Emotional Release Therapy - Los Angeles, California

I have known Richard now for close to fifteen years, and I can honestly say that I have never met anyone who is a more feeling person or who has a greater affinity for feelings. Richard is a virtuoso in the art of feelings.

I would whole-hearted recommend him to anyone who is thinking about exploring feelings. You could not find a safer, more gentle, compassionate and understanding facilitator.

Richard will meet you where you are at and take you wherever you need to go.

After three or four sessions with Richard, I learned how to feel my feelings. I used to push them away instead of feeling them.

One day when a friend called me and said something so hurtful to me, I didn't know what to do. Then I remembered what Richard had suggested during a session, that it was okay to feel my feelings.

At that moment I was so sad and had so much pain, I went to my room, closed the door, and began to cry. My Mom knocked on the door and asked if I needed to talk and I replied "No, I just need to be alone and feel.” I stayed in my room for 40 minutes. When I came out, I felt really good that I had let out all the sadness and pain.

Richard taught me how to accept my feelings by feeling them.

I had tried Primal Therapy in the early 70s. It did help in certain ways in that I was able to cry for the first time in years, and feel some of the grief I had buried. I stopped doing the therapy because it seemed like hard, difficult work, and I could only take so much before I had to give it up. I also had the feeling I wasn't doing it right or the way the therapist seemed to want me to do it.

I hadn't done any of it until recently when I started again with Richard. After only a few sessions, I noticed a big difference. His method made the whole process seem so much easier and attractive to keep doing, like it was something I could do easily. I noticed many benefits right away, which made me feel like I was doing well at it. One of the benefits I saw was that I became much more open to spiritual experiences and was able to take them in more. It gave me a whole new outlook toward this type of work.
