Process-Oriented Psychology

with dr. Susan Hatch

Processwork can radically transform your practice

So many therapists, coaches and facilitators are missing “something” in their work. They constantly doubt themselves, wonder if they’re really helping anyone, and take their work home with them.

If that sounds like you, I invite you to take a look at what adopting a more Process-Oriented Approach can do for your work, your clients, and for yourself.

 Processwork (or Process-oriented Psychology) is a practice that uses the client’s own sensory-grounded experience as the source of a change process unique to them.

How training in processwork can uplevel your practice

  • Learn to trust the process

    Follow your client’s inner sensory-grounded change process, instead of working yourself to the bone trying to make change happen

  • Let your work bring you energy

    By adopting a process-oriented approach, your client sessions become a source of vitality and joy for you, no matter who you are working with.

  • Work with any issue

    Never search around for the “right way” to work with a cient’s presenting issue again; they will show you how to follow their process.

Your guide on this journey.

I’m Dr. Susan Hatch,

When I first started practice as a therapist in the late 1980s, I was trained a little in many models - but I felt nervous and unsure about my ability to really ‘help’ anyone. 

I was constantly looking for (and training in) new approaches, trying to find what worked best.

Finally, I found Processwork - and this led to a complete shift in my approach. Now my client’s own inherent change process brings all of the answers, healing, direction, energy, and impact that my clients seek. It no longer has to come from me. 

Since 1990 I’ve trained many people in Process-oriented psychology. It has become the secret sauce that makes so many of my students super powerful at whatever therapeutic, consulting, facilitating, or business role they take on.

As a practitioner trained in Processwork, you…

  • Notice & Amplify

    You are trained to notice your client’s signals, without assumptions. You can then amplify those signals in the sensory channels in which they appear.

  • Unfold the process

    When the client’s inherent change process begins to unfold, you can work with these new experiences and aspects of their whole self as they emerge.

  • Follow the Flow

    The emergence of these experiences allow the client’s perception of their reality to achieve a flow state, shedding new light on what were problems moments before.
