Attitudinal Healing is a widely recognised, award-winning replicable model of psychology that has been used successfully for five decades both locally, and in over sixty countries on six continents. It has provided trainings, workshops and support to hundreds of thousands of adults, adolescents and children facing life-threatening illnesses, conflict, challenges and change, and provides a practical skill set for those seeking more joy and fulfilment in daily life.
At the heart of Attitudinal Healing is the belief in the extraordinary ability of ordinary people to be of help to one another, and the idea that we have the power to choose our attitude in any given moment, regardless of the circumstances.
“It’s not the situation that’s causing your stress. It’s your thoughts, and you can change that right here and now. You can choose to be peaceful right here and now. Peace is a choice, and it has nothing to do with what other people do or think”
Jerry Jampolsky
Attitudinal Healing is based on the belief that it is not people or experiences outside of ourselves that cause us to be upset. Rather, it is our thoughts, attitudes and judgments about them that cause us distress.. It is an approach and philosophy based on universal principals. It is neither religious nor dogmatic, and it does not conflict with any spiritual or religious orientation.
Attitudinal Healing is highly regarded by the academic and professional community worldwide as an effective therapeutic approach for individuals, groups and organisations. In 2005 , founder Dr. Gerald Jampolsky was awarded the prestigious American Medical Association’s “Excellence in Medicine – Pride in the Profession” Award for Attitudinal Healing’s groundbreaking contribution to the field of mental health.
The Western Australian Centre for Attitudinal Healing is one of 130 autonomous centres worldwide, including centres in Russia, India, Japan, New Zealand, England, the Netherlands, Ghana West Africa, Brazil, Mexico and the USA to name a few. Each centre determines the variety of support service they want to make available to meet the individual needs of the community. Centres all around the world work in specialist areas such as post war trauma, prisoner rehabilitation, and terminal illness support.
Attitudinal Healing gives people the tools needed to make healthy choices, navigate challenges and create positive change. We work toward a world where each person takes responsibility for what they think, say and do. The power is ours.
The principles of Attitudinal healing are offered as suggestions, not as rules. The principles introduce the dynamic of choice, and acknowledge our own inner wisdom.
