Profound Change in Psychotherapy: Using Coherence Therapy to Reliably Create Deep Breakthroughs

In this introductory workshop, you will see session videos showing the steps of Coherence Therapy’s process, hear the underlying principles explained in clear terms, watch a live demonstration session with a volunteer and finally practise this methodology yourself with the help of a step-by-step handout. You will also receive a briefing on the new neuroscience of the unlocking of implicit memory – findings that closely corroborate the methodology of Coherence Therapy and suggest why it can yield profound change reliably.
