There are no miracles - save the one that you ALREADY ARE!
_One of the most often heard statements about Af-x from clients
BEFORE they do Af-x therapy is, "Thank goodness; at last some help where
I don't have to do all that talking!" And the most often heard statement from clients AFTER they have done the therapy is, "Thank you! THAT's what I've been looking for!"

Since the days of Freud and Jung, the 'helping professions' have become spellbound by the need to talk. From those analytic roots, clients of psychotherapists and almost all alternative therapists the world over have been expected to be able to firstly build descriptions of exactly what ails them on the emotional spectrum, and secondly, construct stories that are intended to delve into past and present mental and emotional experiences.
But, what if - just WHAT IF - it is largely impossible to construct those stories in any authentic way? What if you feel the need to comply with this age-old myth of talking it out, and begin to confabulate your stories, present and past, and even begin to believe that they are real and truthful? What then? For a hundred and fifty years, professional followers and fans of analytic psychology and counseling have ignored the fact that the truth may be very hard to come by. For a hundred and fifty years it has been the way of therapy for the therapist to be the guide in this 'talk-fest' - the 'wisdom-giver'. And what if that's wrong? Recent decades have seen the rise of what is known as Affective Neuroscience: the study of the formation of our human affective (emotional) sub-personality that occurs long before we have the benefit of verbal ability to describe our experience. Affective neuroscience researchers have shown that emotional constructs are learned, unconsciously memorized and entrenched as early in our experience as twenty-four weeks into gestation. The 'habit-set' emotional responses go on to develop over the period when we are incapable of forming verbally-constructed stories about 'self' until what is known as the verbal emergent stage, later (months) into infancy. But, what of this very important and naturally-dictated non-verbal mold or model when we begin to learn words; this pre-verbal emotional sub-personality? Do we jettison it like stabbing the delete key? Of course not! - although modern psychology and its practitioners seem to have ignored what affective neuroscience and quantum psychology are telling them - that remnants and traces of those primary emotional learnings still, in all likelihood, exist today and influence our very core nature, attitudes and the ways in which we deal with life's fluctuating experiences. And in flies logic and philosophy with a healthy dose of Eastern-inspired mindfulness tradition that helps us balance emotional upsets through the ways of 'mind insearch.' And it's called 'Af-x .' _This is the CORE of Af-x and
Clinical Affectology - a return to the humanistic and respectful
abilities that every human being possesses ... to relearn anything that has been learned in the past ... to get back to Emotions.In.Balance
_Perhaps the most important concept for Af-x therapy lies in these three statements:
The success rate of Af-x has been proven through a stringent 'efficacy-study' program - operated over more than 15 years. It has been shown to be a highly effective method of helping in the task of emotional resolution. The information in this site is the result of more than two decades of research in neuropsychology, and experience in psychotherapeutic approaches and the integration of Western and Eastern views of health and wellbeing. The intention is to offer explanations about the existence and performance of the 'underbelly' of emotional existence in every human being, and nothing appears on this site that has not been witnessed or gleaned from the thousands of ex-clients of Af-x who have found vast improvement, ranging from the subtle to the incredibly life-changing. Because all people have different emotional health profiles, having experienced huge differences in environmental events and emotional points of origin, the information here has been generalized for a broad audience. Nonetheless, the conceptual positions offered here apply to every person. We all behave in privately-predictable (emotionally habitual) ways reliant on the 'neuro-mechanics' of learning and unconscious maintenance of those learnings. It is impossible to guarantee positive results for everybody, and nobody expects that guarantee, but this (Af-x) work would not be in existence and trained Af-x practitioners would not be allowed to practice under the registered banner of 'Af-x,' if long-term client feedback had not shown an extraordinary high level of success of this approach. Please take this information as being applicable to you in the general 'human condition' sense; yet understand that you are an individual. All our complex emotional underpinnings need to be integrated toward change and healing. Af-x offers the broadest potential to help bring those levels of emotional existence into line. If you are ready to step up to the plate, re-evaluate and improve your affect - emotional - life, and make an inquiry or make an appointment, it's important that you first read the Af-x pre-session information. You'll find it here. |

We welcome you to these pages and hope you will find answers to some of the puzzling questions about our emotional lives and our mental wellbeing. Af-x and Affectology present a completely new and different way of defining human mental and emotional experience and what to do when living either 'hurts' or is even mildly uncomfortable.
You, like everyone else, has the right to be free of old learned emotional patterns that may simply be silent but powerfully controlling your whole life and the relationships in your life; your relationships with others, and more importantly, your relationship with yourself. If 150 years of building a tangled web of incessant talk therapy can be described as 'The Gordian Knot', then Af-x is here to help you find a much better way through that. Dr Dovelos' comment below speaks volumes. |
"White’s work is a pioneering, new and radical approach to
therapy that circumvents over-complex and often unnecessary analysis and goes
directly,
effectively and respectfully, to the crux of what has been creating serious
problems to the human race - individually and collectively – in the last 2 or 3
thousand years. Many
have tried over the centuries, some almost did it, but White is the one who has
eventually cut the Gordian knot."
