Awareness therapy is a direction that integrates scientific approaches from humanistic-existential, transpersonal, and subjective psychology, as well as spiritual Tibetan-Buddhist practices. The main principles of awareness therapy are acknowledging a person’s empirical experience, openness to others, attentiveness to oneself and others, a supportive environment, helpful motivation, and respect for one’s experiences [4].
The starting point of this therapy is to help individuals live their experiences in both the problem zone and the development zone during the session. This involves acceptance, understanding, and the discovery of new opportunities. It is a practice of deep awareness, where awareness is not just an observer but also a creator of reality. The client’s awareness is directed toward their request and its resolution, supported by the therapist.
Sessions in awareness therapy are therapeutic rather than meditative. When negative memories surface, they are not only acknowledged but also processed, unlocking the client’s potential and fostering personal growth. As a result, it becomes easier to be "here and now."
Mastering the skill of awareness in awareness therapy does not require additional time; it occurs during therapy sessions. With the therapist’s support, individuals "activate" their capacity for awareness, awaken, and undergo something akin to initiation. This process is immediately used to resolve the client’s request.
Anyone capable of reflecting on their state can benefit from awareness therapy (except individuals in psychotic or severe psycho-emotional states). However, in the initial stages, the participation of a trained, empathetic, and aware therapist is essential.
Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., has received lifetime achievement awards from the Parapsychological Association, the International Association for the Study of Dreams, and the Society for Humanistic Psychology.

He is an Affiliated Distinguished Faculty member of the California Institute of integral Studies and is the author of numerous publications, including Understanding PTSD in Veterans, Including Women, Reservists, and Iraq War Veterans.
