Credentials and Testimonials

Dick Rauscher, is a licensed mental health counselor and life coach who writes articles for the Dick Rauscher Blog on the subjects of Primitive Ego Psychology, awakening our human consciousness, and taming our childhood primitive ego to achieve true happiness and success in life.

His articles focus on taking full responsibility for the lives we are creating for ourselves, developing the skills required to achieve greater meaning and happiness, become more successful in life, and learning the day-to-day psychological practices and skills needed to become more self-aware in order to achieve the life you have dreamed of living.

Happiness in life is not a goal to pursue… it is the by-product of action taken to add value to the world and the lives of those around us. We live in a world in which the future isn’t what it used to be.

Resilience to cope with the changes and challenges that we will need to face in that new future will require an evolution in our collective human consciousness and learning how to tame the conditioning of our unconscious childhood ego.

Environmental sustainability and resilience for the changes that are coming will require growth in self-awareness. We cannot solve the problems and challenges threatening our future if we insist on using the same thinking that created those problems.

Dick offers one-on-one personal business, relationship, and personal growth life coaching. He has in-depth training and life experience in helping other people awaken their unconscious childhood conditioning and achieve their life goals. Happiness and life purpose must work together if our life is to have meaning. And that journey toward happiness and meaning begins by awakening our consciousness and taming the unconscious primitive ego conditioning of childhood.
