The offering in this book is not solely for addicts, ex-addicts, or those who identify themselves as survivors of childhood trauma. It demonstrates a significant healing approach for every person seeking a richer life.
Authentic Process Therapy (APT) is a significant healing approach for all human beings who want to enrich their lives. It is not just for addicts, ex-addicts, and those who identify themselves as adult survivors of a traumatic childhood. While the research comes from the reclaiming of health, happiness, and fulfillment for the most broken of us, the application of these healing strategies is beneficial to every person seeking a richer life. Those who have experienced the depths of despair have used these healing techniques, emerging from their personal process with profoundly illuminating insights for all of us. APT is a multi-staged system for recovering your emotional, psychological, cultural, spiritual and sexual wholeness through community healing. The goal (also, the result, I trust) of your commitment to the process is complete recovery, or holism as described in Chapter One.
What makes Authentic Process Therapy bold, new and distinct from other modes of healing? I feel that there are several important factors:
* It was developed out of the experience of those being healed, rather then from an academic or medical perspective.
* It incorporates from many disciplines and cultures that which has consistently demonstrated the ability to effect transformational change.
* It incorporates the "community healing approach" used in addictions recovery (Twelve-Step, Therapeutic Communities, etc.) but shifts the focus to breaking down the barriers to feeling whole and complete experienced by all people.
* It merges clinical, scientific, and psychotherapeutic discoveries and places them within the spiritual community context.
* The healing process is clearly defined from the onset. This awareness of the "big picture" of one's journey brings comfort and grace to the healing. However, it allows unlimited flexibility providing for individual adaptation.
* The personal "powers" and tools required for the journey are described in simple terms.
* The process is pragmatic because anyone who dedicates themselves to the journey will experience concrete results with each engagement.
The benefits of committing one's self to the process are glimpsed before the process has begun. The living map presented in this book invites you to move towards concreteness and adequacy, towards facts, towards action and towards personal power. It invites the reader to make good sense out of what has previously been an ambiguous process. For example, this book presents a list of universally "shared desires"- what most people really want from therapy - then provides tools and insights for fulfilling those desires, culminating in complete recovery.
