In my recently published book, Do I Hafta Grow UP? I present a model for understanding where most of the problems we have as adults come from, with the idea that by defining the problem, we have identified the solution. It derives from training in intensive therapies during the 1970s using developmental psychology techniques that I now have translated into quick, painless, methods within Energy Psychology. So what used to take years of dedicated treatment can now be more thoroughly completed in weeks to months.

Within this model we recover missing elements from our first 5 years so that we can be secure, confident, independent, powerful, having effective boundaries and encounter the world from the position of knowing who we are as unique individuals with specific purpose in coming here to planet Earth to have a human experience. Along the way, fear and anger, insecurities, codependency, and powerlessness are removed from our experience of who we are. No longer do we need experts, officials, or boss-types to tell us where to go, what to do, or how to have better, more productive lives.

In my mind, doing this is what we knew had to be done when we were wee tykes looking up at our parents and older peers, thinking that when we were grown up, we could go out and have the kind of life we had in mind when we entered the Earth plane with punched ticket in hand. If you feel some resonance with what I'm saying, please join me for discussion.
