The Process of Being A Helper Is One Of Guiding

Find A Helper

 

You can’t do it alone. No matter how much insight you may gain from reading the Lectures, we have found that a partnership with another person who can help you see your faults and your beauty is essential. That person is the Pathwork Helper.

A Pathwork Helper is someone who has successfully completed one of many Helpership training programs around the world and is qualified to hold individual sessions, lead groups, hold lecture study, workshops, and/or trainings using the service mark Pathwork® Pathwork Helpers have learned and understood the Pathwork principles put forward in the Guide Lectures. The Pathwork is not therapy, although many issues which we delve into are also the province of therapy. The Pathwork is not recommended for someone with severe mental illness or personality disorders. Our Pathwork rests on a foundation of answering a spiritual call and having the willingness to tackle one’s personal problems in that context.

FAQs about Pathwork Helpers

What is a Pathwork Helper?

A Pathwork® Helper is a worker on the Path who has responded to a calling to serve others on their journey to self-discovery through individual session work, lecture study, workshops, and/or leadership positions within the Pathwork community. A Pathwork Helper has successfully completed a Pathwork Transformation Program, a one-year Teacher Training program, an additional three years of a Helper Training Program, and has apprenticed and assisted in Pathwork programs for at least one year. Additionally, throughout their training and apprenticeship, individual session work is required and all Helpers work under supervision as long as they continue to teach and hold individual sessions.

Do I Need a Helper?

The Pathwork lectures tell us that this work is impossible to do alone. We need the help and support of others. An intellectual understanding of the lectures is just a beginning. For true transformation to take place, we must experience the truth contained in the lecture material at a personal level. Individual session work with Helpers facilitates this process, helping us to see how our own negativity, unresolved childhood issues, and unmet needs are creating disharmony and conflict in our relationships with ourselves, others and with the world.

How Do I Find a Helper?

Simply click on Helpers • NYPathwork.org or Helpers in Pittsburgh and Surrounding Areas to access a list of all Helpers in the region.

How Do I Choose a Helper?

Request an interview with any Helper(s) to determine your level of trust and comfort. Ideally, you would want to pick a Helper with whom you can have in-person sessions. However, many workers have sessions with their Helpers via phone and/or internet videos such as Skype or Zoom.

How Often Would I Meet with my Helper?

The frequency of Helper sessions is something you would want to discuss with the Helper(s) during the interview process. A session is typically 50 minutes in duration. However, lengthier sessions may be requested. Students in advanced training meet with a Helper twice a month, and Helpers themselves meet with their own Helpers twice a month.

How Expensive are Helper Sessions?

Helper session fees vary depending on the experience and background of the Helper. Costs vary so be sure to inquire as to the fees during your interview with a potential Helper.
