Become recognized

Schools and training programs in regression therapy may apply for school recognition. This means that their program will be listed as such on this website, with a link to their website. Their graduates can become EARTh members and their students may become student-members of EARTh, without further screening.

In the list below, we tell you what documentation we would like to receive and what questions we want to be answered. We need that to have your training program "on our files," so we are able to answers questions about our list, when we will get them.

A part of the documents and of the answers we use to get an impression about the quality of your program. It may be that we will ask a few questions in follow up, when things are not yet clear to us. Our recognition depends on the information you provide.

What are the conditions for recognized schools?

• At least one of the responsible school teachers should be a professional member of EARTh. When there are four or more members in the faculty that runs the program, at least two of them should be professional EARTh-members. (You can either apply for professional membership first or you can wait for the outcome of the school recognition process before you apply.)

• Each year the school will relay an invitation to us by the students so that they can be invited to become student members.
  
  
• Each year, the school will provide EARTh with a list of graduates, and with the place and time of the graduation ceremony (if any), so that the graduates can be invited to become professional members.
  

EARTh evaluates schools at the moment on the following criteria:

• The school screens candidates and has documented acceptance criteria.

• It publishes course outlines that show content, duration and cost of training.

• It offers sufficient tutor-faced learning (at least 16-20 days).

• It teaches most or all of the basic curriculum of regression therapy:

• Conducting intake interviews.

• Knowledge of basic psychopathology covering the contra-indicators for regression therapy.

• Knowing how to go to the source of the problem, without getting stuck in treating symptoms ("life-changing" results)

• Possibly knowing hypnosis or visualization as inductions, but certainly bridge techniques.

• Exploring episodes and whole lifetimes in a therapeutically meaningful way.

• Dealling with prenatal, childhood and other present-life trauma, with past-life trauma and with attachments (including entities or foreign energy-parts).

• Knowing how to get cathartic release: mentally, emotionally and bodily.

• Knowing how to complete, reinforce and anchor cathartic results. Integration of results in the present.

• Finding and liberating client resources.

• The basics of soul retrieval: finding and integrating lost energies.

• It requires students to work on their personal issues using regression therapy.

• It assesses skill and knowledge before awarding a certificate or diploma.

• It indicates its theory curriculum and mandatory reading.

• It has a code of ethics for their students to follow.

• It has a system for student feedback and can demonstrate this.

• It indicates the education and experience of their teachers as therapists and as teachers.

• It records student admission, student progress and student graduations.

It is possible, and our Articles of Association oblige us in a way, that we will also organize in the future independent certification, both of members and of training programs. This means there will be an independent certification institute, almost for sure a foundation. And the certification will be based not only on material provided by the schools themselves, but also on visiting the school: an audit.

The recognized schools will be asked to contribute to how this certification should be organized. So you can influence that also, if you are interested in it, and if you are in.

Leaders of recognized schools will also be invited to share ideas, experiences and problems in teaching and training regression therapy. The first of such meetings has taken place at the Annual Convention 2009. We are planmning to have again a day-long meeting at the Annual Convention of 2010.
