Course #190: Whole-Hearted Healing™ for Addictions
Specialized Professional Training
Revision 1.1, November 30, 2008
This four or five day professional training is for
therapists or addiction counselors who want to use
techniques that eliminate alcohol, cocaine, crack cocaine,
and opiate addiction cravings in the majority of their
clients. This is a radically new way of working with
addictions, and uses state-of-the-art breakthroughs in
understanding and eliminating the various causes of
addictions. For detailed descriptions of the process and
client testimonials to it, see our Clinical Project for
Addiction webpage.
This approach is very efficient: it takes about 4 to 6
hours to eliminate the symptoms of addiction craving in
over 80% of the clients.
Who
is this training designed for?
This class is designed for therapy professionals who are
already working in, or plan on working in, the field of
addictions. There is support and mentoring after the class,
to help the therapist use the techniques effectively and
efficiently. In addition, there is advanced therapist
backup from our clinics for therapists who are having
problems meeting their healing goals.
Prerequisites
Currently, this class is only available to Institute
Certified therapists (or, with instructor permission,
therapists who are working on their certification). It is
preferable for you to have taken the WHH training far
enough in advance to have practiced and become proficient
in the trauma healing techniques taught there.
Licensing
Agreements
Therapists who have become certified by the Institute have
already signed a licensing
agreement for the use
of our techniques. This exists for several reasons: we
want to maintain high levels of excellence in our
graduates; the material in this class is proprietary;
and for safety reasons. This agreement has several
important provisions;
1) You agree to charge clients ("pay for results") only if
you have results from your interventions (if possible in
your employment circumstances).
2) You agree to keep updated as the techniques improve.
3) You agree not to teach the material you learn. This is
because of safety issues with the very powerful processes
being used, and because of intellectual property rights
issues.
4) To maintain our ethical standards, you agree to hand out
brochures explaining the nature of your work to clients.
5) You agree to a code of ethical conduct, found on this
website (www.peakstates.com/ethics.html).

Therapist
Guideline for 'Pay for Results' for
Addictions
The Institute sets a certain minimum standard for the 'pay
for results' agreement that the therapist and client make
together, as defined below. This is a minimum - the
therapist and client can also make additional agreements
and do more healing around other client addiction issues.
"Treated cravings are eliminated by the end of the first
session and the result will last for a minimum of 30 days.
‘Pay for results’ is dependant upon the client
returning for follow-up appointments at 2 weeks and thirty
days after the initial treatment, as well as the client
following and documenting all treatment plan stipulations.
The following conditions also apply to the ‘pay for
results’ agreement:
1. Only applies to the treated cravings- lapses and
relapses not covered.
2. Only applies to cash clients (if used in an institute
setting, the therapist does not call it an ISPS technique,
since its use violates our 'pay for results' standards.
Instead, the therapist goes 'low profile' with the work.
However, it is far preferable to keep this stuff out of
those settings because of this problem.)
3. Only applies to the individual session that the
technique was applied.
4. Only applies to the specific craving treated.
5. Therapists licensed in our techniques agree to the 'pay
for results' condition around cravinds regardless of the
techniques used. Obviously, this means that they use WHH
techniques or they are not likely to be successful.
6. The client must attend follow-up sessions, after the
initial treatment, at two weeks and thirty days intervals
for ‘pay for result’ to be in effect.
7. Clients who miss or cancel scheduled follow-up
appointments, or drop out of treatment for any reason
during the treatment period, forfeit any benefit provided
by the ‘pay for results’ agreement.
8. Any third party contracts supersede ‘pay for
results’- (examples of but not limited to: private
practices that have established contacts with third
parties, insurance companies, state funding). We do not
recommend these situations because of the moral problems
involved. If settings like this are used, the ISPS branding
is not stated, nor can other branding be put in place as a
substitute.
9. ‘Pay for results’ applies to all clients,
regardless of the circumstances. However, on a practical
basis, results will be poor if the payee is a family member
or other entity that may be financially responsible for the
clients’ account. At this point, the therapist must
decide if they want to take on those clients, given the
probability of failure increases. This can be compensated
for to some degree by higher prices if the therapist
chooses to proceed.
10. The client must thoroughly document all treatment plan
stipulations and aftercare recommendations for ‘pay
for results’ to apply. There is a research form for
every client."
