I have had an opportunity to work with Paula Shaw for the last two years. Paula's empathetic, intuitive nature along with her unique approach to grief resolution creates a powerful treatment modality successfully moving the patient through a sense of profound loss, toward understanding, acceptance and resolution. Many patients experience a sense of grief as they enter into a new phase of life such as menopause. With Paula's assistance, regret, remorse and sadness transform into a state of empowerment.

Paula Shaw, certified grief specialist, provides a roadmap, a three-step process that leads clients from the tears to the turning point of overcoming the paralysis, hopelessness, and despair of loss, to the triumph of finding a window to living life again. Paula Shaw uses a simple metaphor to frame a complex set of emotions in a way that is understandable and solvable. She draws on the processes that have come to be known under the umbrella term, Energy Psychology, to help us all move the stagnant energy that can come from unrecognized grief into the active energy of life.

My mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer when I was pregnant with my first child and she died six weeks after my son was born. I completely fell apart and was overwhelmed with grief. Like Humpty Dumpty, I fell off the wall and, piece by piece, Paula Shaw put me back together again. She is gifted and skilled, truly outstanding in guiding people in how to recover from grief. I credit her with helping me let go of the sadness and find the joy in life again.

My work with Paula Shaw has been amazing. I was bed-ridded with grief over a break-up with a man I had loved for quite some time. In two sessions with Paula, the energy work we did had an unbelievable effect. I don't even think about him anymore. I am not even the same person. My attitude is unbelievably positive, all kinds of good things are happening because of it. I've already gone on a couple of dates and enjoyed them. I don't know; everything's changed. Something, unleashed something really, really positive in me. I am strong, I'm working on my business plan; it's as though I am someone else! Those 2 sessions changed my world they cleaned up the loss and everything else that was bothering me. I don't even talk like the same person! What a change, what a positive feeling...Thank you. I am truly free of my grief...

Paula Shaw is absolutely remarkable in her ability to transform one's perspective and energy. I needed to break the pattern of negative thoughts that had resulted from my grief over some large business decisions that went awry. However, I was extremely skeptical about the concept of working with an Energy Psychology counselor. Within 30 minutes of meeting her, Paula had transformed my skepticism into enthusiasm for working with her. She gave me simple, practical tools to help me focus and replace the negative thoughts with positive thinking. Paula helped me assess what I wanted and how to best achieve that in a way that was very workable for my style of thinking. She helped me identify what I am good at and what makes me motivated. Through this approach Paula helped me achieve an incredible epiphany which set me on the path for a new business that I am very excited about. In 4 sessions with Paula, I feel I transformed and achieved a sense of renewed energy, purpose and joy! Paula Shaw is truly gifted and I will recommend her to anyone.

Dear Paula,

Just an update on my coffee addiction. Since the session that you and I had in February 2008, I have remained completely non-addicted to coffee, and here we are in late September!!! I am thrilled, after having quit coffee at least 50 times unsuccessfully. I have only had three or four cups since February, usually in a social situation. I have absolutely no cravings. I can even keep it in the house available for guests without feeling tempted.

Thanks so much for helping me with that.

Paula,

I am writing to thank you for helping me to completely resolve my craving for coffee. After the first treatment, my craving was down to 2 or 3, and after the second treatment I was completely free of any craving at all. I had a cup of coffee once since then, but not because I craved it, just because I chose to have one. I was a little curious about how I would feel when preparing it and drinking it, and I am very happy to report that no cravings of any kind, no emotional response of any kind, was evident.

This is the first time in 20 years that I have successfully quit coffee with no cravings, and no fear that I will return to the addiction.

Thank you so much for your help.

I truly believe that Paula Shaw has revolutionized traditional therapy. Her techniques have allowed me to heal physically, mentally and emotionally. I spent many years reading self-help books, working with a life coach as well as attending several empowerment seminars and none of them was effective in getting to the root of my personal inner dialog which was sabotaging my life and well being. With Paula I've not only identified those internal negative beliefs but efficiently healed from them, something other therapies fail to complete. I am finally able to live the life I knew was possible, filled with purpose, joy and abundance. Paula is a true treasure and I feel sublimely blessed to have her in my life.

I wanted to let you know that I have had a remarkable breakthrough. Last year, I began working with Paula Shaw, a pioneer in the emerging field of Energy Psychology. Paula uses various modalities including kinesiology, to excavate and clear self-destructive beliefs from the subconscious mind. Then she helps the client re-pattern their beliefs by imbedding positive new beliefs in the subconscious mind. For me, this has been nothing short of miraculous.

Hi Paula

Thank you again for always being so gracious and incredibly helpful when it comes to healing and maintaining positive energy work. I am so indebted to you for all of your help. Most of all, as I have mentioned to you many times, I relish in the tools you provide that allow me to continue the work we do together at home. It is truly a life saver and has helped me on so many occasions to know I can refer to these tools and restore overall well being.

Love,
Angela Hopf

Dear Paula

The results I have experienced since working with you can only be described as miraculous! For years, I have been a spiritual seeker. I have studied and actively applied the laws of creation. I have faithfully written intention statements, and recited affirmations, only to be disappointed.

Until I began working with you, I was unaware of the magnitude and power of the unconscious programming that continually sabotaged my life. Your unique and transformational approach helped me to re-pattern my subconscious mind. And your IMPRINT 24-7 labels, which I apply each day, energetically affirm my new beliefs.

Since working with you, my life has completely changed. Professionally, I am attracting many new and exciting opportunities. Personally, I have met the man of my dreams. Thank you for being an amazing therapist, teacher and change agent.

With deep appreciation and gratitude.

I find Paula Shaw's CHART an incredibly powerful tool for personal growth. She blends and integrates therapies into a user-friendly system. It has helped me immensely during a most difficult time in my life.

I feel that there is a hunger and need for such a system in the 21st century. Paula seems intent on empowering individuals and therapists to use this system on their own, as soon as possible, rather than keeping it for her glory.

CHART empowers us. We take it and are moved from glory to glory, more perfect in our acceptance of our imperfections.

Paula Shaw has been my therapist and guide for the past six years and has helped me through several painful losses. Now, it is exciting and rewarding to work with her through the many restrictive and energy-blocking experiences of my lifetime. Paula is warm and loving -- and the best therapist I have ever been involved with. The energy work she is doing through CHART is constantly amazing, creative and healing. What made such a difference was finding the all-important key of working with my Inner Child who was severely damaged, and my Inner Adolescent, who was painfully shy with no self-confidence. We have cleared several life-long issues, including Depression, in a rapid, relatively easy process.

I wish Paula and her work had been available to me earlier in my life. I now feel so empowered to handle whatever life holds for me, including my agoraphobia, on which we have made great strides. Today I take myself most places alone and have even taken flying lessons! I am so grateful to Paula for assisting me to energize my remaining years.

Gratefully,
Eva Trapani

About two years ago I was diagnosed with Vitiligo, a somewhat rare skin disease which causes the skin to form very noticeable white patches. There is no cure, only treatments. I tried several of them. My doctors thought it might be stress related. Then Paula introduced me to CHART therapy. Being a "western medicine" person, I was reluctant. It turns out that my inner child needed a lot of attention that he didn't get during my childhood. By getting in touch with him, as well as my adolescent and adult, I have been able to nearly eliminate the Vitiligo. I feel better about myself and my life in general. I am a believer. This stuff is amazing!

I had experienced chronic hip pain that interferred with my activities as well as sleep for years. X-Rays revealed bilateral calcific bursitis. Chiropractic and acupuncture treatments helped, but the pain persisted. I began working with Paula, and after clearing the emotions that expressed in my body as hip pain, the pain resolved and has never returned! As a chiropractor I have always been aware of the body/mind relationship but had never experienced a technique that appears to be so simple yet so profoundly powerful. Paula incorporates diverse healing modalities and synthesizes them into her own unique healing system, a system that very effectively addresses the unique emotional expression into the physical that is a natural process in us all. Her system not only brings these emotional connections to awareness but transforms and resolves them. I am very grateful to her for her invaluable assistance in my own healing process.

Sincerely,

I have worked extensively with Paula Shaw on various issues in my life, using her techniques from The Conscious Healing and Repatterning Therapy (CHART). After many years of traditional psychotherapy, I found this new technique to be extremely helpful in quickly identifying underlying issues and immediately giving me tools to work with on an ongoing basis to cut through and resolve these issues. I have been amazed at how effective this technique is. After suffering from periodic hip and knee pain for over a year and a half, Paula helped me identify the true emotional source of that pain, and shortly after beginning to use the tools she gave me, the pain began to subside and heal for the first time. I have even used this technique to get relief from life-long allergy problems as well.

I have told many family members, friends and clients about Paula and her work. Those that have followed through have nothing but wonderful success stories to share. I wish everyone could experience her work. It is truly life changing.

Yours truly,
Estelle J. Underwood

Dear Paula,

I want to thank you for introducing me to CHART energy techniques during the course of my therapy. I find that it has been extremely effective in a number of issues that I have been dealing with over a long period of time. As you know, I am very open to working in any way that reaches into my subconscious to change the belief systems that have become cemented and perpetuated over my lifetime. I am an artist, and intellectual and a college professor and because of the kind of individual personality I have developed in these fields, it is very difficult for me to submit to intellectually to any therapeutic system that pathologizes my emotional responses. I am personally sensitive and acutely aware of my feelings. I am not blocked emotionally. My particular issues have had more to do with needing to develop self-esteem in all its fundamental spheres. I have achieved success in my life thus far by proceeding with the force of my will, while dragging along the frightened, anxious, and grieving parts of my personality. Even though my ability to analyze and understand is quite developed and my access to my sensitivities is immediate, I am still plagued by many of the same issues that have always held me back. I have found that understanding is not the key to change, and that going around the conscious mind is the only way I have been able to integrate personal growth and change.

Through the muscle checking techniques that we have been using in sessions, I find that we are able to get to the root of my subconscious beliefs. Through an individual language and program, we have constructed a tool for prying open and changing the historical and current issues that are preventing me from living life as fully as I would wish. During the time we have been doing this work I have expanded and learned to accept the strength of my personal vision. I have thus increased my visibility as an artist. I have developed the strength to promote and share my work with a wide audience. I find making the artwork more satisfying, and I feel less bitter about the ups and downs of my career. I have traveled from Canada to Austria, met with new people, introduced them to my work and have had very positive responses. I have also learned to enjoy others' appreciation of the work. These are real accomplished successes from the work we have been doing. Most recently, I quit drinking with the help of one of those chakra-tapping techniques that I resist. In fact, I believe I have said that I hate them the most. But right now I am so happy about my progress in that area that I will keep tapping.

Anyway, you are welcome to share this letter with your colleagues. I believe you only asked me for a few lines, but then it would be uncharacteristic of me to be brief.

Yours in appreciation,
Kaucyila Brooke
