With over ten percent of the US population over the age of six on some form of antidepressant medication a straight forward solution for the challenges of our behavioral health system is imperative. This can only be done with a fundamental outline of what needs to be addressed and then a solution for each of these issues. Following is a concise outline of these challenges and the evidence-based Subconscious Restructuring® solution.

Behavioral Health Challenges

Standardization: The range of guidelines for behavioral health published at different times, in different countries, for different constituencies, with different methodologies, and potentially deriving different clinical recommendations can make it extremely difficult if not impossible for counselors and clinicians to determine which of these guidelines’ recommendations best apply to them in their clinical work.

Evidence-Based Data: Current methodologies generate observational, subjective data from the clinician. The primary measurement needs to be focused questions in regard to the emotional state of the client and this data needs to come directly from the client.

Speed of Deployment: The translation of research into clinical practice is to slow. Once an evidence-based process is established, the speed at which it can be deployed and immediately utilized is of critical importance.

Treatment Stigma: The stigma associated with psychotherapy and the contraindications of psychopharmacological treatment creates a significant reluctance to treatment by most people.

Remote Implementation & Management: In a corporate or military environment oversight may need to be managed from a central location anywhere in the world.

The Evidence-Based Subconscious Restructuring® Solution

Standardization: SR® provides a step by step process which maintains focused, structured, guidelines among all counselors, coaches, and psychiatrists. This ensures a consistently effective and measurable treatment.

Evidence-Based Data: SR® is based on three time proven instruments. The first is an “Emotional Checklist” the second a “Behavior Control Checklist” and third a “Relationship Satisfaction Scale.” Depression, fear, guilt, anger, motivation, and suicidal thoughts and more are all measured within these three instruments. All data from these three instruments is generated by the client and progress is calculated automatically at every session when the SR® online component is used.

Speed of Deployment: Certification in the SR® process can be done in five days and as quickly as two days. A newly certified SR® Counselor will complete their certification and be ready to deploy SR® as soon as their first before and after data with a client is generated and approved. Key personnel within the corporate or military environment who become Master SR® Certified will be able to perpetuate the administration and certification of the SR® Process on a continuing basis.

Treatment Stigma: All students, employees or soldiers, healthy included, may be monitored without actively seeking help with the standardized 22 point questionnaire of SR®. This means SR® could be implemented from age 7 forward as a preventive measure. The online SR® component allows for discrete counseling from any location.

Remote Implementation & Management: The SR® online component facilitates global management of SR® Certifications, individual or group counseling, and private communication between counselor and client. A single SR® Supervisor may monitor the effectiveness of SR® Counselors in multiple locations.
