Overview

Can People Actually Change?In almost every therapist lies an inherent flaw. This flaw prevents them from helping clients to make lasting changes. Temporary changes; the usual, will-powered, behavioral and cognitive kind? They can get clients to do those. But permanent changes, the kind which alter the client's very nature? Not so much. The flaw? To get licensed, they must learn to imitate what the great therapists did. Ironically, those great therapists were great because they didn't do this. Rather, what made them great was that they were being themselves. And being themselves IS what gave them the power to change lives. In this book, Steven Paglierani draws on his three decades of experience to teach therapists to be themselves, with practical suggestions, poignant stories, and heart-felt advice on everything therapists do. Practice management and better self-care to cutting-edge therapies based on his school of therapy, The Emergence Therapies. Do you want to learn to actually change lives, while falling in love what you do? If you're willing to do the work, then this book will show you how.

Author Information

"Steven Paglierani is an author, educator, psychotherapist, and film maker whose writings describe the world through the lens of the autism spectrum. As a licensed therapist, he teaches others-especially those who are outside the norm and find it hard to fit in-to stop imitating normal and to be themselves. He has authored the first blamelessly ""natural"" personality theory, a theory where everything derives from a single fractal pattern. He's also built and raced Shelby Mustangs, been a singer/song writer mentioned in Rolling Stone, and designed his best friend's home as a wedding gift. Maria Kirsch is a recently licensed psychotherapist (an LMHC) and a formal student of Emergence Therapy for the last five years. She is an Emergence Practitioner (Level 4), an editor, and the previous owner of a yoga and meditation center. Earlier in life, she spent years traveling the world, where she studied language and culture in Spain, and fund-raised to end sex trafficking and slavery of young children in South India. She is continually drawn to learn all she can about the nature of suffering, so she can help teach others to emerge from their own. Sam Snider is currently in his final semester of an LMHC graduate program, right on the heels of a bachelors in Applied Behavioral Analysis. He has spent his life absorbed in a number of different areas. These include philosophy, psychology, sexuality, shamanism, religion, chess, poker, movies, fiction, poetry, and sports. The most important thing in his life is the people in it, and his favorite thing in the world is to sit with someone and talk."
