COUNSELING FOR ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, TRAUMA, AND ANGER

Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy (DNMS)

I have found this to be the most comprehensive treatment modality that I know. It provides powerful, long lasting healing for those individuals who have been experiencing the following:

 Depression
 Obsessions
 Anxiety  Relationship problems
 Panic disorders  Childhood traumas
 Social phobias
 Codependency
 Addictive behaviors  Complicated grief
 Anger
 Perfectionism

This modality helps the individual liberate himself from previously held negative messages that have clearly interfered with his ability to feel better about himself and avoid negative limiting kinds of behaviors. Examples are those people who have identified with messages such as these “I am not good enough,” “I am insignificant,” “I cannot succeed.”  After treatment clients have reported tremendous transformations within themselves and their subsequent abilities to relate to others.


The DNMS is a relatively new treatment that was developed by Shirley Jean Schmidt. It utilizes a very supportive and user friendly approach in terms of helping its clients realize their goals. This is exemplified from one of the foundation elements of the healing experience which entails having a   client become connected to his resources: the nurturing and protective adult selves, as well as a spiritual core self. Clients are immediately engaged and strengthened as they find that their own qualities are enhanced individually and collectively. This process allows clients an opportunity to feel more calm and centered. The resources are then able to provide clients with appropriate guidance and ultimately they can serve to heal wounded child parts that have held the negative messages.
