About Us

Long term relationships are a difficult project. Children, and “inner children”, are not equipped with what it takes to succeed in it. What is needed are adults. Our inner adult. Worthiness Based Psychotherapy (WBP) speaks to our inner adult. It speaks to the best in us.

WBP is an innovative, effective and life changing approach to individual, couples and family therapy. It’s an approach that stresses responsibility, growth, authenticity, creativity and ethical relations towards others. 

 Amittai Megged, its developer, has integrated into it the thoughts and works of Ivan Boszormeny Nagy (Contextual Therapy), David Schnarch (The Crucible Approach and CNT), aspects of the Milan approach, Karl Tomm’s work and the work of the Armenian mystic George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff.

Here are some of the principles of WBP:

  1. People are much stronger then they and most theories imagine. The “vulnerability” and ״fragility” that certain therapists and theories attain their patients is exaggerated.
  2. Problems and symptoms are not the result of childhood deficits, of what was missing. Problems and symptoms are a result of what is currently present in the patient’s life and relationships
  3. The contribution of the past to problems and symptoms are not via what was missing, rather than through what we were given. The twisted love we got from our parents has a bigger weight to our defects then the love we didn’t get.
  4. People do not only suffer from their symptoms, they also enjoy using them to manipulate others. In order to free patients from their symptoms, therapist need to be able to see the symptom in their larger context, where they serve the patients.
  5. The suffering people endure are not only the result of what was done to them, but also the result of they do to others.
  6. When people act in unethical ways towards others, their worthiness diminish.
  7. When people allow others to treat them in unethical ways, they can’t feel worthy.

What therapists do in WBP:

  1. Help clients identify clearly and precisely the ways other treat them unethically: manipulation, abuse, lying, violence, intimidation, coercion and so on.
  2. Help clients become more differentiated, hold on to themselves and build a solid sense of self.
  3. Help clients identify the ways they treat others unfairly and unethically.
  4. Confront them and push them to grow up, stop manipulating and abusing and start taking care of themselves.
