Abstract

A comprehensive clinical orientation and toolkit for Non-Forcing Psychotherapy (NFP). This model reframes psychotherapy as a process of real-time alignment rather than intervention, drawing on principles of fluid dynamics, phenomenology, and the non-forcing wisdom of Wu-Wei to address the "energy error" of psychological bracing.
