Let's Get to Know Each Other

Hi, I'm glad you're here.

Let's get to know each other.

I'll go first.

There is a place for you to share at the bottom of the page if you'd like. I'd love to know who you are and how I could help you through this site. You can fake your name if you want ... or change it to something you'd rather be known by. 

I'm Cathy Chapman and I've been a psychotherapist since 1976. Since that time I've acquired a bunch of initials after my name. I've dropped more initials than I have now.

Over the years I've integrated spirituality, psychotherapy, energy work and hypnotherapy into a powerful process of brief therapy. I work from a spiritual and energetic model rather than the traditional medical model.

The spiritual model is based upon my belief that people are perfect spiritual beings who came into their physical body to explore life and, believe it or not, have fun.

Each and every life event can, if you allow, lead to spiritual and emotional growth. Common beliefs such as "I'm not good enough," "I'm unlovable," "Only bad things happen to me," "My value depends upon what I do," are spiritual issues that sabotage healthy relationships with God, yourself and others.

My life purpose is journeying with folks like yourself who are ready to heal the past and discover the truth of who you are.

You are made in the image and likeness of God. Since God is Love, you are Love. You, me, everyone is learning to be the Love we are as we learn to forgive, ask forgiveness, and accept ourselves and others.

This journey brings us to realize we all are part of the divine Oneness.

My own continuing journey to wholeness prepares me to share what I've discovered about spiritual growth.

People have told me they find my journey fascinating. It's "normal" to me just as yours is to you. Please share your journey below, as I'm sure I'd find yours fascinating.

I began life as what is known as a "cradle Catholic." The French side of my family has been Roman Catholic for centuries. I was a pretty traditional Catholic for my childhood and teen years.

In 1975 I entered the convent as a Dominican Sister of Houston, TX. There I remained for 20 years.

Those fruitful 20 years taught me much about spiritual growth, living with others and the struggle to be my authentic self.

While in the convent I was introduced to Centering Prayer, a mystical form of prayer. I began to experience God being within me and not some being somewhere "out there."

Towards the end of my convent sojourn, I was introduced to energy work through Healing Touch™. This precipitated a radical change in my spiritual life as well as beginning years of study of various forms of energy work.

The experience of God, Higher Power, All That Is, Universal Love, became a constant and daily reality. Some of the multitude of spiritual helpers on the inner planes began to reveal themselves to me. (You have your own set of helpers.)

Soon I became aware of the dark side of the spiritual world and discovered my path included re-membering the dark to the Light. I call this process Spiritual Lovefare.

As my involvement in mysticism grew, I found the structure of the convent restrictive and chose to leave.

On an academic level, my doctorate is in Mind/Body Psychology from The Union Institute and University in Cincinnati. I also have a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Stephen F. Austin State University and a Master of Arts in Theology from the University of Notre Dame.

In addition, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Certified Hypnotherapist (C.Ht.), and a Certified Body Talk Practitioner

I've studied hypnotherapy and have received certificates in Advanced Hypnotherapy and Release Therapy. I also studied Pranic Healing and am a Reiki Master.

As I integrated my spirituality and my professional practice, my spiritual growth continued through my studies of various forms of mysticism and prayer.

This resulted in me being given by Spirit a powerful healing prayer while working with a client. The Soul Healing Prayer is simple 5-Step healing prayer anyone can use for healing.

In the last few years I've dev led into the study of The BodyTalk System and PSYCH-K™. Through these powerful tools I am able to connect with innate wisdom, God's love and grace, and facilitate balance in your body as well as implant belief systems supportive for your life goals.

Most importantly, the healing energy of God comes through me more powerfully that ever before.

I am well aware I am an instrument of God's healing love. My greatest desire is to facilitate your healing, and teach you the tools you can use for self healing.

I want to work myself out of a job!

So, that's me.
