An Existential Therapy for Renewal and Change
The DTT process has been developed with the understanding that the knowledge shared is only the best guess or understanding that science and philosophy has at this moment in time. It is not cast-in-stone; it is only that which can either be understood or experienced at this moment in our evolution. It is not presented to you as truth which will not or cannot be changed ... it is presented as a snap-shot, at this moment in time, for the purpose of enlightenment and healing, with the clear understanding that we will learn tomorrow, as we build upon what we know today.
The DTT process is a tool for empowering individuals to rid themselves of negative or destructive behaviour, within weeks of fully participating in the process, not months or years. It does not involve hypnosis, although hypnosis as a tool can be used within the process if appropriate. Very often it is not necessary, as the process teaches participants to take control of their life without intervention from another person.
The process, based on Existential Person-Centred Therapy, focuses on the freedom of choice in shaping one’s own life. It teaches responsibility, self-determination including self awareness. DTT concentrates on the present, on the future. It helps clients to make appropriate choices in dealing with the challenges of life. Whereas other therapeutic protocols may keep people in therapy for many months if not years, the DTT process works within weeks. WHY … simply because it instructs participants how their body-mind partnership works, then empowers individuals to take control of their lives, by providing relevant techniques as a resource that really work.
The main controversial issue with this process relating to other therapeutic techniques, is that most other techniques take, as a given, that transference of emotions will occur between client and therapist. The DTT process does not encourage, nor does it tolerate, any transference of any emotion between client and therapist. In this process, the therapist acts as a guide, supporting the client.
I developed this process in 2004, since then I have had the privilege to work successfully with clients suffering from many issues including:
Addictions … including alcoholism, drugs, tobacco, food, sex, negative habits
Anxiety
Bereavement
Bullying (work place, school, family, friends)
Confidence
Depression (severe)
Emotional issues
Illness (including cancer eczema, psoriasis IBS, migraines)
Jealousy
Insecurities
Insomnia
Pain relief
Panic attacks
Phobias
Relationship issues … emotional problems
Stress
Weight issues … eating disorders
The age of my clientele has ranged from 7 years to 77 years. For those clients who have fully participated and engaged in the process, the change in behaviour has been significant within weeks of starting the programme.
