Dear Friend,

Menarche: Perfect Time to Empower Girls to Change the World
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The nature of puberty -- physically created by the Life Force expanding toward maturity and assisted by zooming hormones- results in the amazing body changes we all can plainly see in a young woman. These same forces open a girl to new concepts; new ways of thinking and perceiving. Puberty is a time when many beliefs are formed or hardened, therefore this time in a girl's life is the perfect opportunity for infusing positive thoughts and images into her awakening mature body/mind system. We must support girls and young women to see themselves for who they truly are - having unlimited creative potential

Menstruation as it Relates to Sexual Issues

Most psychotherapists are reluctant to discuss a client’s sexual issues in therapy much less take a through sexual history of their patients. Most therapists just aren’t trained to do it and of much more concern they have not worked through their own deep issues that relate to sexuality (and what doesn’t?) in their own therapy. (See more about that concern in next section.) Even among those that do take sexual histories, not one conventional therapist that I have queried, asks about a woman’s menstrual history. There still seems to be a taboo about that bloody bodily function.

Just watch the most “out there” TV show, Sex in the City and observe how often sexual intercourse is discussed, and shown. Menstruation – never.

Sexual Force Equals Life Stream

Core Energetics therapists are a different breed— they are well schooled to feel comfortable with sexual issues. And they spend years in training and in personal therapy dealing with energetic issues including their stream of sexuality/creativity. Wilhelm Reich, MD, Alexander Lowen, MD, and John Pierrakos, MD, all taught that the sexual force was paramount in our human life. John Pierrakos, founder of Core Energetics wrote, spoke and taught that the sexual force was one of the major life streams -- love and Eros were the other two. I observed that even John Pierrakos, because he grew up in Greece in the early 1920’s, held on to some distortions about menstruation that I challenged and discussed with him. John was willing to learn and expand his concepts.

Don’t Hold Back Your Life Force!

John taught that all three, Love, Eros and sexuality, had to be in balance for a person to enjoy optimum health. In fact, if the sexual force was held back, usually by emotional issues resulting from childhood misdirected teaching, a contracted body and mind always ensued. These contractions would ultimately manifest in a physical dis-ease process, but before reaching the physical they manifest in emotional issues.

Fear, anxiety, and depression are a few of the problems faced by someone who leads a sexually repressed life due to wrong concepts taught by parents, grandparents and churches. The cycle continues as distortions harden into negative belief systems that create major misery in life.

What Happens if You Hold Back?

Among the issues women experience when they hold their sexual forces in are: dysmenorrhea, (painful menstruation), PMS, uterine fibroids, headaches, tooth grinding, TMJ syndrome, being non orgasmic, and vaginismis, (uncontrollable contraction of the vagina which therefore does not allow penetration). (Men experience headaches, depression, anxiety, prostate problems and premature ejaculation.)

Tell Your Story

If you are a woman in therapy -- be sure you tell your therapist your coming of age and menstruation stories. What did your mother tell you? How did she act? What kind of role model was she for you as a woman? How did you father, brother, uncle and other men treat you when you began to grow breasts? Get your period?

Therapists Must Ask

If you are a therapist reading this, be sure to ask all women to tell their stories about how they were prepared or not prepared for puberty. Ask what happened to them, how they were treated, how their mothers and fathers responded, and how they felt when they began, what I like to call, their bleeding time. You may be surprised at the rich “grist” of information you gather for the therapy mill.

Girls Need Healthy Mentors

Girls need help to understand, in the healthiest most natural way, what is happening to them during their transition into womanhood. A girl needs a mentor and if her mother is able she makes the best mentor.

Get Help!

Many mothers, however, have not dealt with their own sexual distortions and traumas. Mother’s of daughters must be free and clear about their own lives and bodies, to best assist their daughters grow into sexually healthy women. Mom must get help, go into Core Energetics therapy, and if not available, Bioenergetic Analysis, or another form of Body Psychotherapy. Go to www.core-energetics- south.com. Also you may try www.usabp.com , and www.bioenergetics-society.com to find someone in your area to assist you.

Two Research Projects: I Need your Help!

1. Anger: Please tell Me Your Story of Healing Your Anger

Some conventional research is currently showing that people who do anger work which involves hitting, kicking, yelling etc, get more angry instead of less angry. My experience is different of course. I will write an article speaking to this issue. Please write and tell me your story of healing through Core Energetics. I need your experience for my article.

1. Therapists Without Therapy: Tell me Your Story Please

The majority of MA and Ph.D. level academic programs that I have queried, or heard about from students or former students, do not require their students to have personal therapy.

I have worked with Ph.D.. and MA, psychology, social work and masters degree counselor students over the years, who have complained that they learned little to nothing about how to actually conduct therapy and especially concerning to me, were not taught how to deal with counter-transferential issues.

They were not required to have personal therapy.

The only way to understand counter- transference issues is to work on yourself.

In Core Energetic South's training program we start teaching self responsibility and transference in year one. We focus on counter-transference in our two clinical years and in all case supervision.

If you are a therapist please write and tell me:

Did you have personal therapy, or real group therapy, ( as opposed to a class in Group Process), in your academic program?

Please tell me if it was required that you have personal therapy as part of your academic graduate program.

Please tell me where you went to school and when you graduated.

Please tell me if and where you did get personal therapy?

Did you seek an experiential training program in order to work on your personal issues?

Please email me at drpam@core-energetics-south.com

Thank You! You will be among the first to get the results I will write about these two subjects, Anger and Training of Therapists, in this newsletter.

PS I specialize in mentoring and supervising psychotherapists and healers. Now with skype free international access it is easy to work with me from another country or continent. Email me.

Mentoring Therapists

Empowering Girls to Love Themselves!

"Girls need nourishment for their hearts and spirits in order to grow and be emotionally and physically healthy young women. To help girls feel good about themselves we need to celebrate them and be joyful about our own lives. Create ceremony for yourself and help your daughter, granddaughter, or any young woman you care about, celebrate the process of becoming a woman by creating ceremony and ritual around the time of her First Blood." ~ Pam Chubbuck
