A TRIBUTE TO RANDY
CONTRIBUTIONS OF RANDY DELLOSA TO PHILIPPINE PSYCHOLOGY AND PSYCHIATRY
1. Psycho-educating the common "tao." Randy’s most significant contribution to Philippine psychology and psychiatry comes from his frequent media exposure on reality TV shows, documentary programs, magazine talk shows, news programs, radio channels, and podcast collabs on Youtube, Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok.
As the foremost popular psychological expert on Philippine television and social media, Randy is able to educate the Filipino masses by giving a psychological perspective on a wide array of life issues.
2. Reducing Philippine stigma on mental illness. Randy's image as the life coach and psychotherapist of ordinary people and luminaries from show business and high society has imparted to the Filipino masses the belief that it is alright, and even trendy, to have a personal life coach or psychotherapist. This has strongly helped in reducing the stigma that prevents many Filipinos from consulting mental health professionals for their psychological problems.
3. Pioneering the practice of 'Holistic and Integrative Psychiatry' in the Philippines. Most Filipino psychiatrists discredit and belittle complementary and alternative medicine in the treatment of psychiatric conditions. Randy, however, combines conventional psychiatric treatment with natural therapies that facilitate the patient's capacity for self-healing.
As the pioneer practitioner of “holistic and integrative psychiatry, clinical psychology, and psychotherapy” in the Philippines, Randy uses a variety of healing methods which include the following: osteopathy, acupuncture, medical qigong, Daoist yoga, mindfulness meditation, psychospirituality, energy healing, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, arts therapy, drama therapy, regression therapy, cranio-sacral therapy, visceral manipulation, and many other therapies.
He is also a revivalist of the classical 19th-century practice of Mesmerism by Franz Anton Mesmer, which is the forerunner of modern hypnotherapy.
And being a somatic (body-oriented) psychotherapist, he has innovated forms of therapy that combine gentle therapeutic touch with talk therapy which he calls Dellosa Listening Touch Psychotherapy (DLTP).
4. Propagating the practice of Gestalt Psychotherapy in the Philippines. Randy established the Gestalt Therapy Association of the Philippines (GTAP) which offers training programs in the theory and practice of Gestalt Therapy.
Gestalt therapy is a holistic approach to psychotherapy that focuses on integrating a person's body, mind, emotions, energy, relationships, and spirit, thereby bringing deep healing to the "total person.”
5. Establishing the Life Change Recovery Center. Randy established an innovative mental health facility which has helped tens of thousands of psychiatric patients and addicted individuals, since its inception in 1996.
Unlike other rehabilitation centers that employ the 12-Steps or Therapeutic Community program, Randy developed a 'life-transformation paradigm' which not only helps patients heal from their psychiatric conditions but more importantly, helps them move forward in life to attain their fullest human and spiritual potential.
6. Building a spiritual community for the SBNR (Spiritual But Not Religious). As a psycho-spiritual leader and mindfulness retreat facilitator, Randy draws on his experiences as an ordained Daoist priest-monk, liberal-mystical Christian, Zen sitter, Clairvision practitioner, and Advaita Vedanta self-inquiry meditator.
Randy encourages people to explore various spiritual traditions and practices so that they may develop a path or form of spirituality that is unique, personal, meaningful, and spiritually nurturing for themselves.
Moreover, Randy also integrates spirituality with Gestalt therapy, Existential psychotherapy, Transpersonal psychology, and Shamanic Psychotherapy in order to make spirituality more psychologically-attuned, more practical, and more grounded in the reality of everyday living.
