapter in the book gives suggestions that will, in many cases, successfully teach the subconscious of the readers how to heal. Process Healing, as presented on this web site, prepares the reader more carefully by, dealing with any barriers for healing before teaching the healing process. Process Healing is more detailed than what is presented in the book. Click for more details about Emotional Freedom.

Process Healing is a change process based upon clinical experience. It uses a learning model to explain how the brain and personality work. This is an metaphor or theory that gives an explanation of the development of our personality and a number of brain processes. In my experience, the metaphor has been easily accepted and validated by all aspects of the personalities of the people with whom I have worked. As you read the following web pages, you will establish rapport with all aspects of your personality. You will read how painful emotions cause problems. This is a large step towards healing the problems. Old painful experiences and traumas, remembered or not, can continue to be problems in our here-and-now experience. Process Healing not only has a model to explain how these problems are formed and how these problems remain problems, but offers a way to organize all aspects of your personality so the aspects are in a position to want to heal, work together, and join the main personality to get more satisfaction and have less pain. All problems can then be healed safely and respectfully. If this is not enough, the real power of this model is the finding that the subconscious is capable of learning how to change an issue from having painful emotion to not having painful emotion. The subconscious, then, becomes the healer. Clinical experience shows that the subconscious can do healing tasks safely and almost painlessly even with very intense trauma emotions.

Here is an outline of this series of web pages that teaches Process Healing. The first six web pages (2-7) will prepare your personality for learning the healing process. This is primarily an educational process where your personality is offered a theory or analogy about how it came to be the way it is, the reasons why it’s good to heal, explanations that resolve barriers for healing, and support for all your aspects to join a treatment team and adopt common goals. Contact with the subconscious is made by teaching you, while not in trance, to use an ordinary hypnotic technique in which finger movements are used to indicate “yes,” “no,” etc. One hundred percent agreement must be obtained from all your aspects before continuing with the education process. The four remaining web pages (8-11) teach the subconscious how to heal emotional issues, to resolve barriers for healing, to work automatically as an ongoing process healing negative beliefs, memories, and experiences whenever they become active in the unconscious or conscious minds, and to use strategies for healing a number of common issues.

In order to take full advantage of this series of web pages, the following directions should be followed. The web pages are intended to be read, one at a time, in the order they are given. If you have to stop before you complete the series, make a bookmark so you can quickly return to the last page you read. I know this is inconvenient, but if I had a table of contents (Included on the PDF file), everyone would like to see how the healing process is taught and go right to it. The reason Process Healing is so respectful is that it is systematically taught to the whole personality in a way that gives respect to all aspects of your personality. Eventually, all aspects want to join the treatment team and have the subconscious learn the healing process. Having all aspects on the treatment team greatly reduces problems in the healing process. With permission, you will read a short metaphor that teaches your subconscious how to heal.

Of course you can jump ahead, but, if there are any issues in your personality that are afraid and present barriers, then, without the information that you skipped, the healing process may not work. Make an agreement with yourself, that you will not learn the healing process until you have permission from all aspects on the treatment team. If you did jump ahead and, now, the healing process or communication with subconscious does not work, you can reread the web pages you skipped, and troubleshoot until the barrier is found and resolved.

Here is a list of ten segments written to teach Process Healing.

The formation of the personality
The advantages for healing
The treatment team
Removing barriers for wanting to heal
Accessing the subconscious
Assessing readiness for learning the healing process
Learning the healing process
Resolving barriers for healing
Obtaining automatic healing
Strategies for healing problems

After completing the following web pages, most people will have all they need to resolve barriers to their personal growth and the removal of self-limiting issues. A PH-Upgrade PDF file will be developed that will describe ways to handle more difficult and less common problems. Though interested persons may buy it, it is made available primarily for therapists. The following information will be developed for the PH-Upgrade PDF file for people who are interested in using and extending Process Healing to resolve more difficult treatment challenges.

Summary

The following series of ten web pages is intended to teach the readers a number of concepts useful for learning and using Process Healing. Because we all can have amnesic or dissociative aspects of our personality caused by prebirth, birthing or later medical or emotional traumas, Process Healing is taught in the following way. First, the etiology of the personality, that is, how it was formed, is presented to you to teach you about various functions of the brain and personality. Especially important is how amnesic and dissociative parts are formed. After describing why it is good to heal painful memories, the treatment team concept is described and all your aspects will be asked to join. All the treatment team members will want to heal, want to work together, want to join the main personality, and want to work on a consensual basis. This means that each aspect votes on treatment plans until a 100 percent “Yes” is obtained. All members will vote on a treatment plan for each member of the treatment team so each can safely heal and join the main personality. After they all join the main personality, they all participate in running the body with no conflicts.

You will be taught several ways to communicate with your subconscious. Then you will work to get all aspects of your personality to join the treatment team and to support having the subconscious learn the treatment process. Sometimes, if an issue has been identified, the healing process is blocked because various barriers can interfere. Resolutions for the barriers for healing will be given so that, once handled, the healing process can continue. Together, you and your subconscious can learn to do all of this just by your careful reading of the interventions. Also, two barriers that prevent the subconscious from doing automatic healing will be resolved. Additional information will be provided that will speed up the healing process.

This is basically cognitive-behavioral therapy approach using an education process and a waking-state hypnotic metaphor. It should present no stress on aspects of the personality since there are many ways to block the learning process or communication. If it is not appropriate to continue or if there is any problematic issue, I am sure the aspects or the subconscious can manage to maintain a healthy experience and warn you in a safe, non-disruptive way. If at any time you feel a strong negative emotion, then Process Healing may not appropriate for you without a supervising therapist. Precautions are given on the next web page.
