It’s been a central mission of my life to discover and then teach practical ways to help people understand and overcome problems with distressing voices & visions, paranoia, and confusion about alternate realities.
I’ve put a great deal of what I’ve discovered into 3 self-paced courses. And now is a great time to check out one or more of them, as I’m offering them for only $29 each to professionals (with CE credit) or free to non-professionals, just until 11/14/25.
Here’s an overview of what these courses are about – use the links to get a more detailed description, and to register.
The first course, CBT for Psychosis: An Individualized, Recovery Oriented Approach, focuses on basic strategies that can be used to relate to people with psychosis in a friendly, collaborative, and constructive way. These strategies are relatively simple, very humanistic, and their effectiveness has been validated by research. (Or free to non-professionals at this link. )
The second course, Trauma, Dissociation, and Psychosis: Approaches to Understanding and Recovery, explores how adverse experiences dramatically increase the risk for psychosis, and how helpers can integrate effectively treating trauma and related dissociation within treatment for psychosis. (Or a similar course is free to non-professionals at this link.)
The third course, Addressing Cultural and Spiritual Issues within Treatment for Psychosis, will open your mind to radically different ways of understanding how and why people go out of their usual minds, and how to work with people from various cultural and spiritual traditions and perspectives as they reorganize and experiment with approaches that might work for them. (Or, a similar course is free to non-professionals at this link.)
I’m hoping you do check out the detailed descriptions, and then consider signing up for whichever course appeals most to you!
Also, please consider sharing this link with others who might be interested. I hope you agree that we all benefit more people get trained in humanistic approaches to psychosis; then we can all better support each other in doing this tricky yet ultimately very rewarding work, and so we can help people reorient, recover, and shape a life that they find personally meaningful.
