Within each person, there are transformative qualities which can dramatically alter what a person can be.
Therefore, each psychotherapeutic session is an opportunity to let go of troublesome, unwanted, or discouraging feelings and move in the direction of becoming a completely new person. Using the “experiential” model of psychotherapy as developed by Dr. Alvin R. Mahrer, each session is an opportunity for transformation - a time for change.
Experiential psychotherapy does not aim at reducing or resolving problems. It's directions of change include the washing away of bad feelings of pain, hurt, suffering; the ending of scenes of bad feelings; no longer does the person behave in ways that construct and use the situational context to undergo painful experiencing accompanied with bad feelings (Mahrer, 1996).
Currently, Howard is completing his Ph.D. at Concordia University in Montreal. He is also an instructor in the Department of Continuing Education at Vanier College and in the Department of Religion at Concordia University.
