Healing is the middle
.
The actual beginning of becoming who you really are. It is about choice and willingness, not transformation without change or effort.
Healing outcomes were validated by eyewitnesses and reluctant professionals anciently but today they are doubted and dismissed by secular experts in favor of “partial recovery”, tolerance, and hopelessly “hanging in there” with no end of pain in sight.
Even religious mental health professionals’ trend to secularism, though one of the very best scientific outcome evidence statistics among many, is the rising VA suicide rates regardless of which treatment is applied.
The Quiet Revolt Against Secular Mental Health Care
Licensed Clinical Social Worker Tracy K. Cassity Releases Groundbreaking Book on Mental Health Remission Through Trauma Conversion Therapy

A few years back I made an inquiry at several large newspapers on a story I thought they’d like and immediately got calls from reporters at the LA Times and Wall Street Journal, who’d already pitched the story to their editors. It was amazing but difficult to represent all of the spiritual components and outcomes–mostly because I wasn’t aware of how deeply person gain and reputation are instilled as a professional perk.
I don’t think approaching large government, church, corporate entities, or professionals directly with TCT will open this discussion more than make it a political football. I’m grateful for the undercurrent of thoughtful discussion and sharing, for those who emailed to say thank you and others who mentioned that they were thinking of returning to practicing again.
Please don’t approach anyone at church or at church activities.
But If you have contacts that you trust, acquaintances doing podcasts, or podcasters you like, in general media, university editorial staffs, PBS, local news stations, papers, business groups, reading clubs, good. They may be good places to send one of the links along with a personal note if you feel so inclined.
Conversations with folks who start out skeptical, generally think I’m selling a book, my own services, or trying to make a splash claiming one-size-fits-all therapy. With friendly skeptics I generally shrug and say, “Well, you’re in it. You should probably buy the book and defend yourself.”
The truth is, I did the same thing everywhere I worked according to my highly trained secular bias. A friend and I integrated TCT into our practices over several years, not all at once. It took a while to realize we didn’t need all the other stuff.
True science, principles, faith, and agency are one-size-fits-all. Always those who have called are glad to feel a kindred spirit. Always they have a tale to tell or a loved one that has been hurt, disappointed, or run over by the mental health system. I’ve gotten a free lunch as often as I’ve bought lunch, and we laugh a lot, just as I did with so many clients.
We were trained as professionals to sell professionalism. The honest truth is that divine relationship and capacity do not need to be marketed. This is going to come forward anyway, so I’ll mention it now so that it can be thought weighed. Operating under secular bias is blinding. We can train missionaries to heal missionaries, and chaplains and veterans to heal veterans. We can do that for a fraction of the costs related to sending missionaries home early for mental health reasons or the $22 billion the VA spent last year on veteran suicides. Neither group will need fear the loss of lifelong disability benefits or moving on with their lives without a diagnosis to explain the pain they were in. That starts here.
I think this is a great story, and expect we’ll be getting calls back from others similarly indoctrinated, all of whom will have a tale to tell and be wondering if we can help. I think we can.
Secular mental health care or “best practices” are considered the highest professional standard and safest care. Secular means separate from religious or spiritual influence. Secular mental health business models depend on easy, moderate, or severe levels of care taking specific time and resources to produce at least minimumally acceptably stable behavior.
Best practices’ primary measure of successful care is ‘time in treatment’ for easy, moderate, or severe diagnoses. Most care-givers and metrics do not expect remission or last results beyond six months and for legal or insurance reasons generally don’t project stability beyond a six-month marker. The industry-wide expectation is that clients will generally return for more care with the same basic concerns or issues having escallated for different reasons. Remission is not a typical or widely achieved mental health outcome.
The “proven pathway” referenced above is an internal spiritual compass that is part of every person’s inherent ability to heal; an internal guide moving toward or away from perceived acceptance and safety.
I trained and practiced with the finest best practices and achieved roughly on par with most other professionals. A colleague and I trained in TCT with Patrick Poor who developed TCT, then practiced TCT with each other to learn experientially, then integrated TCT into our best practices as we knew them.
In 2019, I was mandated to use the OQA measures for all my clients. As we began to use the same measures, neither of us noticed that we were separately accumulating a large body of remission outcomes. We did notice individually that TCT resulted in startling sub-clinical results, rapidly, and during a consultation one day Patrick confessed his biggest problem: he was always running out of clients.
That’s what happened while developing TCT and why other practitioners sent their most difficult cases and clients to him. TCT worked rapidly and consistently. He never claimed remission outcomes, his clients just got better and no longer needed him. The real goal in treatment is that your clients heal, no longer need treatment, and use their own internal compass to learn and grow experientially along their own chosen path in a difficult but also amazing world.
Remission outcomes seem nearly too good to be true, as did healing, miracles, and casting out demons approximately 2000 years ago. Both were resisted by secular authorities mingling philosophies and science with scripture in a similarly confusing bid for professional standing and control. To practice professionally Patrick was forced to work within accepted secular science, bias, and language.
That the best of experts sent their most difficult diagnoses and nearly untreatable client failures to him is something to consider since those same experts are still not able to help clients in those same categories and unending care remit consistently, rapidly and completely.
If the last decade has taught mental health anything, it may be that people rarely change unwillingly or while still in pain. Reviews of both religiously accommodated and secular therapy suggest minimal benefits for patients or therapists who are forced into uniform behavioral orthodoxy. Secular bias in mental illness is not a topic in easily accessible public health literature, nor simple to identify, but it is addressed aptly in Cassity’s book. “Clinical terms are intentionally difficult to grasp. Jaded professionalism overwhelms evidence-based populations and theories alike,” he notes. “Pain is an internal warning system that says something is amiss. Removing the sliver initiates healing from within. Change the pain, and everything changes.” That gap doesn’t automatically mean either secular bias or spiritual nature constitute genuine science or genuine faith; it does mean readers should consider which authority to follow, rather than blindly following along.
Freud’s clients never achieved remission. No professional or institution in the world has a large body of remission outcomes. Healing and moving on with life have always been within the domain of religious consideration. Formal peer review under secular bias refutes the notion of objectivity. Peer consensus might as easily conclude that Earth is still the center of the universe. Cassity’s data is historical, objective, and embedded within a widely respected institution. No one else in the world has a large body of replicated remission outcomes. Having uniformly dismissed the key spiritual and scientific possibilities of secular bias, every mental health professional is out of scope by professional mandate.
For readers drawn to Cassity and Poor’s work, the most encouraging takeaway may not be a guarantee, but instead permission to invite the professionals to bring anything that produces better outcomes to the table. “Difficult to treat”, “treatment-resistant”, or “malingering”, as widely used in settings like the VA,” he says, “are more often a result of a client having believed, tried, and failed to make miserably poor therapy work. It’s easy to fall into cynicism with experts. It’s a point where one’s spirit pushes back in dismay and distress against subversion of truth, not a verdict on a person’s capacity to recover.”
I was a single practitioner office in the mental health arm of a religious organization that practices at the highest levels of professionalism in mental health. For the three years studied, 2020 to 2023, very few missionary clients returned home for emergency mental health reasons even though it was during a worldwide pandemic.
Working there, or anywhere ever I worked, I would have been fired for using the word “healing” or even its secular equivalent “remission” due to the liability associated with even the very best practices and evidence-based treatments. So, I used the word “corrected” as in “I corrected a client with a history of bipolar disorder.”
The trouble was that I added “… in forty-five minutes,” and later, “… in three sessions.” Or “… one” or six or twelve depending. Whether active suicidal process, Bipolar or PTSD, there was no lasting correction or remission in any secular records anywhere in the mental health domains–and making such a claim out as a “healing miracle” was blasphemy even to my own somewhat Freudian or secularly trained and therefore deluded mind.
Secular bias in science or in religion is by definition unscientific and irreligious. Therefore I leave it for non-professional readers to decide for themselves. After I left that position, did any of my professional colleagues in that or any institution do any better? Are there any remission outcomes to present for any of the diagnoses, or any levels of severity or are we back to referring difficulty out, calling malingering, or telling people they are irreparably broken?
The hard evidence is always in sight: Astronomical budgets, waiting lists, and disenfranchised populations across the globe shout that all mental health treatments work at approximately the same level of general success or failure as the others. Recovery is not expected. Failure or well-intended excuses for poor performance are the norm.
Faith-based professionals borrowing status from degrees, credentials, and adding a hopeful scripture here and there to make the darkness, desperation,and poor treatment outcomes more professionally palatable; sounding a little more scientific as if all that could be done was done.
Secularism is just another theory with no evidence of superior outcomes, yet it prevails nation and worldwide. With no treatment outcomes ever rising above the rest; is a professional consensus that there is little to be done a genuine profession measure or merely an excuse. Do we teach tolerating, prescription refills, self-medicating, or taking a deep dive into distraction as a appropriate best practices standard?
Why do educators, civic leaders, and mental health authorities worldwide continue to coin this or that clientele especially “difficult to treat” or blame practitioners when no best practice mental health treatment has done substantially better than any other for a hundred years?
More time in treatment is almost universally the answer when clients fail to progress. So, it is significant that the pathway out of darkness and despair referenced above isn’t TCT but instead, an internal spiritual compass within each person that indicates whether the direction they are traveling is a good one.
Best practices evidence based care is divided into easy, moderate, and severe difficultly, diagnoses measured in time, or time in treatment.
Written for non-professionals looking for hope, healing, and a pathway out of dark despair, Extraordinary Mental Wellness depicts dual nature as a reality of science to be equally considered by one and all. The developer of the Trauma Conversion Therapy (TCT), Patrick Poor, could be coined the Mother Theresa of Mental Health, perhaps the greatest mental health practitioner in the world, has corrected all clients to remission for 32 years, yet he and his method remains virtually unknown.
We added TCT in along a secular path, gradually overcoming our own disbelief as we went. I expect that’s how it will be for most professionals.
Tracy Cassity’s book on TCT outlines the effect of dual nature consideration on every person’s inherent capacity to heal. One of the largest studies in the last decade, Cassity’s invitation is a classic but moving summons to all professionals to bring better outcomes from any other source or treatment process if there are any. Reminiscent of the Old Testament prophet Elijah’s nearly jovial invitation to the priests of Baal, Extraordinary Mental Wellness is dubious of Freud’s full spectrum of professional and therefore socially elite experts.
He offers raw data and personal stories, citing years of clinically proven remission of all symptoms for all diagnoses. Together their work is attracting the attention of warriors, chaplains, veterans, legislators, gender advocates and detractors, to sit at the same table. Even warring nations and religions who were once brothers and sisters of the same bloodlines needn’t fear. These outcomes are unarguable and come closer to meriting the word “healing” than any professional practice in two thousand years.
“I trust the truths associated with this material and believe nations will literally come to call upon those who host this work from all parts of the world,” Cassity states. Failing personal effort, masses of mental health clients are constricted as to how profoundly antireligion has both created and crippled a trillion-dollar mental health industry.
A strictly secular lens is blinding and has kept clients and professionals from discovering how the scariest theory/diagnosis in mental health is in fact the most benevolent, morally apt, scientifically accurate, and spiritually healing.”
Mental health practices in a worldwide institution trace secularism and antireligious bias to:
1) Professional creation of mental health stigma, touting new and endless diagnoses of disorders and “conditions of illness” rather than genuine expertise, understanding or ability to help and heal.
2) The suppression of amazing cases, stories, and outcome evidence, from the only mental health office in the world that remained open 100% of the time when all other offices were closed, empty of willing clients, and operating at between five and twenty percent of prior capacity for short periods during the Covid-19 pandemic;
3) One office where TCT was offered for all diagnoses; a spiritually friendly theory was equally considered and offered, that resulted in complete remission of all symptoms for all diagnoses, rapidly and lastingly, in each year for three years, 96% (2020), 97% (2021) and 98% (2022) for approximately 300 clients, after which clients were done with treatment and mental health experts altogether.
4) Replicated remission outcomes of care never recorded before now, nor measured against over 500 studies using every other form of treatment; recorded and reported in a respected international institutional evidence base, surpassing all mental health evidence bases for all treatments, for all time.
5) That is unless you include Biblical considerations from 2000 years ago equally, irrespective of mental health canon and considerable administrative efforts to suppress or control the narrative at either end of the 2000 years.
Boyd K Packer once stated, “The study of the doctrines of the gospel will improve behavior quicker than a study of behavior will improve behavior.” These doctrines reflect the Abrahamic covenants associated with Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. No one managed an empirical study of this statement because the notion of scientific externally observed evidence prevails over equal consideration of dual nature in nearly every aspect of worldly society, education, and law.
“As foretold anciently, Freud’s “socially advanced” elite, the sincere, the poor and needy, even the very elect within the many faith-bases, will be deceived. I flatter myself that this is that study and is accomplished now by someone of little noteworthy credential and standing. Antireligion and secular bias are tools associated with a war that began over agency and moral accountability in our premortal state. When we use the adversary’s tools, we do the adversary’s work and lose our ability to learn from the Master Healer.
Best regards.

It’s the end of Mental Health as we know it… Good. I feel fine.
Typical scientific studies, treatment methods, and claims about empirical evidence are theory laced with relative theory more than data, science, or facts relating to real outcomes. Generally, modern mental health in one form or another is about “partial recovery” addressed by more time in treatment.
There are some terrific exceptions: Peggy Pace’s timeline theory, Peme Chodron’s ability to help traumatized people locate and observing of pain in the body, neurolinguistic programming applications (think Tony Robbins). Neurotherapy and RC counseling have powerful effect on current distress when offered carefully. In my opinion each has valid pain reduction or management effects.
Yet on whole, pain at the source remains within while therapeutic debate, regurgetation, kindly or creative suggestions, and cognitive review focuses on tolerating, enduring, numbing, or distracting techniques like endless “processing” or cathartic response proves ineffective for actually removing pain.
Quality of care in mental health practice must be about healing body and spirit or there is only partial and therefore failed recovery.
Recent articles in the news suggest therapists are professionally disallowed, unable to even discuss alternative theories involving the spiritual side of mankind. They even say pointedly, “We’re not even trying to cure anyone,” in order to stay on the professionally favored side of free speech as well as religion, and actually assist clients navigating between identity, belief, a range of “scientific” best practices”.
It’s an interesting admission: Mental Health as a profession isn’t even trying to “cure” anyone. Only create the appearence of an open dialogue.
The law, both broad and narrowly applied at the same time, presumes that the secular theory is the hot point issue of gender, for example. I disagree. The hot point is that constitutional protections extend equal consideration. The means that secularly driven theory and all the medical consensus in the world can’t vote itself into existance. There is no constitutional protection favoring secular bias. And therefor nothing that should allow the damaging notions of external evidence, observation, consensus, and practice to exclude the religious or faith based theories of divine origin and internal spiritual health or injury, as an equal possibility.
Remission is merely science jargon for healing. In my experience, lasting remission is the only scientific metric that matters. If Godly relationship and capacity is equally considered an aspect of true identity it follows that evil influence and false authority will attempt to force and influence you on that same point.
A leader of my faith, Russel M. Nelson taught, “The way you think about who you really are affeccts almost ever decision you will ever make” (“Choices for Eternity”) Basically, they would attempt to confuse you about discerning good and evil, as to the very existance of evil. Mental health professionals are schooled to justify their failure of theory or ability to help by diagnosing conditions or disorders whilch pass your distress off as your own fault, or of some inherited condition you have no control over.
It gets them off the hook and sometimes seems an easier path for you so long as you are trusting in their judgement. It’s not. Pain festers and tolerating festring pain instead of getting rid of it, is often not within their professional lexicon-as much as making it so that you can’t or don’t quesiton their “expertise”, measure or consider the matter equally.
Secular bias consumes equality, treating all diagnoses as medical fact while they are at best theories of illness, demeaning and unequally considered: presumed by consensus with little outcome evidence to support, that can be associated with “cure”, remission, and especially health of body and spirit.
Remission is a “scientific” way of referencing healing since there is a profound secularization in professional circles and education. Renaming seems to diminish Freud’s assignment of delusion to all notions of a spiritual nature. For nearly a hundred years since “delusional” professional skepticism has been in vogue in science, education, business, and nearly all aspects of society.
Not because there is any evidence… at least until now.
“Best Practice” mental health authorities in a worldwide institution watched, questioned, and verified, but could not explain, match, replicate, or surpass the healing capacity of TCT with any other treatment. 20% of one practitioner’s clients healed in a single session, 62% in 4 sessions or less, and 98% in fewer sessions (regardless of diagnosis), than any other treatment for any mental health disorder.
Extraordinary Mental Wellness is about real people with multiple diagnoses, decades of treatment, anorexia, PTSD, divorce, OCD, Bipolar, Depression, Anxiety, Addiction, Abuse, Grief, and even gender questions… who engaged one simple treatment process called Trauma Conversion Therapy (TCT).
They left after only a few sessions with no more symptoms, the root cause of their pain gone, and were done with mental health treatment entirely.
It’s considered a best practice to find consensus among professionals in order to ensure professionalism. Secular consensus ever since Freud gained prominence. As a result, freedom of speech, religion, and moral reasoning are not equally accessed. In the U.S. and most of the world, theories, not evidence, prevail. Whatever the prevailing politics, education, or faith, doctors have the last word on what even seems possible.
Yet, with no fanfare, what has been left out of “best practices” is now rocking the entire mental health industry.
Clients are delighted. Professionals are startled. Buckle up. The ability to heal is built in and for everyone. You’ll laugh and cry at the same time… but only in relief. This book is not only powerful, but also a testament to truth, faith, and the kind of healing so many people are still searching for.

On Conversion: I have to say that those who reserected “conversion” to mean attack on a very disenfranchised and abused community are disengenuous, and a part the deception mentioned above.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual On Mental Disorders (DSM) is a publication of the American Psychiatric Association (APA). In 1933, the APA provided the psychiatric nomenclature for the American Medical Association‘s (AMA) general medical guide, the Standard Classified Nomenclature of Disease, and the DSM was revised to align with it.
The concept of “curing” homosexuality has roots in late 19th and early 20th-century psychiatry and admits to figures like German-Austrian psychiatrist Richard von Krafft-Ebing discussing methods like hypnosis. As the notion of clinical resolve was popularized, the word “conversion” was adopted by professionals to attract religious institutional sponsors. When faced with nearly total clinical failure to achieve results, increasingly threatening diagnostic, behavioral, and psychoanalytic techniques were deployed by practitioners throughout the mid-20th century.
Conversion therapies are not sanctioned by the APA or AMA as we know them today. TCT is entirely unrelated to “sexual conversion therapies”, “conversion therapy” or any aspect of forced behavioral change practiced by affiliated or non-affiliated practitioner’s past or present.
