Events Psychology, Silvia Hartmann

Mind Body & Soul Book Review: Events Psychology - How to Understand Yourself and Other People by Dr Silvia Hartmann Paperback: £24.97 Published by DragonRising Publishing Author website: www.silviahartmann.com

Dr Silvia Hartmann is a researcher and innovative therapist who has extensive interest in modern psychology. She is at the forefront of the development of brand new therapeutic methods. Every major event, both good and bad, results in inner self talk when patterned beliefs are formed. Events Psychology is a simple, person centred technique to uncover past trauma that can be used by therapists, counsellors and healers. In this training manual, Dr Hartmann details her Events Psychology method. It provides a series of questions, to home in on past events to gently approach painful memories so that relaxation can be achieved. These key events are then used as stepping stones, to turn negative into positive, and bring resolution. The introduction of new healing events to counter-balance the negative can then be introduced.

Events Psychology, in its initial stages, is easy to conduct and can be used by anyone to understand their own motivations and those of others. The later stages of the method, which focus on the creation of a matrix, require greater understanding and depth. Other aspects of Dr Hartmann's work are The Genius Symbols, Project Sanctuary, EmoTrance and the Harmony Program. Dr Hartmann is originally from Germany and is an author and professional speaker and the Chair of The Association for Meridian & Energy Therapies. Her work focuses on energy psychology but she has written a novel under the name Nick Starfields. She is also involved with the 'Naked Writer Project' where online readers could see her novel, titled 'The Dragon Lords' in the process of being written and make suggestions.
