Hate Campaign

We at Training to Survive are currently subject to a minor email "spam and flame" campaign. This need not concern our clients, it can in no way effect you whatsoever. The pests who are annoying us can in no way locate or contact any of our clients. However we would like to put the record straight.

We have received a range of unfounded, unverifiable, and un-evidenced comments designed to annoy and harass us, and our professional affiliations. These are mainly very silly accusations of being "evil" because we work with different faiths, and other similar comments. These people understandably fail to provide evidence (since there is none) and instead use "fire and forget" tactics to annoy us. We respond to the silly claims here in our Question and Answer section.

We are in the process of tracing those responsible, and intend to take remedial legal action against these people once located. If those responsible are reading this, I suggest you desist now before we locate you and take appropriate legal action

It is not the first time we at Training to Survive have been annoyed by time wasters in this way. From time to time people objecting to our multi-faith and anti-discrimination approach have tried to cause trouble in a variety of silly ways.

In the past we have suffered this kind of nonsense from:

1. Certain religious groups who believe "their way is the only way"

2. Certain rather unsavory individuals responsible for a serious assault on Paul in a criminally motivated incident (non work related), who objected to being arrested afterwards.

3. Certain therapists who object to the general public being informed that there are Nationally Accredited Qualifications and National Occupational Standards in the UK

4. Certain unsavory people who object to the advocacy and support work provided to victims of violence and abuse.

5. Certain people who dislike the fact that we offer assistance to people of all colours, sexual persuasions, genders, age, culture faith, mobility etc.

6. Certain people who dislike the fact we work with clients who have specific gay or lesbian related issues.

 

 

All associated professional bodies, colleagues and affiliations are now alerted to this situation in order to assist us in tracking down those responsible. Emails are being kept and filed accordingly.

Questions and Answers: 

Here we reply to some of the more recent and silly allegations! We will add new Q and A as and when more silly emails are received!

Q.
There is only one true faith and you will be damned for working with devil worshippers and evil doers who do not follow the one true God.
A.
We are committed to anti-discrimination and working with all persons and faiths equally. We support International, European and British law as regards to religious equal rights.

Q.
All our qualifications are honorary and meaningless.
A.
Take a look at http://www.hypno-analysis.co.uk/whyus.htm and read about our Nationally Accredited Awards, including NVQ and ASET awards. This also explains the role of any honorary or pastoral awards and provides clarity and transparency. Incidentally we have had this checked by a professional body to verify that the details given are clear, accurate and responsible. Trading standards have twice checked these details, and twice acknowledged there is no case to answer.

Q.
We are associated with a degree mill.
A.
Our only degree association is that Paul does occasional assessment and tutoring for an Interfaith Seminary. In the past he has formally signed certification, verified by the Seminary under US Law in his unpaid role within the Seminary. These have all been officially registered and authorised by the Seminary following agreed periods of study and assessment to professional standards. Official standards of assessment and registration were always adhered to. At no stage have degrees been "purchased" as in a degree mill. Paul has never personally issued any degree. Again this has been checked by Trading Standards.

Q.
As an ordained minister or psychotherapist how can you associate yourself with tarot and similar practices?

A.
I have never claimed to be a Christian minister, and in multi-faith work there is no conflict to using methods such as tarot. Regarding psychotherapy, tarot is not used in counselling sessions, and in indeed tarot was used by one of the great psychoanalysts, Carl Jung. 

 

Q.
Why involve yourself in any multi-faith work as a psychotherapist?

A.
Faith issues are NEVER forced on any clinical client. However we get many clients contacting us for pastoral or spiritual related issues. In these cases it is quite proper and appropriate to use pastoral multi-faith methods. Again if you doubt the relationship between the spiritual and therapy, consider Carl Jung!

Q.
You are not a proper minister / therapist etc etc

A.
All our certification and accreditation has been checked by our registering and insurance bodies to their satisfaction. Again feel free to check the details http://www.hypno-analysis.co.uk/whyus.htm 

Q.
You use various made up titles and letters

A.
Not at all, again check out the qualifications to nationally accredited standards on the link above. Regarding other titles: We do both hold various titles related to a Holy Charitable Religious Order, but these are not used in therapy, or for therapy marketing and are fully explained to anyone asking. They are quite legal and are part of our private life and private faith. Our faith and right to free association are protected under human rights legislation. This is private life, not therapy related. Those who make an issue of it are either discriminating against our faith, or seeking to link our personal and professional lives in a misleading manner. Anyone with any common sense can tell that a title such as "lord" is irrelevant to therapy practice! In regard to our Degrees from the Seminary please note that these degrees are earned degrees and not purchased or honorary degrees. They required substantial work that has taken over 15 years to complete. The work has also gained substantial recognition in different formats gaining a clinical award of excellence in practical therapeutic use, and external accreditation in training use, both in the UK. 

Q
Do you claim to be medical doctors?

A
Absolutely not. We are not medical doctors. We have never claimed to be medical doctors. We always clearly state that we are not medical doctors. Our doctorates are in Pastoral / Divinity subjects and not medicine. We are NOT medical doctors.
