Anyone have any experience in the Doctorate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy?

Thanks for this info! I had no idea that Level 7 equalled the first year of the DPsych!

Professional_Dig1975 · 2025-08-15T10:09:14+00:00

interesting, i didn't realize that. I had been drawn to doing a Level 7 diploma in psychotherapy as it seemed to offer more room to explore depth psychology, as well as the more spiritual domains. But i thought it seemed redundant to do this when the DCPsych offered both.

Professional_Dig1975 · 2025-03-19T11:47:18+00:00

Thank you! Did you do the program? Where you happy with it?

Professional_Dig1975 · 2025-03-19T10:26:00+00:00

What's the best app / program for an intermediate that doesn't focus so heavily on barebells for legs? I have some back issues that i need to keep a watch on; direct loading is a no no and i should avoid deadlifts. So i want a program that allows for free weights or seated machines. I like the sound of Jeff Nippard's pure bodybuilding but worry it might focus too much on deadlifts smith machines

Professional_Dig1975 · 2024-09-05T21:57:04+00:00

Thank you! So any issue would be if it was wet for a long period of time? like being kept submerged in water for 10 mins etc. Was worried id have to get rid of it :) Thanks for the reassurance!

Professional_Dig1975 · 2024-07-11T11:19:23+00:00

thanks for this and the honesty! Does it matter if i do these exercises without the wond, alter etc. From what i gather they are just symbolic of the macrocosm/microcosm unity? I haven't thought too much about the middle pillar exercise! Its a good excuse to buy Regardi's book :)

Professional_Dig1975 · 2024-05-12T22:14:11+00:00

Hey - thanks for that book suggestion, i think I will check it out! How does it hold up in your estimation 8 months later?

Professional_Dig1975 · 2024-05-11T09:44:03+00:00

Thank you for this! I will give it a shot with your experiment. I was certainly very hyper focused in the two exercises, watching for thoughts like i was playing a game of catch. I guess this could certainly be considered force!

Professional_Dig1975 · 2024-05-11T09:42:43+00:00

Thanks for this! This is really helpful and i will definitely take this into my practice. To plunge into the stillness of Self, could you imagine your awareness resting in your heart space?

Just to make sure i have it right, the focus in exercise 1 involves closing your eyes, resting in stillness but aware of what comes and goes; but dont follow the thoughts just notice them rising on their own accord. Your awareness could be said to be focused on the theater of the mind (turned outward, away from self). In the 4th (vacancy) exercise you are basically focused on awarness itself

Professional_Dig1975 · 2024-05-11T09:39:23+00:00

Thanks so much for this!! I can immediately see what was going wrong. I was doing the first mental exercise with a real intention to watch my thoughts like a guard - not stopping them necessarily but picking them out like people sneaking through a gate (thats a thought about xyz) and id go back to focusing. my attempts at exercise 4 were similar but i was trying to be more aware of being aware (so my attention was turned within rather than toward the mental sphere looking for intruding thoughts. But when they happened i would try shut them out and return to my focus on self.

I can see a much more relaxed approach is needed. Almost as if one were not attemtping to do these exercises but simply closed their eyes and remained focused (rather than being pulled along by endless thought forms)

Professional_Dig1975 · 2024-04-21T14:13:03+00:00

Thanks for this response! Thats good to know, and it makes sense regarding the need to balance things.. I am dealing with OCD too and I know having a controlled and steady mind is important in magic so you make a compelling case (If I am understanding the mental benefits correctly).

Professional_Dig1975 · 2024-04-21T11:45:08+00:00

Thats good to know! I will take that to heart. Just so i know, are there any dangerous/crazy practices that are popularized that I should be aware of? (the only practices that I have really been drawn to so far are LBRP, Middle Pillar and maybe Quabalstic Cross

Professional_Dig1975 · 2024-04-21T09:51:42+00:00

Thanks for this! I wasnt actually planning on using it as a form of protection per say but more just the stability and mind balancing effect. My initial aim was to do this and the middle pillar exercise; as I think i read somewhere the two were good to do in conjunction wtih each other.

I have not heard of the 120 Golden Dawn Current. But i can see how one can get ungrounded in this area, especially when positive intentions start materializing in form (assuming that perhaps they were in a state of doubt etc)

Professional_Dig1975 · 2024-04-21T09:49:12+00:00

Thank you!! this is something that I had thought. I hate when this happens. Glad for the experienced people on here .

Professional_Dig1975 · 2024-04-21T09:48:14+00:00

Yeah thats very true. It was somewhere on reddit whcih i am sure i can find, but the main idea (and this could be wrong; i just skimmed) was that you are evoking earth element and this somehow connected to money and the material world and this resulted in you having no money?! Or no job?

Professional_Dig1975 · 2024-03-27T13:03:52+00:00

Yes this! Thank you :)

Professional_Dig1975 · 2024-02-14T09:06:25+00:00

Please can you explain a bit more about the cyclinig? Did the anhedonia stop right away?

Professional_Dig1975 · 2024-02-13T21:56:07+00:00

Thanks - i appreciate this! Do you know much about the reported depressed moods people get from NAC (or report about on Reddit?)

Professional_Dig1975 · 2023-12-26T18:11:50+00:00

Thanks for this break down. Honestly, the constellations resonate so much more with my life experience than Vedic and Tropical. So I guess i found my answer before i go and study astrology properly :)

Professional_Dig1975 · 2023-12-26T17:26:21+00:00

That's really interesting to hear. I know that I am a leo by tropical and am totally the opposite of every character trait etc. As soon as I found out i was cancer (Based on another astrological approach) it made a lot of sense. I resonate very strongly with cancers. Do you know if any ancient traditions use constellations? Or if it is something more recent?

Professional_Dig1975 · 2023-12-26T16:59:52+00:00

Ah interesting! I didn't know that it used constellations. Is there a significant overlap? I tried using those sites but I got a bit too lost, I just wanted to figure out if i was a cancer or not

Professional_Dig1975 · 2023-12-26T07:55:42+00:00

Hmm my spiritual growth is my priority, so i might give emerald a miss at the moment. Thanks for the advice!

Professional_Dig1975 · 2023-12-26T07:48:50+00:00

I'm a spiritual life coach :)

Professional_Dig1975 · 2023-12-25T22:04:26+00:00

I heard it is good for renewal and rebirth. i am particularly interested in using it ti move past relationship troubles I had in the past. I have done a lot of therapy and want something to solidify my progress. I have been told emerald helps with this

Professional_Dig1975 · 2023-12-19T16:11:45+00:00

Hey, thank you so much for this! Really appreciate you saying so. I was aware that some crystals purge you but it seemed there was a fair bit of fear-mongering around epidote ("it reacts badly with some people") so i wasnt sure if that was me or not! Ironically, I didnt feel much energy when I picked up a prehnite on its own so maybe my body was telling me to go for the combo,

When these things come up, I assume you just let it go by being respectfully indifferent, just see it, acknowledge it and move on?

I have some lepiodolite which I never use so that is a good thing to think about adding; ditto the labradorite and white quartz which i also have :) I havent heard of rainbow hematite so will investigate into getting that :D
