Answer: PSYCH-K is a unique and direct way to identify and change subconscious beliefs that perpetuate old habits of thinking and behaving that you would like to change. It is a simple process that helps you communicate with your subconscious mind so you can change beliefs that limit your self-esteem, relationships, job performance, and even your physical health! Popularly characterized as a spiritual process with psychological benefits, the word psych is often used as an abbreviation for psychology. More apt in this case, it is used as a variant spelling of the word psyche. The dictionary definition of psyche is mind, soul, or spirit. The overall goal of PSYCH-K is to help you free your mind from beliefs that limit your recognition of yourself as a divine being having a human experience.

Answer: Many people quite understandably imagine that the PSYCH-K Centre decides where to hold PSYCH-K Workshops and sends Instructors out to teach them. And that's not the way it works. In fact, each Certified Instructor works independently through a licensing agreement. This means that each Instructor decides for herself or himself when, and where, to teach classes. While the Centre may encourage Instructors to go to various areas in the world, it cannot direct an Instructor to teach in a specific city or country.

You can come back and check the Web site from time to time to see if a Workshop is coming to a place near you, or you can contact an Instructor to discuss sponsoring a Workshop.

Briefly, "sponsoring" means that you gather together a group of people who wish to learn PSYCH-K, find a suitable location, and engage a Certified PSYCH-K Instructor to come and teach. As the Sponsor you are entitled to a percentage of any profit that may accrue from the class. The specifics of such an arrangement are between you and the Instructor you partner with. You may choose any of 46 such Instructors worldwide.

Answer: We can certainly understand and empathize with the desire to be able to learn PSYCH-K from books or DVDs. However, the PSYCH-K processes are quite interactive and dynamic, which means that no book or DVD can adequately outline all the possibilities. Also, neither a book nor a DVD would allow for observation and coaching of your facilitation skills, which is a key learning opportunity with a Certified Instructor in a live workshop.

If you want to learn to ride a horse, you might read a lot and watch a lot of video, and eventually you're actually going to get on a horse. That's when you find out there's a lot more to it. That's when you want an experienced Instructor at your side.

We realize that we could save a lot of time, and make it more convenient for everybody by selling DVDs for people to learn PSYCH-K. Our originator, Rob Williams, would love it if PSYCH-K could be effectively taught by video. But it can't. So for the benefit of all those who want to learn it correctly, we hand pick and extensively train Certified Instructors to bring it to you.

Answer: PSYCH-K was originated in 1988 by Robert M. Williams, M.A. It was a response to the frustration that came with the realization that typical counseling techniques, which rely almost exclusively on "insight" and "motivation," seldom create real and lasting changes. Rob has spent nearly 20 years developing and improving PSYCH-K. His background in business and psychotherapy creates a results-oriented approach to personal change. PSYCH-K was inspired by a variety of processes, some contemporary and some ancient. It deals with the part of the mind called the subconscious, which is capable of creating dramatic and lasting changes quickly and easily.

Answer: PSYCH-K is a unique process evolving from years of split-brain research and hundreds of sessions with individuals and groups. It creates a receptive state of mind that dramatically reduces resistance to change in the subconscious. The subconscious mind can be accessed in a way similar to a personal computer. PSYCH-K works as a kind of "mental keyboard" — a user-friendly method of communicating with the subconscious mind that is simple, direct, and verifiable.

Answer: PSYCH-K differs from other modalities in a variety of ways. While all modalities have value, there are important differences that make a difference. These differences are addressed in Chapter 7 of PSYCH-K… The Missing Piece Peace In Your Life. To view the contents of Chapter 7, The Differences That Make a Difference.

Answer: A PSYCH-K Balance is a process designed to create balanced communication with both hemispheres of the cerebral cortex. This "whole-brain" state is ideal for reprogramming the subconscious mind with new self-enhancing beliefs that support your goals rather than defeat them!

Answer: Until 1997, Rob was the only person teaching PSYCH-K. Now there's a growing number of hand picked Certified Instructors personally trained by Rob Williams or Larry Valmore, Certifying Agent for The PSYCH-K Centre International. In short, you'll be hearing a lot more about PSYCH-K in the future!

Answer: Your subconscious beliefs establish the limits of what you can achieve. If your life feels like a car being driven with one foot on the accelerator and one foot on the brake, chances are you have a conflict between your conscious goals and your subconscious beliefs. This kind of conflict can show up in your relationships, job performance, self-esteem, athletics, weight loss, prosperity, even your physical health. If you are facing challenges in any of these areas, you should contact a Certified PSYCH-K Instructor for a schedule of workshops near you.
