…is “co-counseling” because our Inner Spirit (or “Higher Self”) chooses healing, et al. resources to facilitate growth journeys through each lifetime. We make learning contracts with “counselors” and “counselees”, family members, spouses, friends, enemies, et al. Each of us creates our own lessons, karma and healing while growing through illusions of oppressor-victim, suffering-servant, savior-sinner co-dependency to Self-empowerment. As Jesus said, “Physician, heal yourself”.

We discover the “savior within” by accessing Inner tools. Brock facilitates Self-empowerment through understanding the creative power, blocks and karmic lessons a person grows through. This could include past lifetimes, spirit guides, psychosomatic insights, meditation, astrology, spiritual pathwork and referrals. Brock has specialized in healing career burnout and relationship changes among helping professionals.

Self-empowering therapy was popularized during the Human Potential and East-West counseling movement of the 1960s and 1970s with Fritz Perl’s Gestalt Therapy (Gestalt Therapy Verbatim), Virginia Satir’s family systems (Peoplemaking), Alan Watts’ Zen Buddhism (The Way of Zen), Eric Berne’s Transactional Analysis (Games People Play), Ida Rolf’s Rolfing , Wilhelm Reich’s bioenergetics (Character Armor), Arthur Janov‘s Primal Therapy, Re-birthing, Core Therapy, Al Pesso’s Psychomotor (Moving Psychotherapy) Elizabeth Kubler Ross (On Death and Dying) and Native Americans (Sun Bear, Medicine Wheel). Holistic counseling has mainstreamed into hospitals, universities, churches and Human Relations Departments.
