RELEASING YOUR EMPOWERED SELF
Rick & Rosalie Malter

Transpersonal Therapists Rick Malter, Ph.D. and Rosalie Malter, M.A., co-authors of Shrinking the Judge, Freeing the Inner Child will lead an experiential weekend workshop on Releasing your Empowered Self, February 9 and 10, 2002 (Saturday 10 am - 5 pm, Sunday 10 am - 1 pm).  The workshop will show participants how to use art and imagery to confront and shrink the inner psychological power of the Judge.  The fee is $95.  For reservations call 928-649-9343. 

There is also a free introductory lecture Friday Feb 8, 7:30 - 9:30 pm, where  Rick and Rosalie will discuss the role of the Judge in everyone’s personality and how it can dominate our Inner Child, stirring up intensive negative feelings as if we are still a vulnerable little child.

The Judge

The Judge is the negative and destructive part of our personality that judges and criticizes whatever we do.  This inner Judge is inherent in our human nature and the manner in which our minds and bodies are connected by means of the stress response.  When the Judge becomes activated under stress, it exerts its
psychological power and control by threatening our Inner Child, causing us much pain, anguish, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression.  In this way the Judge keeps us from knowing our inner power and developing our full potential.

Although we all have this destructive Judge as part of us, we can learn to become aware of its presence and to reduce its destructive power and control over our lives.  When we become aware of our Judge, we can learn to confront it and shrink it so that it loses its power and control over our lives.  Then our true inner power (the Empowered Self) can emerge and lead us to a life of greater joy, self-confidence, and spiritual fulfillment.

Rick and Rosalie Malter 

Beginning in 1979, Rosalie and Rick Malter were founders and co-directors of the Malter Institute for Natural Development (M.I.N.D.), a group psychotherapy and counseling practice in Chicago, Illinois.  They have been creative and innovative therapists using combinations of gestalt, art therapy, transactional analysis (TA), drama and intuition in guiding people to release emotional blocks.  Though no longer in private psychotherapy practice, the Malters continue to present seminars and workshops on “Releasing Your Empowered Self” in Arizona and around the USA.  In their workshops, participants learn to release emotional blocks and to feel more empowered to develop their full potential on all levels – body, mind, and spirit.
