The following interview with Chuck Spezzano, possibly in mid-2015, is more revealing than most. In addition to talking about his past use of hypnosis, NLP, working with shamans, and shrinking tumors, Spezzano says he is a "trained doctor of psychology." An English translation follows the original German on this post:

Here is a link to this interview, with critical notes, as posted last week [Nov. 2015] on the forum New Age Frauds and Plastic Shamans:

With world-wide success, Dr Chuck Spezzano works with his therapy of „Visionary Psychology“
He
is a doctor of psychology and a visionary of holistic healing concepts.
Until now, he authored 35 books and is a guru and companion for many
thousand persons world-wide thinking spiritually: US citizen Dr Chuck
Spezzano, born in New York state, but Hawaiian and cosmopolitan of
choice since many years.
He comes to Europe several times every year to teach his philosophy in seminars of several days' duration.
We
are sitting on the terrace of a hotel in the idyllic town of
Marktheidenfeld on the river Main. Together with his wife Lency – whose
family by the way originally came from the vicinity of Hanau – he will
do a seminar on nearby Burg Rothenfels. „This time we again have a lot
of couples, but also some very ill persons looking for an impulse for
healing in our seminars“, „Doc“ Spezzano reports. Not affected by the
caprice of weather around us, the American – who on principle will only
be seen wearing his colorful Hawaiian shirts – spreads his world view in
front of us. His doctrine, published in millions of copies world-wide,
the „Psychology of Vision“, is based on three main elements:
relationships, leadership qualities, and spirituality.
Spiritual Healing
Interview with Dr Chuck Spezzano
GESUND: What do these three basis elements mean within your doctrine?
Dr
Spezzano: It is essential to heal all relationships in our life.
Because this mental healing decides our happiness in life. It either
makes us thrive or makes us wither. Leadership qualities – this term
only too often has negative connotations. But I understand it as an
inner strength manifesting in outward actions. To be able to help others
is an effective way to help ourselves. Commitment and operational
performance for a social community takes strong minds. Spirituality
stands for the goal of our way in life. We need to recognize ourselves
as spiritual beings, not just as intellectual beings in this universe.
G: How did you discover this path of therapy?
S:
I am a trained doctor of psychology. My holistic way of therapy I
slowly worked out with the Navy and in meeting many soldiers addicted to
drugs. I also practiced hypnosis and NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming).
My encounters and my own therapy work with many shamans have gone into
these development processes, too. My vision always was there must be a
quick, easy-to-learn and simple access to our subconscious. Then one day
I read the book „A Course in Miracles“. And there was everything I had
sensed and reviewed myself: this life is about love, and above all about
relationships. This was the key. From then on, my wife Lency and I
developed our own therapy which we spread worldwide.
G: What is
your therapeutic approach? How does Psychology of Vision help me when
I'm ill, or when I have problems on the job or in my private life?
CS:
Same as every other physician or therapist, I do a detailed anamnesis. I
take my time talking to seminar participants. Some years ago, a very
old woman with a tumor the size of a football came to my seminar. I
talked to her about her life for a long time. Just taking the time
listening to her. This revealed that, already during her childhood, she
had to deal with brutality and sexual abuse which continued during her
marriage and in other relationships. Her relationships – to me they were
the key for the therapeutic approach and for the old lady, they were
the key to healing. It was necessary to reprocess the nearest human
contacts of her childhood, and that's what we did. A few weeks later,
her tumour was reduced to the size of a tennis ball and then shrank even
more. Unsolved psychological conflicts in relationships cause illness.
Even decades later.
G: Does your success also base on your own experience?
CS:
That's exactly so. Before I met my wife Lency, I always had difficult,
destructive relations. When I developed my therapy it was clear that I
had to go back into my own relationships mentally and emotionally, in
particular the primordial one to my parents. During the complete time I
felt the pain of my childhood and was able to heal it. - You see, this
still causes a few tears with me today... (short pause of thinking). But
these don't cause negative, afflicting emotions any longer. Just
emotions for my parents.
G: Dear Dr Spezzano, I thank you for this conversation.
CS: May I add something personal?
G: Please do!
CS:
Take off this beautiful ring you wear on your pinkie. When you wear a
tight ring on that finger all the time, this is no good energy for your
heart meridian which goes exactly through this finger. The energy of the
heart, the most important energy we have, cannot flow freely this way.
Just a little hint...
