Life-Changing Transformations

“With Gilber’s help, years of emotional and physical abuse were slowly unraveled, layer by layer. He has an incredible ability to guide you to the deepest, untouched pain with patience and precision. Though overwhelming at first, I learned to process raw emotions, uncover buried memories, and gain new perspectives. For the first time, I felt lighter, like this is how life is meant to feel. I discovered love, both for myself and others, opening a world I never knew existed.”

He guided me through my darkest times, and now I feel truly cured. If you have the time and resources, I strongly recommend Primal Therapy with Gil. It can save your life and your future.”

– Abi, Indonesia.

"After decades of ineffective therapy, my life was falling apart—alcoholism, a failing marriage, and serious health issues. Less than a year with Gil, and everything changed. My addictions are gone, my relationship is stronger than ever, and my health is improving. His therapy is simple, direct, and truly healing. For the first time, I feel confident and joyful about the future. Thank you, Gil, I am forever grateful."

“ I did this therapy with Gil for around 6 months, during which time he helped me immensely, and life became a lot easier. My anxiety slowly faded as I began to work through significant feelings. After a successful session I felt that I was really able to enjoy my day. After reflecting on life before therapy, even times I considered relatively happy, I believe the therapy has improved my life in areas I wasn’t aware needed improving. My only regret is that I could not continue the therapy for longer, and my plan is to return to therapy one day as I still have many feelings I would like to resolve.

Gil is an excellent therapist, and primal therapy is the only therapy I would recommend which can truly heal.”

What are the Three Levels of Mind?

In Janovian Primal Therapy and Theory the three levels of mind are known as the first line sensations that are a function of the brainstem, the second line is feeling that is a function of the limbic system, and the third line is cognition as a function of the prefrontal cortex.

Most patients start therapy with one or two problems they want to fix, but end up healing deeper and on a wider spectrum than they ever believed possible.

Three Levels of Mind

Meet Gil Bates

With years of experience in Janovian Primal Therapy, I am dedicated to guiding individuals through deep emotional work. My approach is compassionate, non-judgmental, and tailored to each person’s history.

Primal therapy isn’t just about uncovering pain; it’s about unlocking joy, love, and a more authentic way of living. My experience as both a patient and a therapist has given me a deep understanding of this transformative process, and I am passionate about helping others navigate their own paths toward healing.

 FAQs

  • All sessions are open-ended because emotions follow their own natural process. On average, a session lasts between 75 to 90 minutes, ensuring that the core feelings are fully accessed and processed before concluding.

  • Janovian Primal Therapy (JPT) is a unique form of therapy that works with the three levels of the mind—sensations, feelings, and cognition—to achieve deep healing. Unlike traditional psychotherapy or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), JPT addresses the root causes of emotional pain rather than just managing symptoms.

  • The therapist guides the patient through their emotions, helping them access deep-seated pain, process it, and integrate the experience for healing.

  • Yes, but it requires a willingness to face deeply painful emotions. Patients learn to enter difficult emotional states, work through them, and return to a stable state safely. This process can be challenging, but it is necessary for true healing.

  • No. While early forms of Primal Therapy required a three-week intensive, modern JPT allows for one or two sessions per week, making it more accessible and effective without the need for long upfront commitments.

  • Psychiatric medications suppress traumatic memories and block emotional access. Since JPT works by bringing these emotions to the surface, patients are encouraged to gradually reduce dependency on medications under proper medical supervision.

  • Yes. JPT aligns with neuroscience findings on brain development. It acknowledges that trauma is imprinted at the brainstem level, where early sensations are stored, and that true healing occurs by accessing and processing these deep-seated experiences.

  • Some critics, including certain psychologists and medical professionals, have dismissed JPT, misunderstanding its core principles. Some have even falsely labeled it a cult. However, JPT is not based on rigid beliefs but on real experiences of emotional healing.

  • Many individuals experience profound changes, including overcoming addictions, healing past traumas, improving relationships, and gaining a new sense of emotional clarity and well-being. Results vary depending on the individual’s commitment to the process.

  • If you're interested in exploring JPT, the best approach is to schedule an initial session with a trained therapist. From there, you can determine if this method is right for you and how best to proceed.
