Paula Oleska
What works and what doesn't work in people’s lives is a result of how their brains are organized. Childhood conditioning, old habits and stressful situations "switch off" many parts of the brain. That makes people disorganized, forgetful, anxious, irritable, depressed, helpless, etc. Brain Upgrade® is a proprietary system that applies the most up-to-date neuroscience in a practical way to “switch on” the brain and create coherence in an exceptionally rapid way. When brains are more coherent, undesirable emotional states, attitudes and beliefs disappear. These undesirable states are locked into people’s bodies, posture, and muscle patterns. We tap into this "brain-body connection" with targeted activities to create a shortcut to amazing changes on all levels: mental, physical, emotional and spiritual. Paula Oleska, M.A., has been integrating brains for over 20 years. She offers professional training to individuals who are interested in including Brain Upgrade in their practice.

David Treadway
David Treadway and his family, Kate, Michael and Sam have written a book together about their experience dealing with David's life threatening cancer. Home Before Dark: A Family Portrait of Cancer recounts our experience as we tried to find new ways of holding each other and sharing our fears and frustrations while trying to stay connected. Our book is ultimately not about cancer or death. It's about living as well as one can with the sharp, sudden awareness of an everyday fact: we are all on borrowed time. Ours is not a unique story. It is the human condition, simply intensified by circumstance. We all live on the knife's edge. This is our family's experience of it.

Barry Duncan
The Heart and Soul of Change Project (HSCP) is a practice-driven, training and research initiative that focuses on what works in therapy, and more importantly, how to deliver it on the front lines via client based outcome feedback. Embracing the values of social justice and an expectation that recovery is possible for everyone, HSCP is about making you better at what you do for the very reason you became a helper to begin with-to make a meaningful difference in as many lives as possible. The strength of what the client brings to the change process and the impact of the alliance inspired Barry Duncan, the director of HSCP to name the popular book about the common factors as well as this Project-the client is the Heart and the alliance is the Soul of therapeutic transformation. Systematic feedback allows both to be empowered for maximum client benefit.
