Friday, August 6th, 2010INTRODUCTION FROM A SEVERELY ABUSED PATIENT’S PERSPECTIVE
By “Ken”

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009Jim, a young man with lifelong acrophobia, lost his fear of heights after recalling a series of past life episodes in which he had died by falling from cliffs and mountain precipices.

Past Lives and How They Affect Us Today
Friday, October 23rd, 2009The first thing that strikes us about the past life episodes relived in Karmic Therapy is how extremely traumatic they are. Apparently it takes severe emotional and physical scarring to leave a significant negative impression on another lifetime. Usually those patients who have suffered hurt in this lifetime will uncover much more extreme pain in […]
Childhood Trauma Reactivates Karmic Scripts
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009The events of childhood seem to reinforce key karmic scripts and lock them into place. Sometimes there is a key moment in childhood when an incident happens that anchors old karmic themes into a life script.

Chronic self-esteem problems and depression that is resistant to therapy frequently appear to be rooted in the prenatal period. The most common prenatal set-up for depression seems to be an unwanted pregnancy complicated by maternal loss and stress, producing maternal depression. An important turning point in Karmic Therapy comes with the recognition that the mother’s […]

WHY INTEGRATIVE PSYCHIATRY? HERE’S AN EXAMPLE OF THE BROAD PSYCHOSPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVE THAT AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH TO MENTAL HEALTH OFFERS
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008VARIETIES OF SPLITTING IN OUR SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCE

Bipolar Disorders
Saturday, August 11th, 2007Integrative Diagnosis and Treatment of Bipolar Spectrum Disorders
Bipolar disorders are unique diagnoses in several respects. Most of them went unrecognized as such when I was trained in psychiatry during the late 1960’s and 1970’s and many are still misdiagnosed even today.
