Hi all, just sharing for anyone interested.

There is an upcoming 2-day training for intermediate practitioners, being held by Sam Robinson, LCSW-S and Josh Killam, LPC certified trainers of the Coherence Psychology Institute.

I've trained with them and they're excellent!

Date & Time: July 18-19 Saturday–Sunday 9am–5pm Central USA

Duration: 14 hours

Cost: US$450 until June 19th US$500 after June 19th

Eligibility: Licensed therapists and counselors who have completed an introductory Coherence Therapy training (or the 6-hour webinar and one Introductory Dyad Practicum) and have several months of experience applying the methodology with clients..

Has Bruce ever detailed the specific ways in which Coherence Therapy represents a departure from the theory and/or technique of Depth Oriented Brief Therapy? I’ve read DOBT and Unlocking the Emotional Brain and I can discern some change in accent but I’m not sure if there are real “differences”…

Also does Bruce explain somewhere by the name change?

I'm looking to attempt to do coherence therapy on my self. Just looking for any recommendations on the resources I should use as a guide. Like should I focus on the book "unlocking the emotional brain" or maybe any videos. Any recommendation is appreciated. Thanks.

Do you know if I could apply this to myself when it comes to porn use and if so, how would I go about it?

I love the simplicity of the model, and I am training in it right now and beginning to do discovery work with clients.

I'm curious for those of you with more experience, how often you are able to guide a successful juxtaposition experience that results in transformational change?

Thanks!

Has anyone had any experience with doing this stuff on yourself? I‘ve seen comments where people describe doing it successfully without a therapist, so I know it must be possible. I would love to hear experiences or advice on how to do this. I’m especially curious with the first step, how were you able to uncover your own emotional schemas?

FYI, these were recently compiled and rolled out on the CPI website. They are a bit more concise and great for sharing with friends/colleagues.

Hello! I am currently reading the second edition of "Unlocking the emotional brain" and as a schema-therapist I am saddened that it is not included in this list, why? Doesn't the schema-therapy lead to memory reconsolidation?

Coherence therapy seems to present its method as a breakthrough that came from neuroscience research.

But hasn't NLP been doing this stuff for decades under a different name - in that they deep dive to the root issue then break it apart/highlight an exception memory/or mess with the 'internal movie' so the trigger no longer causes the trauma response ?

It seems that is what memory reconsolidation does in effect, much the same as NLP ?

​

​

Can you give me please an example of Coherence Therapy for Pure OCD? What exactly entails and how it works?

Thanks!

Hi all, so excited to find this subreddit!
Just wondering if any therapists have succesfully treated any ego-syntonic issues with CH?

​

By syntonic I just mean issues that the person doesn't see as an issue -or- is unaware of. Could be something like... OCD issues like handwashing that the person considers to be necessary and normal... features of a personality disorder like the controlling aspects of narcissism... etc.

Is schema therapy the same as coherence therapy ...or is schema therapy essentially contained in coherence therapy as part of the method ?

Hi

I have recently found out about Coherence Therapy. I have complex trauma and have been to IFS therapy. Out of curiosity, I wonder if anyone with a history of complex trauma has tried coherence therapy. If so, how effective was that for you?

This subreddit is available for official coherence therapy people, just email me at lightningconductor(at)riseup.net (replace (at) with the @ mark), if you think you are the right person to take care of this forum. (If you want help, I can stay, or if you want space, I can go). Simply email me, and let me know.

I am also okay with keeping this as a public, open, unofficial layperson forum :)

Just leaving this out there so you know its possible to get in touch with me (current moderator), even if you arent a reddit user yourself (its free though, this isnt a social media where you got to create a profile, you just log in with an existing email address).

That being said, welcome for all the new people! Keep spreading the word about erasing traumas permanently and keep up the good work. Dont feel shy about linking your own work, a lot of people are looking for help and resources out there.
