Advancing The Cutting Edge of Recovery Science - Biofield Therapy

I have been invited to present at the Utah Fall Conference on Substance Abuse for addiction professionals Oct. 23rd in St. George. Just put the finishing touches on the presentation.

Here's an A.I. summary.

"This document discusses the integration of biofield therapy and quantum science into psychological treatment, emphasizing the role of consciousness in recovery from addiction and mental health issues.

Understanding Biofield Therapy and Neuroplasticity

This presentation explores the intersection of quantum physics, consciousness, and therapeutic practices to enhance recovery in mental health and addiction treatment. - The journey begins with an exploration of the nature of reality and consciousness. - Advances in technology have allowed for a deeper understanding of the universe and ourselves. - Insights from quantum physics can be applied to clinical practices, particularly in psychology. - The presentation emphasizes the importance of experiential interventions in therapy.

The Role of Spirituality in Recovery

This section discusses the significance of spiritual transformation in overcoming addiction and mental health issues. - Jordan Peterson highlights that spiritual transformation is a reliable treatment for alcoholism. - Observations from Alcoholics Anonymous suggest that spiritual individuals maintain long-term recovery more effectively. - The placebo effect is considered a potential mechanism for harnessing spirituality in treatment. - The speaker's clinical experience supports the idea that understanding spirituality can enhance recovery outcomes.

The Five Levels of Addiction Pathology

This topic outlines the layers of addiction and mental health issues, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive understanding of a patient's background. - Level 5: Addiction as a coping mechanism for mental health issues. - Level 4: Mental health issues such as anxiety and depression stemming from family dysfunction. - Level 3: Dysfunctional family dynamics and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). - Level 2: The authentic self of the individual, often repressed in childhood. - Level 1: The spiritual self, representing consciousness and the true essence of the individual.

The Dispenza Change Model

This section introduces Joe Dispenza's model for facilitating personal change and recovery. - The model aligns with Prochaska & DiClemente’s 5 Stages of Change: Precontemplation, Contemplation, Preparation, Action, and Maintenance. - Clients often arrive with repetitive thoughts and experiences that hinder change. - New information and experiences can lead to new thoughts, choices, and behaviors. - The maintenance phase reinforces positive changes and establishes a new status quo.

Quantum Mechanics and Consciousness

This topic delves into the relationship between quantum mechanics and the concept of consciousness. - Quantum Field Theory suggests that we are not merely victims of our circumstances but creators of our reality. - Understanding quantum physics can help patients overcome victim mentality and blame. - The nature of atoms and subatomic particles reveals that we are primarily composed of "empty" space. - Consciousness is defined as immaterial energy with intent that impacts material reality.

The Double-Slit Experiment and Consciousness

This section explains the implications of the Double-Slit Experiment in understanding consciousness and reality. - The experiment demonstrates that observation collapses the wave function, turning possibilities into material reality. - Consciousness plays a crucial role in defining the state of unobserved systems. - The relationship between the observer and the observed is fundamental to understanding reality.

Implications of the Quantum Model

This topic discusses the broader implications of adopting a quantum perspective in therapy and personal growth. - The universe is indifferent and responds to our aspirations, emphasizing the importance of intention. - All conscious beings are interconnected through the unified field system. - Individuals can author their own realities by selecting from infinite possibilities. - Living authentically in the present enhances the likelihood of achieving desired outcomes.

Conclusion and Practical Applications

This section summarizes the practical applications of the concepts discussed in the presentation. - The information presented can be applied in clinical settings to facilitate patient recovery. - The speaker offers resources, including a book and workshops, to further explore these concepts. - Understanding and applying these principles can lead to significant personal and professional growth."
