Paula Shaw, C.A.D.C. - Creator of CHART Conscious Healing and Repatterning Therapy Paula Shaw, a graduate of Long Beach State University in Education and Communications, taught Elementary School, worked in Sales and Marketing for an Idaho ski resort, and was a Location Manager for Motion Pictures before going back to school to do her training for Alcohol and Drug Counseling. In addition, she did specialty training at Loyola Marymount University and became a Certified Grief Specialist.

Grief became the central focus of her work because it is so critical an issue in addictive dysfunctional behavior. As Director of Outreach Programs for the Grief Recovery Institute, she started the first weekly Grief Recovery support groups in the San Gabriel and San Fernando Valleys. She moved on to develop a private practice and her own Grief Support programs called Beyond Loss. Over the years they have helped hundreds of people, many of whom are recovering alcoholics and addicts. In addition, she conducts Grief workshops and trainings for nurses, social workers, and therapists that focus on giving these professionals skills that enable them to work with grieving people. Paula also developed a speciality program for teachers called "Kids 'N' Crisis," which empowers them to deal effectively with the emotional impact of crisis on children. Paula added Holographic Repatterning to her tool bag in 1997. It opened her awareness to how quickly and effectively Energy work could shift people with all kinds of issues. Particularly exciting to her was the success with loss, loneliness, and self-esteem issues that are major contributors to the development of self-destructive, addictive behaviors.

Attendance at the International Energy Psychology Conference in May of 1999 intiated a whole new level of interest and emphasis in her work. She now uses Energy work with nearly all of her clients and has developed her own Energy Psychology system called Conscious Healing And Repatterning Therapy (CHART).
