This workshop is based on a lifetime of work and the most recent scientific research on brain physiology, biochemistry, cognitive theory, evolutionary theory, cultural anthropology, and psychological development.
There are seven steps to a state of openness that allows adult human beings to nourish each other as a family: completing what has been incomplete in your own life, particularly with your parents; forgiving your dysfunctional culture; gaining a new perspective on being a human being that transcends your culture; coming to a clear understanding of how the brain and mind work; learning to stop blocking creativity; getting good at envisioning possibilities; and integrating and applying what you have learned from outgrowing your parents and their culture.
Brad Blanton offers a blueprint for action that shows how we can have lives that work, relationships that are alive and passionate, and intimacy that rises above loneliness. Beware, this workshop could transform the way you live your life.
Brad Blanton is the author of Radical Honesty: How to Transform Your Life by Telling the Truth. The book jacket says “Warning: contains adult language and adult ideas.” So does Dr. Blanton, who calls himself “a well-educated, foul-mouthed, joke-telling, golf-playing, Gestalt therapist ego-maniac.” Trained in Gestalt by Fritz Perls, Jim Simkin, and Robert Hall and in hypnosis by Milton Erikson, he’s been a clinical psychologist for 30 years. He also wrote Practicing Radical Honesty and Radical Parenting (co-authored with Neale Donald Walsch).
