SYNTHESIS

Kelly's Quest

The methods of depth psychology, NLP, hypnotherapy, conflict resolution, values, healing, spirituality, and conceptual blending can each stand on their own as proven, effective ways for helping my clients. What I do my best to do though, is to draw from these sets of methods to design a customized approach to each person for helping them solve their problems and achieve their goals.

One of the most important principles for this synthesis is to realize that the person's worldview that created their current problems cannot solve those problems—rather, an enhanced worldview is needed. And to help a person enhance their worldview, it is best to create a customized approach from a variety of methods to suit the person's uniqueness.

With this principle as a guide, I use all the methods I know—whether I learned it 30 years ago, or just this week—to help my clients harness their inner capacities to achieve healthy development as a person.

Here is a diagram that describes the concept of synthesis from a blending of the other methods I use:
