Psychotherapeutic Treatment

Golotropnaya therapy - one of the most interesting and well-known strategies for therapy of fear, depression, psychosomatic illness and strategies for personal growth. In order to achieve a therapeutic effect golotropnaya therapy uses altered states of consciousness induced through controlled breathing, special music, the specific methods of working with the body and drawing mandalas (random, spontaneous drawings) in the final part of the session. Therefore golotropnuyu therapy referred to as psychedelic psychotherapy.

The method was developed by the legendary therapists Stanislav and Christina Grof, as a result of the three decades of studying the therapeutic possibilities of altered states of consciousness induced by the use of therapeutic tools of psychedelic (LSD-25)  and non pharmacological means to influence consciousness. The literal translation of the term "golotropnaya therapy" in the interpretation of the authors - therapy aimed at restoring integrity.

Golotropnaya therapy - an important and effective alternative to traditional deep (analytical) treatment, which allows to reduce the time and money on psychotherapy, to avoid taking psychotropic drugs or to reduce it.

Therapeutic significance to achieve an altered state of consciousness is the experience of a specific set of phenomena:
1) biographical material (experienced);
2) perinatal matrices (fetal, birth and postpartum emotions and states);
3) So-called transpersonal consciousness, reflecting not only and not so much biographical causes of the problems of the patient as a special transcendental connection between man and the world around them, time and space. The experience of this relationship contributes to the disclosure of internal resources, resolution of internal contradictions and leads to the attainment of inner integrity and freedom.

As a result, unable to reach the deep layers of the psyche, not engaging in a rational consideration of the problem and without using any specific method of changing the mental situation of a plan worked out in advance. The experience of the holistic experience of altered states of consciousness, usually leads to a change in the dynamic equilibrium of initial symptoms, transformable into a stream of unusual experiences and disappearing in the process.

All participants in comfortable clothes (usually sports), located on the floor in a cozy room, on soft mattresses. Begins a session with a brief relaxation and meditation. Then the patient is concentrated on your breathing without changing its parameters. Then invited to gradually increase the frequency of breathing, making it deeper and more frequent.

At the final stage, participants exchanged experiences experiences, draw mandalas. It is assumed that the analysis of mandalas promotes better integration of experiences.

How it works.
In addition to the traditional notion of psychoanalysis on the unconscious part of psyche and prisoners there biographical memoirs, the hypothesis of the existence of still deeper areas of the unconscious.

Thus, the region stands perinatal psyche, which focused experiences and images of death and birth, and the transpersonal sphere, a correspondence with a wide range of experiences, traditionally regarded as religious, spiritual, occult, and mystical.

The logic of the organization (architectonics) involves mental unconscious content flaky areas, separated by sensory barriers to access to the deeper area. Increased sensory channels due to the fact that the methods of providing access to the unconscious, especially the work reinforce the sense organs.

As a result, the unconscious also activates the sensory organs. Sensory barrier manifests itself in nespetsificheskihchuvstvennyh experiences, for example, a person sees the primary colors and geometric patterns, he hears different sounds, he having tactile sensations in various parts of the body, he can smell and taste. All these emotions are abstract, have no symbolic meaning and minimis.

Sensory barriers separate the ordinary consciousness of the biographical unconscious level and share with each perinatal region and a more profound and difficult nature of consciousness. Perinatal the unconscious is a region of the individual unconscious, which condense individual psychological trauma, incomplete gestalt here is biography man.

The nature of the processes occurring in this relatively shallow level of the unconscious sphere, similar to those phenomena that Freud described, but there are some differences. Biographical material may not be reproduced only in memory and reconstructed, but also to experience again. And it is, and about emotional experiences and bodily sensations, perceptions.

The difference is the fact that the memory and other elements of biography does not appear in isolation, but in general, and form the so-called "systems of condensed experience, most of which are related to the birth and hence are produced in the deeper area - in the perinatal field unconscious.

During session’s golotropnoy therapy when moving in perinatal region of the unconscious, the intensity of feelings increased so that participant’s treatments are perceived as the process of dying. A man feels as if the border-crosser of individual suffering and experiencing pain the whole group, mankind, and even all living things.

Experiences of this level are usually accompanied by bright physiological manifestations, as rapid pulse, palpitations, nausea and fluctuations in body temperature, tremors, etc.

This condition is regarded as a clash of death, after which there is a change of status and experience already characterize the process of birth. It is very important as birth injury more than the events in the biography is responsible for the formation of the problem, and its elaboration during the session golotropnoy therapy creates the preconditions for the full treatment.

The idea of therapeutic intervention based on the work of Jung, who pointed out that the psyche has a powerful self-healing potential.
