The Inner Counselor Process was developed by Ann and Bob Nunley. It is an excellent process that speaks to the heart of a particular issue. Allowing you to find its origin to transform and transmute that issue. The Inner Counselor Process provides an alternative to being in therapy for years and years. Yet the Inner Counselor Process is a very gentle process.
The Inner Counselor Process is not only a psychological process but a spiritual process as well. According to Abraham Maslow there are ten basic needs. If one of these ten basic needs are not met, we learn to compensate in order to get what we need. The compensation is often a protective reaction that may not always be appropriate.
Abraham Maslow’s Ten Basic Needs
- strength
- creativity
- freedom
- control
- acceptance
- connection
- love
- trust
- peace
- joy
Inner Counselor process begins by naming a particular issue that is bothering you. The body usually manifests a feeling, connected to the issue. Sometimes the feeling manifests as a physical symptom as well.
An example would be, you are in a traffic jam and get road rage. You may feel this as a tightening of your gut . This is just an example of how this particular feeling of rage may show up, it may manifest somewhere else or differently. The Inner Counselor Process will then help you examine why you feel so enraged by seeking other times in your life when you had the same feeling in your gut. You may find that it is caused by feeling out of control. You are then guided to finding other times in your life when you felt out of control and had the same feeling in your gut You continue following the feeling until you reach an original time you felt out of control with this same feeling in your gut.
The rage manifests itself as a protective reaction to feeling out of control. This protective reaction may have assisted you at one time but may no longer be appropriate and is actually holding you back.
You are then guided to find a different way of reacting to the stimulus which is extremely effective. This is where the process shines.
A session may last around a hour and usually is very profound.

The Inner Counselor Process is just one of the tools I use during a Medical Intuitive Session. A medical intuitive in my opinion, is only as good as the tools they have to help you heal. They must also have a broad knowledge of many modalities and therapies for referral. I am available to facilitate the Inner Counselor Process. The process can be done by phone or in person.
