TWO WAYS TO LEARN

Learn for yourself or train professionally

PERSONAL LEARNING

Understand yourself—and help the people around you

Recognize what is happening beneath your own reactions and relationships. Learn to respond to conflict and pain in ways that help another person grow, whether or not you work as a practitioner.

PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

Learn to work with clients

Therapists and coaches learn to identify Drives, locate a client’s stage of development, and use developmental Tracks in practice. Training moves in four steps: the nature of growth, What Drives Us, Engaging the Drives in Developmental Tracks, and applied training for certification.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Work with a person’s nature, not against it

Work with a person’s nature, not against it

Rather than trying to fix, control, or rescue, you will learn to catalyze a person’s nature and promote the forces of growth.

See the need beneath the reaction

In conflict, tension, or pain, we react because we are needing something. When a partner, coworker, or child snaps at us, it’s because they aren’t getting what they want. Learn to see exactly which need it is, the Drive underneath, and where the person is in their growth.

Read compulsions as unfinished growth

Compulsions, addictions, reactions we regret, and emotional struggles point to a need that hasn’t been met, and to the psychological and spiritual growth it’s pulling toward.

Use the techniques of each Track

Learn the specific techniques for each Track, and when each one fits.

Learn through experience first

In live weekend Immersions, you feel and witness the techniques in action, then deepen your understanding through guided theory. Experience comes first, so the learning settles deeply and stays with you.

HOW IT IS TAUGHT

Experience first, then understanding

Experience first, then understanding

Learning techniques that catalyze a person’s nature is delicate. It requires a setting where participants can safely observe natural reactions, urges, and Drives as they unfold. Our weekend Immersions are always taught live, with immediate discussion of subtle techniques and their effects.

Each one alternates between direct experience and knowledge: first you feel and witness the techniques in action, then you deepen your understanding through guided theory. Trainees consistently describe them as profoundly transformative, both for the power of the methods and for the personal insight they gain.

Courses also include short lessons and live sessions, built on psychology and neuropsychology. Professional training adds feedback, case discussions, and supervised client work.
