For Practitioners & Serious Students
Learn to practice Causation Therapy. Join the founding generation of a worldwide school of consciousness-based psychotherapy.
The Vision
Realization Psychology is the system Dr. Richards has developed over four decades. Causation Therapy is its core clinical method, and it is what this cohort certifies you to practice. Causation Therapy is not a technique. It is a complete methodology, a new branch of psychotherapy grounded in the soul's continuity across lifetimes, the mechanics of karmic patterns, and the precise clinical process of resolving them in full consciousness.
The CT Training Cohort is the path through which this methodology is being passed to the next generation of practitioners. Those who complete it are not simply learning a new tool; they are joining the founding community of a worldwide school.
Dr. Richards works with each cohort personally. This is not a recorded course or a self-study program. It is direct, supervised training with the founder — the only way to learn this work with the precision it requires.
Places are limited, and every applicant speaks with Dr. Richards personally. If this work calls to you, the first step is reaching out.
Apply for TrainingFull training in the principles and clinical practice of Causation Therapy, from theoretical foundation to supervised client work.
Regular sessions with Dr. Richards including live practice, Q&A, and case supervision throughout the training period.
Membership in the growing international network of certified CT practitioners, the community of the founding generation.
Graduates who complete the modules and the supervised practice requirement are certified as Causation Therapy practitioners. The scope you then practice within depends on your existing credentials.
The Curriculum
The training moves from theoretical foundation through clinical technique to independent practice. Each module combines self-paced study with live cohort sessions and supervised practice.
Why past-life work, in terms a conventional clinician can engage with. The invisible wound, the four levels of karmic experience, and appropriate case selection.
The full sequence of a first session: intake questions, contraindications, the museum induction, and first past-life access.
How trauma actually discharges, and the precision the process requires. What separates clearing from insight, and why thoroughness matters more than speed.
The law behind the work, and the moment in a session when a client sees the whole pattern for the first time.
Navigating the most common difficulties in the room: resistance, over-analysis, emotional flooding, and the client who comes to imagery slowly.
The central navigational structure of the work: how to build it, how to use it, and how to return a client to it reliably.
Working with pain, chronic conditions, and body-held material that traces to a specific past-life injury.
Recurring relational dynamics, karmic debt and credit between souls, and the soul groups clients return with across lifetimes.
Your own state as a clinical instrument. Neutrality, presence, and the practitioner self-work the method asks of you.
When the source is in this lifetime: childhood, prenatal, and birth material, and how it interacts with past-life origins.
Structuring work across multiple sessions, deciding what to address first, and managing a case from intake to completion.
Contraindications, referral, informed consent, and the boundaries of what this method is and is not for.
Building the work into an existing practice, ongoing supervision, and continuing development after certification.
What You Receive
Every enrolled trainee receives private access to the full training library for the duration of the cohort and beyond.
All thirteen modules in readable form, with learning objectives, key concepts, self-work exercises, and review questions. Your progress is tracked as you move through.
Documented cases from Dr. Richards' own practice, organized by presentation type, annotated to show what was done, why, and what happened.
Supplementary teaching drawn from the training calls themselves, covering material that falls outside the core modules.
Regular scheduled sessions with Dr. Richards: live demonstration, practice, and open Q&A with your cohort.
Bring your own client work for direct review. Supervised practice is a requirement of certification, not an optional extra.
Graduates who complete the modules and the supervised practice requirement are certified as Causation Therapy practitioners.
Who This Is For
This training is open to licensed clinicians and to serious practitioners without clinical licensure. Everyone trains together, and everyone is certified the same way. What differs is not the training. It is the scope you practice within afterward.
Psychologists, therapists, counselors, and other licensed practitioners integrate Causation Therapy into an existing practice as an advanced modality.
You operate under your current professional scope and ethical code, with CT as one methodology among those you are trained in.
Causation Therapy is practiced as a complementary modality rather than as psychotherapy. This is a full and legitimate path, with clearly defined boundaries.
You work with clients who are psychologically stable, do not diagnose or treat mental health or physical conditions, maintain collaborative relationships with a client's other providers, and refer reliably when a presentation calls for it.
The same qualities matter on both paths, whatever credentials you bring to them.
Admission
Places are limited and admission is by conversation. Every applicant speaks with Dr. Richards personally before a place is offered.
Tuition, schedule and certification requirements are set out in full on the tuition and requirements page.
Before You Apply
Two to three Causation Therapy sessions as a client. Sessions you have already had count, whenever they were. The Self-Guided Journey is the one course prerequisite, and it needs to be finished before the cohort begins rather than before you apply.
Application
A written application covering your background, your existing practice, and what brings you to this work.
Conversation
A personal conversation, not an interview. It runs both ways: whether the training suits you, and whether you suit the training.
Placement
Places are offered on readiness and fit rather than credentials alone, and the cohort is deliberately kept small.
From the Cohort
I have had the extraordinary privilege of training with Dr. Charles Richards in Causation Therapy. This experience has been profoundly transformative, not only for my professional and personal development but also in witnessing the tangible healing it brings to those in need.
Causation Therapy, or Soul Realization Therapy as I like to call it, stands out offering an exceptionally ethical and surgically precise approach to healing invisible wounds. By addressing root causes, often traced back to past lives or prenatal experiences, it provides real, measurable results.
Dr. Richards' wisdom, expertise, and masterful teaching have been invaluable. His personalized guidance has allowed me to refine my skills as a therapist, empowering me to apply these techniques effectively and with confidence, facilitating profound healing in others. His dedication to this work is inspiring, and I feel honored to have learned from the best.
I am deeply grateful for this opportunity and wholeheartedly recommend Causation Therapy to practitioners who are seeking an effective and compassionate method for lasting healing.
