• This invited address concentrates on the three core connections that allow clients to do this: (1) Positive intention and goals (What do you most want to create in your life?); (2) Somatic Centering (Where do you feel the deepest resonance in your body?); and (3) Field Resources (What can most deeply support your path of change?).
• I will describe how these connections are absent in a repetitive problem and, more importantly, how their presence allows positive changes in difficult areas—e.g., a past trauma, a present difficulty, or a future possibility.
• Clinical examples and technique description will illustrate how such positive transformational states can be practically developed.
• Describe three techniques for connecting a client to a positive, skill-based state of being.
