The Hoffman Process: The World-Famous Technique That Empowers You to Forgive Your Past, Heal Your Present, and Transform Your Future

by Tim Laurence, Joan Borysenko (Foreword)

For more than 35 years, the Hoffman Process has been recognized as one of the most potent transformational processes; however, the 8-day residential program is out of reach for most people. Now, Tim Laurence reveals this powerful methodology with warmth and clarity. Using practical exercises, personal stories, case histories, and insightful commentary, Laurence skillfully teaches how to identify and resolve the inherited patterns of behavior that cause emotional and spiritual pain. In this book readers will learn powerful ways to:

Break the compulsive patterns that run your life, exercise your own free will, and regain control of your thoughts and behavior
Free up energy by releasing your pent-up resentments and directly experience your own spirituality
Identify what you really want in life, and finally make the changes you have been putting off for years

The Hoffman Process is endorsed by an extraordinary array of experts and leaders from all walks of life, and it includes the results of a grant research study proving the long-term effectiveness of the Process.

a lot about why i am a freak. it is quite enlightening, however redundant. i "get it" after 4 chapters, no need to keep going.

I am sure most folks who attend the 8 day seminar will say there is no substitute. But if you do the exercises in the book, you have an appreciation for the process at a fraction of the cost. In addition, I had done Lifespring almost 20 years ago and knew what would be expected at a group seminar of such type. The patterns process of who you are and recognizing the patterns and the definitions specifically the quadrinity check are powerful, effective and calming. Highly recommended for those who want to know about this process.

“If you put an angry bull inside a barn, he will kick the doors down and harm himself. But if you give him a big field, he will discharge his anger without hurting himself or anyone.” -Buddha

“The man who never made mistake mistakes, never learned anything new.” - Einstein

Becoming aware that something needs to change in your life is the first step to healing

If you keep going in the same direction, you’ll end up the way you’re headed

Envisioning a new direction is wonderful but walking down it is even more rewarding

We are spiritual beings having a human experience

To the normal person, everything is either a blessing or a curse. To the warrior, everything is a challenge.

I found the Hoffman Process to be rather skimable. The processes involved have been used for several decades, especially in Gestalt work. It's a very expressive and extroverted form of therapy. I'm sure it has helped many people in the week long workshops.

Forgiveness is a main theme when any therapy is effective... Self forgiveness is aided in this book.

Parents are the route to your problems... only finished half. might review, but I got the gist

Excellent book helping to understand why we do the things we do. Especially helpful before doing the Hoffman Process, but I plan to re-read now fast I've done the Process.

Just started reading this, so far it's pretty amazing. If you are interested in Psychology and different methods of therapy especially Humanistic Approaches then check this out.
