Where this sits

Part 01 of 4

Full path

Who this course is for

Some people begin because they want to work with their own pain. Others come from therapy, coaching, healing, teaching, or facilitation and want a more direct way to support change.

Break through what keeps you stuck

Build enough self-awareness to work with anxiety, inner conflict, and emotional blocks while they are happening.

Help change how healing happens

Learn a direct way to work with emotional charge instead of relying only on explanation, coping, or analysis after the fact.

Reach deeper than traditional methods

The Paradox Process offers deeper-reaching techniques that access the subconscious directly, creating movement where conventional approaches like EMDR, EFT, NLP, and CBT can plateau.

What changes through the work

A proven system since 1985

The Paradox Process has been taught and practiced for more than four decades. This course introduces the core tools in a sequence you can return to.

Tools for growth & impact

Use the tools personally, or bring them carefully into an existing therapeutic, coaching, healing, or teaching practice.

A course you can return to

Paradox Fundamentals is built for integration, not a one-time burst of inspiration. With self-paced modules and lifetime access, you can revisit each lesson as your understanding and practice deepen.

Anyone who wants a practical way to work with emotional pain, resistance, and change. Some people take it for themselves; others take it because they already support clients, students, or communities.

How long does the course take?

This is a self-paced course with lifetime access to all course material. Our recommended pace is one module per week — giving you time to learn, practice, and integrate each tool before moving on.

What format is the course?

Paradox Fundamentals is a 9-module video course you can access from any computer or mobile device. The material is yours to revisit and reference long after you complete the course.

Can I use these tools with my clients?

If you're a therapist, coach, healer, yoga teacher, or service provider, the tools you learn are yours to use personally and with your clientele. For deeper mastery of sharing these tools with others, we recommend continuing with the full Facilitator Certification program — available exclusively to graduates of this course.
