Frequently Asked Questions

PSYCH-K® is a proven and safe way to change subconscious beliefs that perpetuate old habits of thinking and behaving that you would like to change. PSYCH-K® belief change processes are easy to learn and use. They enable you to communicate with your subconscious mind so you can change beliefs that are limiting your self-esteem, relationships, job performance, even your physical health…and much more! PSYCH-K® is popularly characterized as a spiritual process with psychological and physical benefits. While the term “psych” is often used as an abbreviation for “psychology,” in our case it is used as a variant spelling of the word psyche, meaning “mind,” “soul,” or “spirit.” The letter “K” represents the Key to sustainable success.

PSYCH-K® is a unique process, having evolved from years of brain research and thousands of sessions with individuals and groups. It creates a receptive, “Whole-Brain State” that dramatically reduces unwanted resistance to change in the subconscious mind. The subconscious can be accessed in a way analogous to a personal computer. PSYCH-K® works as a kind of ‘mental keyboard’ — a user-friendly method of communicating with the subconscious mind that is simple, direct, and verifiable. When you learn to rewrite the software of your mind, you can change the printout of your life! Click here for neuroscience research about PSYCH-K® and the Whole-Brain State.

A PSYCH-K® Balance is a process designed to create balanced communication between both hemispheres of the cerebral cortex. This “Whole-Brain State” is ideal for reprogramming the subconscious mind with new self-enhancing beliefs that support your goals rather than block them!

PSYCH-K® differs from other modalities in a variety of ways. While most change processes have value, there are important differences among them that make a difference. You may be surprised to read about these key differences! Many of these contrasts are addressed in Chapter 7 of Rob Williams’ book PSYCH-K… The Missing Piece Peace In Your Life. To view the contents of Chapter 7, click the following link: The Differences That Make a Difference.

PSYCH-K® was originated in 1988 by Robert M. Williams, M.A. It was a response to the frustration that came with the realization that typical counseling techniques, which rely almost exclusively on “insight” and “motivation,” seldom create real and lasting changes. Rob has spent more than 30 years developing and improving PSYCH-K®. His background in both business and psychotherapy creates a results-oriented approach to personal change. PSYCH-K® was inspired by a variety of processes, some contemporary and some ancient. It deals with the part of the mind called the subconscious, which is capable of creating dramatic and lasting changes, quickly and easily.

PSYCH-K® can function differently for different people. It is truly a multi-functional, multi-disciplinary process to aid individuals in achieving their goals in life. In the hands of an individual, it can serve to help transform limiting subconscious beliefs that often block the expression of one’s full potential in life. In the hands of a professional mental health practitioner, it becomes an effective adjunct to traditional insight-based talk therapies. For people who have physical health challenges, it is a way to complement standard medical treatment by helping to activate the body’s natural self-healing properties. In the hands of a spiritual seeker, it is a tool to reduce stress by eliciting a Whole-Brain State. This is a special state of consciousness that activates both hemispheres of the brain simultaneously and thus helps to “clear the signal” to your inner spiritual guidance, thereby creating a gateway to higher consciousness. In other words, PSYCH-K® can dramatically assist you in accelerating your own spiritual evolution, as well as help you in being the best version of yourself you can be in your everyday life. The application of the PSYCH-K® principles, philosophy, and methodology, is applicable to achieving a wide variety of goals, depending on one’s personal desires and/or professional skill sets. Overall, PSYCH-K® helps individuals to consciously and subconsciously re-perceive themselves, their circumstances, and their personal potential, in order to lead a happier and more satisfying life.

Your subconscious beliefs establish the limits of what you can achieve. If your life feels like a car being driven with one foot on the accelerator and one foot on the brake, chances are you have a conflict between your conscious goals and your subconscious beliefs. This kind of conflict can show up in your relationships, job performance, self-esteem, athletics, weight loss, prosperity, even your physical health. If you are facing challenges in any of these areas, you should contact a Certified PSYCH-K® Instructor for a schedule of in-person, or an online workshop. Select Workshops, above, to learn more about the various courses we offer.

It is important to know that PSYCH-K® is not a substitute for professional medical treatment, rather it is has proven to be a complement to it. The PSYCH-K® approach is about transforming any limiting subconscious beliefs you have that may be related to your condition. Especially those that are stress-related. These beliefs are usually acquired in the early stages of your life, and often persist into adulthood, below the level of your conscious awareness. There is a scientifically, well-established biological interaction between the mind and the body. That is where PSYCH-K® may be of help to you. In PSYCH-K® your condition is not addressed as a medical doctor would, using a diagnosis and treatment program. In other words, with PSYCH-K® we do not diagnose or treat diseases. However, by using PSYCH-K®, you can change subconscious beliefs that may be influencing your health and wellbeing, both mentally and physically. And, sometimes a condition improves dramatically just by using PSYCH-K®! While it is not possible to guarantee a specific result, which depends largely on the individual and his or her condition, PSYCH-K® has a 30+ year history of helping people achieve a satisfying and joyful life, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. If you are ready to move forward in your life by co-creating a new state of wellbeing, you can either learn how to do so by attending a PSYCH-K® Basic Workshop or a PSYCH-K® Online Level 1 Workshop, you can schedule a private session with a PSYCH-K® Preferred Facilitator. These sessions can be done in-person, or long distance, via phone or teleconferencing services such as Zoom, Skype, Bluejeans, etc.

Yes! You can reduce stress, improve sales performance, enhance your leadership ability, increase your job satisfaction, and more. Beliefs and perceptions are the foundation for our life experience, both personally and professionally. PSYCH-K® gives you access to upgrade those beliefs in your personal life as well as within the business environment.

Until 1997, Rob was the only person teaching PSYCH-K®. Now there’s a growing number of carefully selected Certified Instructors, teaching PSYCH-K® courses all over the world. PSYCH-K® has been growing in popularity for over 30 years! It’s not the latest fad in personal development that is often untested and unproven. Instead, it’s a proven method for personal growth that has a strong spiritual component, not often found in other systems. It’s a unique approach to subconscious belief change that is now being recognized as a breakthrough in personal growth and spiritual evolution. In addition to PSYCH-K’s significant contribution to the field of self-help, it is gaining awareness as an effective catalyst for self-realization. It is often characterized as a kind of spiritual process with psychological and physical benefits.

Yes! In addition to years of research in the field of what is usually referred to as split-brain research, which began in the late 1950’s, a contemporary study regarding PSYCH-K® specifically, was published in 2011. The study was conducted using contemporary, neuro-scientific protocols. The point of the study was to determine if the Whole-Brain Posture, used extensively in PSYCH-K®, could in fact create the desired bi-lateral, symmetrical, brainwave pattern that is desired for changing subconscious beliefs. In the fall of 2011, the results were published in three peer-reviewed journals, including the fields of neuroscience, psychotherapy, and business management.
