We all have two mind parts, conscious and unconscious. The first part we know well, our conscious mind. This is where we spend our time, understanding, making decisions and learning about the world. Most of us assume this is the only part. However, when we do things we know we do not want to do, cannot change patterns and behaviors that we know we want to change, or when we feel extremely frustrated, confused and powerless, we are experiencing artifacts from our childhood assumptions buried deep in our unconscious mind.
Your unconscious mind is full of rules that operate like COMMANDMENTS. You formed these rules in early childhood, using your toddler-level thinking skills and you stored them in your unconscious mind where they are used NOW, without your knowledge, as if they are absolute truths. If these toddler 'laws' are violated, or even threatened, you experience intense anxiety, fear and guilt. You have no idea where this anxiety comes from because you cannot 'see' the rules hidden away from the conscious part of your mind. Your life is being controlled by your toddler perceptions of the world!
The Old Way
The current method used to uncover the unconscious began with Sigmund Freud. It is the long, expensive and unpredictable process of psychoanalysis or psychotherapy. That process requires a large investment of time and money yet the results vary drastically by individual. For some people it works wonders, for others it is not very successful. The monetary expense puts it out of reach for many people. The time required puts it out of reach for many others. Still others are not willing to risk the time and money without knowing it will help them. In short, we really need something more accessible, effective and efficient to bring our unconscious toddler 'rules' to our conscious awareness, where we can make adult changes.
The New Way
Now, there is another choice! Through my twenty years of intense study and clinical practice, I have developed a very different, faster and more effective tool to 'see' into the unconscious mind, a model called THE CLARITY KEY©. Using this model, you can derive the unconscious 'rules' governing your expectations, emotions, relationships, patterns and even your critical inner voice, simply by identifying several aspects of what is happening in current situations and putting them in the model. This model is a simple tool built on the predictable ways in which unconscious 'rules' govern our lives. The Clarity Key provides an easy to learn framework to analyze your own life situations quickly and easily.
Once you learn to use the model, you can use it on your own, eliminating the need for lengthy, expensive therapy. Even more importantly, you can tell if the model is working for you immediately. When your conclusions using this model are correct, you KNOW the truth of the results because it explains your experiences in a whole new light. This is usually experienced as pieces of a puzzle suddenly falling into place, making sense of long standing patterns from a completely new perspective. It is an exciting 'ah ha' moment which will continue to create changes in your understanding of your life indefinitely, with no further effort on your part!
The good news is that once the unconscious rules are exposed, they become conscious so that you can use your adult experience to make rational changes in your life. The simple 'exposure' of the unconscious rules causes the feelings and behaviors to change. Just knowing the rules are there will begin to change everything, even though nothing outside of you has actually changed at all. This is the ultimate empowerment because you finally and fully realize you are no longer waiting for anyone else to change before you can change.
With the understanding you will gain using this model you will realize that you are the author of your life but some of the critical rules have been hidden from you. Once you uncover those rules, you will no longer blame anyone else, because you will understand exactly how and why your life situations had to be the way they were. You will begin to have real compassion for yourself and others. You will truly begin to understand that you are not the source of problems in anyone else's life, just as they are not the real source of your problems.
CLARITY
The course, Using THE CLARITY KEY©, is presented in a group format for important therapeutic reasons. Without the universal experience from other members of a group, the healing is not as powerful, or as complete. In addition, the group format is far more cost effective than individual therapy. Normally, one full hour of individual therapy costs $200. Using the group format the cost for the entire course is $200. This class is presented 1½ hours each week for 4 consecutive weeks. Class size is strictly limited to preserve individual participation.
Years of monitoring students' experiences from this class makes me so confident about it that I guarantee it. If you do not believe it has been worth the money, I will refund it to you.
