  • "Boy in Closet" formed after this client went through a painful divorce, causing him to feel scared and alone. With some help, though, he came out of the closet and transformed into "Mr. Sunshine"!
  • Critical, jaded, angry "Cynical Girl" transformed into trusting, free "Flowing Girl"!
  • A judgmental, harsh, angry "God" - not unlike this client's father - transformed into a loving, accepting, golden, guiding light...
  • "Miss Worthless" discovered her own love within and became "Divine Value".
  • "Frustrated One", who was causing this client to anxiously over-think everything, stopped trying to nail down absolute answers and relaxed into accepting the ambiguity and inconstancy of what-is...
  • The defensive, angry, reactive "Beyond Boundaries" dropped her weapons and morphed into a loving, protective force field around this client...
  • Once heard and understood, angry Maggie stopped screaming and crying and let her true colors shine: becoming funky, creative "Spunky Spice" who continues to inspire this client's creativity!
  • Rageful "Geldor" ceased to be angry and instead transformed into a calm, thoughtful, helpful Dr. Oleg for this male client.
  • At first, "Fear Monster" was too terrified to show his face, but eventually he allowed himself to be seen, and, by the end, he was all hearts and smiles!
  • A mess of anxious scribbles became free-floating, giggly, happy hearts! This client was finally open to love and soon after met a man with whom she is now in a happy, healthy, loving relationship.
  • Beginning without faces, this critical, relentless "Panel of Judges" gained features as the session progressed. By the end, they folded up their chairs and disappeared, one by one!
  • "Gangrene Brain" was literally eating itself to death and causing this client to suffer from torturous over-thinking. It transformed into a calm, loving "Heart-Felt Mind" and finally a golden light!
  • This sweet "Little Girl" was extremely upset at being scolded and criticized by "Mean Mommy". In the end, both felt more at peace and held one another in a loving embrace...
  • "Little Susie" always needed to be in control, causing this client to constantly struggle. She couldn't even say the word "effortlessly". After the Process, she said "effortlessly" 5 times in a row!
  • "Compulsion Grinch" had a lot of sadness and anger and frequently lashed out at others. Through the Process, he calmed down into "Baby Grinch" and finally compassionate "Buddha Grinch".
  • "Little" felt very small, invisible, and neglected. However, once she expressed herself and learned that she needn't carry the pain anymore, she felt so much better!
  • "Bootsy" was very angry and terrified about the changes going on in her life - using her boots to put on the brakes. Once she let go of all of that fear and effort, she finally felt free!
