Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is PSYCH-K®?
PSYCH-K® is a unique way to identify and change subconscious beliefs that perpetuate behaviors you would like to change. It’s a simple process that helps you communicate directly with your subconscious mind so you can change beliefs that sabotage you (i.e. self-esteem, relationships, job performance, emotional and physical health). It is a user-friendly way to rewrite the software of your mind in order to change the printout of your life.
Q: Where did PSYCH-K® come from?
Rob Williams, M.A. is the originator of PSYCH-K®. For thirteen years Rob was a practicing psychotherapist. PSYCH-K® came in 1988 as a response to the frustration he felt realizing that traditional counseling techniques, relying mostly on “insight, seldom created real and lasting change. His background in business and psychotherapy created 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 subconscious, which is capable of creating dramatic and lasting changes quickly and easily.
Q: How does PSYCH-K® work?
PSYCH-K® evolved from years of split-brain research, also known as brain dominance theory, as well as hundreds of sessions with groups and individuals. By increasing the cross-talk between hemispheres, a receptive state of mind is created that dramatically reduces resistance to change at the subconscious level. The subconscious mind and the beliefs it holds (similar to your computer programs and files) can be accessed much to you might access a word document on your computer hard drive, using a “mental keyboard” so to speak. It’s a user friendly method of communicating with the subconscious.

Q: What if I don’t want to share my personal problems with the group?
The workshop focuses on learning how to do PSYCH-K® with yourself and others. While practicing the balances in class, we use preprinted belief statements that will support you in learning and doing PSYCH-K®.
PSYCH-K® is respectful of ones privacy and changes can take place privately with only the individual knowing what the issue is. Working with personal issues usually occurs in private sessions and only comes up in a workshop if a participant chooses to bring them up.
Q: How is this different from all the other self-help workshops?
PSYCH-K® is unique in several ways: Its grace and simplicity honors the inner and higher wisdom within you. Permission protocols are used prior to any change being made that ensures each balance is in your highest and best interest and will cause no harm. It elicits direct feedback from the subconscious mind in its willingness and ability to make a change. Change is verifiable, using pre-testing and post-testing, it takes the guess work out of change, leaving you with confirmation that a belief is now different. It empowers each individual to take responsibility for their own life experience and eliminates the need for an external professional to get you where you want to be. PSYCH-K® focuses on where you “want to be” and gives you tools to get you there.
Q: Who can attend a workshop?
Due to its simplicity, this workshop would be appropriate for anyone interested in making positive changes in their own life and/or helping others. Previous participants have included: parents, students, counselors, therapists, physicians, nurses, message therapists, teachers, coaches, as well as people who have tried everything else and still aren’t where they want to be.
Q: Is there an age requirement to attend?
How old you are is less important then a desire to learn PSYCH-K®, understand the concepts, participate in the "hands on" learning experience and understand the importance of changing beliefs.
Q: How does PSYCH-K® work with my religion?
By identifying and releasing subconscious resistance you may be consciously unaware of, PSYCH-K® can enhance your connection to God, the Universe or Divinity and support your personal religious or spiritual beliefs.
Q: What if I don’t experience a change?
If this occurs, it would be helpful to ask yourself, "What benefit do I gain from the old thoughts or behaviors?" When this is considered openly and honestly; the result is usually quite profound and revealing. You may choose to do additional balances taking into consideration the "secondary gain benefits," which resulted in manifesting the behaviors or situation.
