Prem Dana Takada has been studying various forms of meditation for the last 14 years in Thailand, India, London, Sedona (USA) and Australia. She has developed her own therapeutic approach based on her Buddhist and Neo- Zen mystery school’s teachings which focus on mediations of the heart. In this experiential approach clients get to experience the alchemical possibilities inherent in sitting silently and going into the depth of the heart. Many discoveries, creative solutions and transformations occur spontaneously so that meditation and thereby therapy becomes not so much a doing as a non-doing or allowing of the unnatural to dissolve and the natural or the essential to flower.  Prem Dana is also an experienced Ericksonian Psychotherapist and Hypnotherapist, Solution Focused Therapists and Cognitive -Behavioral Therapists and integrates these skills in an East meets West approach.

Alchemical Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy

Alchemical Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy utilizes the powerful keys of Acceptance of What Is and the Courage of the Heart. In this approach these ancient tools of the mystics are blended with the powerful discoveries of modern therapy such as modality/sub-modality work (vision, feeling and sound), time-line work and solution-focused ratification of changes. These approaches are generic and can be used for a wide variety of emotional, relationship or behavioral difficulties since they are not so much change techniques as tools of transformation. The approach assumes that, as E. Rossi outlines, the therapist’s main role is to assist clients in getting unstuck in the creative process. The basis of this particular technique was studied during a Dehypnosis training taken in a Mystery School in India in 1994. It is a process of  assisting clients in a waking up out of the negative trances of childhood, conflict and self rejection rather than the therapist "hypnotizing" or trying to  change the client. Clients are guided through each stage within an  atmosphere of acceptance and support provided by the therapist. A perfect approach for tired souls.
