• The model identifies three types of mind—Somatic, Cognitive, and Field—and how each mind can be operating at a Primitive, Ego, or Generative Level.

• We will see how a problem degrades a person’s consciousness level so that change is impossible, and how that low-level state can be improved to a Generative level, so that the problematic experience either spontaneously changes or is more easily engaged.

• Numerous practical techniques and clinical examples will be offered.

• Educational Objectives: List three techniques for developing higher states of consciousness in a psychotherapy session.
