WHAT IS
?
Through
the application of a variety of programmed interview formats using
cybernetic, heuristic, programming concepts and techniques with respondents
participating in video feedback sessions to achieve self-actualization
and continuing self-unfoldment - constantly striving for higher levels
of self-realization, self-integration and self-transcendence in an
on-going enlightening experience of an inner transformational dialogue
with one's ever-expanding consciousness, re-programming it into that
of the divine individual persona, comes the discovery that we are
ALL embryonic Gods! This methodology reaches
beyond the purviews of religion, politics and sociology and the mental
health sciences of psychiatry and psychology that use the medical
model of diagnosis/treatment/prognosis by immersing the respondent
and VIDEOSYNERGIST
in the living world of the respondent's idiosyncratic exploration
of their own consciousness factor itself, revealing the significance
of the buried symbolic contents of their sub-conscious and unconscious
concepts regarding paranormal, supernatural, spiritual, mystical,
metaphysical archetypal structures that reveal the unique individuality
of their own inner truth and cosmic reality. The respondent's participation
in this dynamic cathartic interview process exerts a powerful purging,
healing, uplifting, therapeutic effect upon their disintegrated and
fragmented consciousness, achieved through the release of powerful
upward spiraling energies of the soul, in a dialectic integration
of buried random memories of actions and reactions to the impacts
of life's experiences in this as well as previous lives reflected
upon the current screen of the total human social functioning matrix
of one's conscious being and world as it is experienced and expressed
in the ever present, ever living here and now!
VIDEOSYNERGY®
is an heuristic therapeutic communications method utilizing an individual's
own negative frustrating life experiences and perceptions to reach
a subjective/objective synthesis of personal, idiosyncratic, present
time mental, emotional and physical functional awareness. This is
achieved through a programmed application of a PROTOPYPE session process
using a state-of-the-art VIDEO FEEDBACK SYSTEM and plug-in INTERVIEW
PROTOCOLS. This approach shifts the function of the interviewer from
that of a therapist to that of an operator/practitioner/consultant,
called a "VIDEOSYNERGIST™."
There is no emphasis on analyzing, treating, counseling, advising,
changing, modifying or controlling the client. The sanctity of
the individual is recognized and respected. The videosynergist acts
as a guide and assistant through the VIDEOSYNERGY®
session process while the client does the work of exploring the reality
of their world.
A VIDEOSYNERGIST™ is a highly trained, skilled technician who instructs, assists and guides a person through the LIFE MATRIX™ INTERVIEW (LMI), or one of four other well-defined VIDEOSYNERGY® SESSION MODELS. These hour-long session PROTOCOLS are differentiated by their time orientation. They are: the Mirroring Interview (MI), Present Time; the Slice Of Life Interview (SOLI), a Segment from the last 24 hours; the Critical Incident Interview (CII); and the Future Event Projection Interview (FEPI).
The VIDEOSYNERGY®
method, PROTOTYPE
PROCESS and SESSION
PROTOCOLS define the boundaries within which a person searches
for meaning to their struggle through frustrating and often chaotic
life experiences - formulating questions and seeking answers in terms
unique to their own negative, energy blocking reaction formations,
confronting and dissolving such blockages. Frustration is challenged,
thereby releasing bound-up energy to be rechanneled into creative
action.
After completing a VIDEOSYNERGY®
session, a client feels a compelling need to DO
something about what had been learned, or discovered. Following a
period of psychic gestation, creative action is soon forthcoming.
In summary, this method is a means of self-actualization, consciousness
expansion and self-transformation that results in improved social
functioning based on the client's own subjective/objective perception
of a more integrated state of self-awareness -- the boundaries of
which can only be determined by the individual who participates in
using the method.
The VIDEOSYNERGY®
method is flexible and adaptable. There are programmed models for
one-hour COUPLES
sessions using the MI,
SOLI, CII and FEPI
formats with minor variations in the instructions and timing frameworks
from those used in individual sessions. A programmed model has been
developed for conducting VIDEOSYNERGY®
sessions with FAMILIES
and small GROUPS
of up to 10 members. The method has been used to program model TUTORIAL
applications for teaching a number of academic subjects, including
VIDEOSYNERGY®
TRAINING.
