for Psychologists by NJPA / APA*
Workshop Overview
Heart Assisted Therapy® (HAT®) is an integrative, humanistic, and mindfulness
enhancing approach to psychotherapy. This holistic mind/body model incorporates the
use of heart influence, cognition, emotion, sensation, and a stabilizing breathing
treatment while overlapping hands are placed over the heart (“heart-breaths”). In
psychotherapy HAT is a treatment-focused model that uses “Awareness Streaming” in
concert with the body’s innate electro-physiology and respiration throughout the process.
This treatment modality is designed to complement your existing skills and orientation as
a psychotherapist. Elements of many psychotherapy approaches Dr. Diepold learned
throughout his 30+ years of working as a licensed psychologist come together in this
model including psychoanalytic approaches, Carl Roger’s client-centered approach,
Ericksonian hypnosis, cognitive, behavioral, and somatic approaches, EMDR,
mindfulness approaches, thought field therapies, in addition to his 9 years of learning
from using the evolving model of HAT.
The HAT approach is designed to address the individual and his or her unique
experiences and associations relative to the treatment issue. Specifically, the individual is
not made to fit into a technique per se, nor is the therapist required to figure out a
solution. As you will learn from a therapist’s perspective, “There’s no need to figure it
out…just let it play out.” The important and interesting role of mind-body polarity (i.e.,
our body’s electro-magnetic physiology) has become an essential feature to facilitate
successful change in the psychotherapy process and is built into this HAT model.
Identifying and clarifying the most appropriate Treatment Focus (TF) is an important
skill to develop and will be emphasized. Likewise, the monitoring and use of “heart
breaths” is designed to maintain an open mind-body polarity gateway and is an important
component when using this HAT psychotherapy model.
HAT is a gentle, user and practitioner-friendly approach that is easy to engage and
designed to maximize your therapeutic skills in listening, observing, and planning while
integrating procedures that enable the possibility for the individual to be validated, and to
heal, shift, adapt, and move forward in life.
HAT has been used to successfully treat a wide variety of psychological
conditions including trauma/PTSD, anxiety/phobia, depression, loss/grieving, sport and
performance issues, self-regulation issues, anger/stress management, and pain
management. Each workshop day will incorporate didactic, observational, and
experiential learning to prepare for immediate application in your clinical practice.
