The Heart Assisted Therapy Foundation

The Heart Assisted Therapy Foundation (HATF) is a non-profit entity designed solely to acquire funding to support research on the components  and effectiveness of Heart Assisted Therapy.  The HATF is a 501- c (3)  corporation, which allows contributions to HATF to be tax-deductible as a  charitable non-profit organization.

Heart Assisted Therapy (HAT) is a mindful, gentle, and holistic  mind-body-energy model of psychotherapy. The HAT approach is a hybrid  model that integrates and synthesizes traditional psychotherapy models  with energy science. This dynamic and humanistic approach incorporates  "Awareness Streaming" in concert with the body’s innate  electro-physiology, heart energy, and respiration to facilitate healing  and stabilizing shifts in emotion, sensation, cognition, and behavior.   HAT has been beneficially used with a wide variety of psychological  conditions including trauma/PTSD, anxiety/phobia, depression,  loss/grieving, sport and performance issues, self-regulation issues,  anger/stress management, and pain management.  John H. Diepold, Jr.,  Ph.D., licensed psychologist, is the originator and developer of HAT and  very committed to studying and sharing the benefits of this promising  and helpful intervention.

At this time (Phase One), the HATF exists solely as a vehicle to study  the efficacy of HAT in the psychotherapy process and the HAT three-step  self-regulation protocols (HAT-SR), which have evolved and are used  independently by anyone for their personal needs.  Completed research  findings will be made public via professional presentations and  published articles in professional journals.  A brief synopsis of every  research project will also be posted on the Heart Assisted Therapy  website (heartassistedtherapy.net) during and after completion of the  studies.  The longer- range goal (Phase Two) is to demonstrate that HAT  and the HAT-SR protocols can be successfully employed by both  professionals and laypersons respectively for the purpose of restoring  emotional stability, healing, self-regulation, health maintenance, and  performance excellence across various community and medical settings.

Research venues will include university-based studies (e.g., University  of Arizona) and independent research by clinicians and users of HAT and  HAT-SR across various settings (e.g., medical facilities, clinical  offices, schools) in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to The Heart  Assisted Therapy Foundation. Regardless of the size of your charitable  contribution, it will be appreciated and help us move forward in funding  the costs of research.
