Healing Learning Disabilities
Jaqueline Lapa Sussman
Learning disabilities are inhibited learning potentials frozen in children, caused by negative social interactions in early critical learning. Kids with learning disabilities are often highly intelligent children who absorb life's stresses at a deep level and, because of their acute sensitivity, are easily traumatized. Learning disabilities can be treated and cured--completely reversed--without using drugs (Ritalin) or any medication, but by using the creative imagination. Eidetic Image Therapy is a school of psychology that treats mental and emotional problems using a special kind of mental image called an Eidetic. Using Eidetics, the exact root cause of the disability can be systematically identified and, through imagery methods, the part of the brain where the disability is neurologically located can release--allowing one's unique learning potentials to flow again. Eidetics was founded by Dr. Akhter Ahsen, Ph.D., whose work Joseph Campbell described as "indelible" and "life-structuring." This highly experiential workshop--for parents, educators, people with learning disabilities, therapists--will show you how to find the root causes of learning disabilities and how to overcome them.

Your Choice in Healing Learning Disabilities" and "The Plight of the Parent with a Learning-Disabled Child."
