The Clinic Process goes from 9:00-5:30 or so
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and 9:00-noon on Sunday.
Times are approximate because if a group member is in the
middle of some important work at 5:30 pm, we will let them
finish that piece of work rather than cutting them off, so
expect some flexing of the schedule. Reno, Nevada ClearLife® Clinic

Research shows that men and women who have authentic emotional support from others who know them "warts and all," live longer, fight disease better, are less likely to have heart attacks, are less likely to be depressed, and are more adaptive and flexible in the face of life's unpredictability. Since 1985, we have had over 6,000 people attend the ClearLife® Clinic . It is a gentle 3.5-day process composed of lectures and small-group work. Participants take a respectful look at family-of-origin--much like doing "psychological archaeology." They identify some of the patterns they are still playing out that are causing them problems, and then learn some new patterns to replace those in the here-and-now. There is a maximum of 7 people per small group. There is a strong emphasis on helping participants move through and out of Victim or Perpetrator Cycles of Behavior into cycles of Competent Adult Behavior. Participants often come to work on the following issues… * Relationship difficulties * Depression
(non-biological) * Anger problems * Addictions * Anxiety * Compulsive
Behaviors * Career or Identity
Issues * Stress Admission to the ClearLife® Clinic is by application. Screening includes a comprehensive Intake Form and consultation with the applicant’s therapist if there is one. If not, we encourage applicants to have a therapist with whom to work, after the program has been completed. Program Schedule times are approximate due to work being done in each group... Thursday-Saturday
9:00 – 5:30 p.m. Some Important Considerations People often wait ‘til the last minute to sign up for programs like these. Sometimes people think about doing this kind of work a few years before they actually sign up. The thought of doing group work creates anxiety for everyone, no matter how much experience they’ve had. All we can say is that as far as group programs like this go, we have made it as safe and as low-threat as possible. Within 45 minutes of the start of the program, most people are feeling significantly more comfortable than when they began. Couples and Individuals: The ClearLife® Clinic is for both individuals and couples. But, we handle most couples differently than we did in the 1980’s. In 1991 Linda Friel began experimenting with putting both partners of a couple into the same small group, with the same facilitator, rather than splitting the partners up by putting them into different groups. It immediately became clear that this was an ideal way for couples to learn to have differentiated intimacy because the structure of the program "asks" each person to do his or her own work within his or her small group. Doing one’s work with a partner present, but under rules which prevent the partner from rescuing, giving advice, or attempting to control their mate, allows both of the partners to begin to manage their own anxiety, thereby increasing differentiation and intimacy. So, while the program is structured for you to do individual work, one of the most intimate experiences a person can have is to witness his or her partner doing that work, without getting in the way. Paradoxically, it increases closeness and empathy and decreases enmeshment and exaggerated dependency—all of which mean deeper, truly grown- up intimacy. Deposit A $500 non-refundable deposit is required prior to the screening process. If you are not admitted to the program, your deposit will be returned to you. ClearLife® Clinic Dates for 2020 in Reno, Nevada Thursday
April 30-Sunday May 3, 2020 LIMITED to 7 Participants -- 1 therapy group of 7 The ClearLife® Clinic is a special 3.5-day program designed to help people discover and work through the roots of self-defeating patterns of living. As we practice old learned habits over the years, we may find that they no longer work for us, so that we ultimately try harder to be happy but feel less comfortable as time passes. These habits can eventually interfere with our quality of life so that we experience depression, feelings of loneliness and emptiness, troubles in our intimate relationships, and compulsive or addictive behaviors. In the end, we may discover that we have unconsciously held onto patterns that only lead to more of the same unhappiness. 1. PREPARATION Click Here For Client Forms Please include your completed INTAKE FORM (4 pages) and HIPAA PRIVACY Signature Page with your non-refundable deposit for the ClearLife® Clinic, unless you are a current client. If you cannot print out these pages, we can send you the forms, but this will delay your application. The information in these forms is confidential, and cannot be released to anyone without your written permission. If you have a therapist, please have him/her sign the Therapist Release Form that is specific to the ClearLife® Clinic. Click Here For Client Forms 2. INTAKE FORM To help determine if the CLINIC will be an appropriate experience for you, we require that each participant send us a completed INTAKE FORM before we can proceed with your application. Be forewarned that the $500 deposit does not mean acceptance. If after reviewing a file we determine that the applicant may not benefit from the CLINIC at this time, we will refund the deposit in full. 3. We encourage you to have a therapist prior to attending the Clinic so that you have someone to process your experience with when you are done. 4. ALSO NOTE!! Do not make non-refundable airline or other travel arrangements until you have been notified of your acceptance to the Clinic. If this happens, we will not be held responsible for any travel costs incurred by you to get to the CLINIC. We strongly urge you to send in your deposit so that we receive it in our office at least ten (10) days prior to the start of the CLINIC. If we receive your deposit later than that, we cannot guarantee that there will be room for you at the CLINIC or appropriate time to review your Intake Form, for acceptance. For deposits received later than ten (10) days prior to the CLINIC, we will put you on a waiting list in the order in which your deposit and intake form were received; and we will do everything that we can to make sure that you get in; but we will not guarantee it. 5. PAYMENT The cost of the ClearLife® Clinic is $1,000. A $500 non-refundable deposit per person is required to hold a space for you at the CLINIC, and the balance is due the Thursday morning that you begin. Space is reserved upon receipt of your deposit, and is on a first-come, first-served basis, so we suggest that you send it in at your earliest convenience. We accept checks, VISA or MASTERCARD. 6. LOCATION: Our Our office at 5421 Kietzke Lane Suite 202 Reno Nevada 89511 7. PARTICIPATION AND FOLLOW UP We ask that you come prepared to look closely at your family of origin, as well as how that system impacts you today. During the CLINIC, you will be involved in both lectures and small group work designed to help you untangle the often complex dynamics underlying our unhealthy lifestyles. At the end of the CLINIC, you will decide on a follow-up plan. It is very important that you plan to do this follow up work. As with any personal growth experience, if you don't follow up with a maintenance program afterwards, much of the gain that you make while at the CLINIC will be lost. 8. NOTE: The CLINIC begins Thursday morning at 9:00 a.m. *********************************************************************************************** *********************************************************************************************** Mail to Friel Associates PO Box 12370 Reno, NV 89510 or use our Electronic Fax 651.628.0220 (press "Send" as soon as you hear our outgoing message) or scan and email to lifeworks@clearlife.com ClearLife® Clinic REGISTRATION FORM Friel Associates/ClearLife Reno 775.337.0299 NAME:________________________________________ PHONE: (H)_______________ (W) ______________ e-mail address_____________________________________ (Cell)______________________ _ ADDRESS: House #_________ _ Street_________________________ ___ City__________________________ State ______ Zipcode______ _______ I have read and understand the above description of the ClearLife® Clinic process, and agree to abide by the conditions stated above.
