PERSONAL PROCESS REQUIREMENTS
In order to enhance the student’s personal development and to safeguard their emotional health throughout their
training, it is a School policy that Brennan Healing Science Professional Studies diploma students and Bachelor of
Science in Brennan Healing Science degree students have a total of 18 Personal Process sessions evenly spaced between
September and the day before the last class in June. Sessions such as couples therapy, massage, acupuncture and
meditation do not fulfill this requirement.
Brennan Integration Work (BIW) meets the personal process requirement. BIW enhances a student’s personal process
with bodywork, energy work, and psycho-dynamic work. The Brennan Integration Practitioner (BIP) works in
conjunction with the student’s needs during each year of study. Each BIP is a skilled professional who has successfully
completed several years of advanced training at BBSH. All those qualified to offer BIW are listed in the most current
edition of the Directory of Brennan Integration Practitioners on the school website.
Students can also fulfill their Personal Process requirements by working with a therapist, or by combining their
personal support with both a therapist and a BIP. For students who choose to work with a therapist, the therapist must
be a psychiatrist or someone who has a professional degree, such as an M.S.W. or Ph.D. in clinical psychology or
counseling psychology, or who is a graduate of an institution such as The Core Energetics Institute or The Bioenergetic
Institute. (See the list of acceptable credentials on the next page.) In other words, therapy is required from a fully
qualified person whose credentials are recognized and approved by BBSH.
Personal Process must be kept up during the year to remain in the Program. The School reserves the right to dismiss
any student who does not adhere to the Personal Process requirement. A total of at least 18 sessions must be completed
each school year in order to register for the following year.
These sessions must be kept up with Resident Training classes as follows:
6 sessions by Class 2
+ 4 sessions by Class 3
+ 8 sessions by Class 5
18 sessions total
