Connection Therapy
Connection Therapy is psychological therapy that uses various Connection Practices (including the use of Connection Supplements) to facilitate access to suppressed materials. Connection therapy is aimed at facilitating insight and analysis. Connection therapy leverages the power and wisdom of one's Spiritual Ego (or some other location within the Fabric of Consciousness, to help with the healing process.

Notes
Connection therapy may be conducted with the use of Connection Supplements, like LSD. Stanislav Grof pioneered two types of Connection Therapy, Psychedelic Therapy and Psycholytic Therapy.
Connection Therapy facilitates connection to deeper levels of the human psyche, as well as connection with "transpersonal" realities--in LP nomenclature. Operationally, connection therapy helps blast through various Awareness Reduction Mechanisms, making the client aware of various psychological traumas, and putting them in touch with their own Spiritual Ego, or with some other location in The Fabric.
Grof considers connection therapies superior to Verbal Therapies. He notes, "From the practical point of view, it seems that the confrontation of transpersonal levels of the unconscious might be a condition sine qua non for effective treatment of certain clinical conditions."[1]
Grof notes that Connection Therapy works by putting oneself in touch with one's own "healing intelligence" or "inner healer."[2] In LP terms, connection therapy works because it helps connect you to your powerful Spiritual Ego or some other location with thin Fabric of Consciousness
Connection therapies are not magic bullets. Our planet's socialization system is extremely toxic (see Toxic Socialization and the damage done to an individual's brain and Bodily Ego is profound. A Grof notes, several sessions may be required to successfully process the full gamut of traumas created as a consequence of our violent and toxic system.[3]

Connection therapy, particularly those conducted with the assistance of Connection Supplements may be facilitated and supported by proper music choices.[4]
