How the PHIP Program Works

Learning is not new information; it is ‘new action.’ One knows they have ‘learned’ something when one can produce a desired result.

Everyone lives in patterns that happen over and over again. On one hand, we cannot exist without these habits of living. On the other hand, some of our habits lead to upset and discomfort which affects our bodies. Our personal history, experiences, and responses shape our lives and color our perspectives and value systems.

The PHIP learning experience is designed to help participants to become better observers of their habits, to be aware of their habits and responses at the time they are happening – when they can do something different – and to respond with the ‘new actions’ that produce more healthy and positive results. The PHIP program will help participants to design new behaviors. The new or different behaviors or responses – if successfully practiced – can become new habits; habits that are effective and produce satisfaction instead of one those that produce and are associated with suffering.

  • Reading and home learning
  • Study partner exercises – to provide a different set of eyes and ears on the issues that the participant is struggling with
  • Builds satisfaction through a system that increases participants’ awareness of times in which the body is ‘triggered’ in response to recurring events beyond their control
