"Knowing yourself means knowing the Dreaming from which problems and symptoms arise. In that world, there is less pressure from human or social behaviour; you are closer to nature, to existence as it is."
Dr. Arnold Mindell founder of Process Oriented Psychology
"Conor has written an wondrous, awesome, almost poetic account mixing reality, dreaming and the dreambody nature of physical symptoms."

Process Work has its roots in:
- The teleological approach found in the work of Carl Jung
- Communication theory's use of signals
- The dreaming wisdom of shamanism and indigenous peoples
- The moment to moment awareness and non-judgmental approach of Taoism
- The principles of quantum physics that reveal the web of interconnectedness of all things in the universe
As psychotherapists and group facilitators our task is to follow the unique flow of the process as it emerges in individuals and groups, believing that what happens is meaningful and an aspect of nature. We value the unique experience of each individual, couple, family, or group and bring a curiosity, warmth and attention to help deepen processes. People discover that working with what is most disturbing and marginalized often brings surprising solutions and new insight. Suddenly what has felt most oppressive, frightening or problematic becomes enlivening, creative and inspiring.
Process Work includes working with:
- Dreams
- Body experiences
- Symptoms and illness
- Relationships
- Extreme states of consciousness (psychiatric states)
- Altered states of consciousness such as depression, anxiety, compulsions, anger, difficult moods and more
- Addictions
- Coma and near death experiences
- Multi-cultural and diversity issues
- Organisations, development and change
Process Work, when applied to multi-cultural group and organizational situations is called Worldwork.
