Core Process is based upon Buddhist psychology and integrates western psychotherapeutic approaches, particularly the analytical, from an object-relations perspective. The ‘Core’ is that unconditioned state inherent in every human being. It is the potential for pure, open awareness in the present whose qualities manifest as peace, compassion, loving kindness and joy. Our ‘Core Process’ is the movement from our inherent core state towards a sense of separateness and personality formation. Core Process Psychotherapy facilitates an awareness of this personality shape and the suffering that arises in attachment and identification with it. By resting in the present moment, truly seeing things as they are there is potential for a greater state of awareness to develop with a natural arising of compassion, love, greater spontaneity and joy.
Because the fundamental underpinnings of Core Process Psychotherapy emphasise the development of compassion, wisdom and compassionate self acceptance this cannot be approached without training the mind to be mindful.
