ELEMENTS OF HEALING
THROUGH
PSYCHOTHERAPY
Hi and Welcome,
Im Dr. Diane Poole Heller and I want to thank
you for registering for this special report.
First I should say that its not so much that we are building
anything totally new but rather we are synthesizing and
integrating new knowledge and including many valuable insights
from the past. We are incorporating into psychotherapy new
ideas from fields such as physiology, neuroscience, trauma
resolution, and attachment theory. We are discovering the value
of developing somatic treatment strategies such as Somatic
Experiencing, Sensory Motor Processing, Dynamic Attachment
Re-Patterning experience (DARe), and Hakomi to honor the
wisdom of the body as well as integrating working with the
relational field of what happens between us.
It is so exciting to find new and
effective ways to incorporate
this recent and continual
explosion of research and
integrated therapy models into
individual, family, and couples
counseling. We are now even

We are also finding that the paradigms that we once held are
transforming. For example, it used to be common to JUST focus
on wounds when working with clients. The basic idea was that if
you were not in pain, then you were not in therapy. Literally, no
pain, no gain. Even when I studied Rogerian Therapy at UNC with
the its wonderful teaching of unconditional positive regard, it was
focused on drilling deep into emotional pain in order to promote
healing. Resourcing someone or helping to regulate their
overloaded nervous system was not a focus back then as was
seen as going off track.

If you are a therapist, you probably know a lot about all of these
areas, but let me share with you a short overview of each area of
healing that is especially significant:
stirring us up and
keeping us on guard. D
r. Peter Levine
provided groundbreaking
work with resolving trauma. He has developed effective
techniques to thaw the freeze response, to evoke and complete
our self-protective fight and flight responses. This releases bound
arousal that was initiated by threat, and which may have been
perpetuating stress, shame, or fear-related symptoms.
3. Neuroscience
Neuroscience provides a map of how the brain, ANS (Autonomic
Nervous System), and body work together to process and
integrate our experiences. We can use the current research that is
available in a way that supports its clinical application
how can
we use it intelligently when we are sitting in front of a client, or
our partner or child?
Lets look at just one simple example related to such a huge topic
that we will certainly explore further in our upcoming
Psychotherapy 2.0 Summit.

4. Attachment
Attachment theory has been around since John Bowlby put forth
the understanding that we are biologically designed for Secure
Attachment. It is inherent in our human design or our design to
be more fully human.
