AUTHORS NOTE

T he goal of this book is to reach anyone who desires to learn how to live a full life of vitality and energy. To live life to its fullest, without any regrets. One of the best ways to do this is to get the most out of each day you live. One of the best ways to get the most out of each day you live is to not have the debilitating feelings of fear, anger, and grief inhibit or cripple your lifestyle. Emotional Core Therapy is the simplest and most effective behavioral psychology treatment available worldwide for most relationship stress including addictions, depression, anxiety, anger, personality disorders, childhood emotional trauma, sports psychology, and marital therapy. How does one test the validity of a psychology or self help book? What you have to do is list the top ten to twenty stressful events in your life. With the 8 step ECT Flowchart in my book you can process almost any relationship stress that occurs in life.

It is really quite that simple. All you have to do is reflect on the ten to twenty most stressful events in your life. Then write those events down on a sheet of paper. Once you have read Emotional Core Therapy (the process sinks in through repetition best) you can then process your ten stressful events through the ECT Flowchart. You will then have verified proof that ECT is the only behavioral psychology approach that is so simple you can use it for almost any relationship stress in your life. No other psychology approach, religious teaching, or educational process can claim these results.

Up till now, the vast majority of counselors, social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, and ministers have been relying on psychology techniques/approaches such as Rational Emotive Therapy/REBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy/CBT, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy/DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Psychoanalysis, Motivational Interviewing, 12 Steps, even religious teachings such as Buddhism and Christianity to heal people.

ECT uses some of the same techniques as these aforementioned approaches. However, ECT includes my own unique research and findings and condensed the ECT process to eight steps. With ECT, there is renewed hope that addictions and mental health issues can be treated more effectively throughout the world.

How can one prove the effectiveness of a psychology approach to assess the capability for treating human relationship stress? Can we measure a psychology approach like we do with a major league pitcher throwing a fastball, or an Olympic runner racing in a 100 yard dash? Unfortunately, we cannot measure any psychology approach, including ECT, over an extended period of time. When I say extended period of time I mean three to six months or longer. Why? Too many variables exist that would adversely affect an accurate measurement. For example, training of mental health professionals vary. Educational and aptitude level of people vary greatly. Resources and environments vary from person to person. Each person varies in how they experience life stresses. Also, each person carries new stress that would adversely impact any study.

Again, the only effective way to truly measure any psychology approach is to list ten to twenty stressful events that a person faces in their daily lives. Then try and process them through whatever psychology approach, religious teaching, or educational approach that you currently use. Then do the same with my eight step ECT Flowchart. There will be your proof. Only ECT effectively treats the root cause of human relationship stress. How does ECT do this? There exists a cause and effect relationship with stress. The ECT Flowchart depicts how the natural state of stress occurs. For every relationship stress a person encounters on a daily basis, one thing happens with certainty every time. What is that? One of the four true feelings, joy, grief, fear, or relief will arise and occur. These four temporary feelings cause stress to humans by altering ones central nervous system.

You cant deny, suppress, or ignore the four true and authentic feelings for very long without hurting yourself in some fashion. The four true feelings will happen no matter what you do on a daily basis. Illegal drugs and alcohol can only alter, dull, or dampen, your five senses and four feelings. Thats why emotional healthy people realize that, for the most part, taking drugs or medications wont change the conditions you face in life. Only your perception changes. Altering your mind and yourself up with depressants and stimulants will only delay your emotional growth. Why? The four true feelings are with us hourly and daily our whole lives.

ECT is one of the most important discoveries in the history of the field of psychology and mental health. Why? With ECT we have discovered the root cause of relationship stress! The root cause of stress is the temporary arousal of the four true feelings. With the eight step ECT Flowchart, we now have a psychology approach that can effectively treat the root cause of relationship stress for humans. The good news is that ECT is the simplest and most effective psychology approach to treat nearly all psychological disorders and relationship stress that people face. The exceptions are some cases where permanent physical or psychological damage has occurred. Even activities such as throwing out your back lifting a heavy object or changing your tennis swing can be understood clearer using the ECT Flowchart
