Graphotherapy is a form of reverse psychology accomplished through handwriting exercises specifically designed to bring about more desirable personality traits. By doing these exercises, you are accomplishing a gradual retraining of your subconscious mind.

Graphotherapy has been clinically proven that changes in your handwriting causes a change in your personality. If the desired changes are practiced long enough with your handwriting it becomes a permanent personality change.

Thoughts and emotions transmit via your motor reflex muscles and shape the size, form, and pressure of your script, and are inter-linked with your mind. It is natural that changing one will bring a change in the other.

I have instructed people in changes that have resulted in better relationships, have reduced insecurity, increased self-confidence, overcome depression, increased sex drive, etc. The benefits have consistently amazed those who completed the exercise courses. Problems of shyness, depression, suicidal tendencies, hypersensitivity, severe introversion, insecurity, low ego, low self-confidence, as well as mental confusion have been helped or in some cases completely corrected.

The desire and need to change negative traits is common. Fear is at the root of most psychological problems. Self-confidence and self-image are replacements for fear.

Fear and inhibition is very common, especially with children and teenagers. Dealing with with fear and inhibition in adults is difficult, because they tend to disbelieve that fear and inhibition is at the root of their problems.

People that suffer from fear and inhibition tend to bottle up their feelings until the internal pressure forces them to seek some means of escape. Unfortunately, alcohol and drugs tend to release those inhibiting inclinations, so that is what most people turn to.

Fear and inhibition is show by left-slanted handwriting. Look at the following sample. The left slant of the handwriting says "Don't come to close to me!" This is a handwriting sample of a man with a strong desire for a serious, committed relationship with a woman. He is very attractive, intelligent, educated, generous, strong sex drive, somewhat successful with business, and will do anything for a friend. However, his history of relationships with women have the same pattern. The lady ends the relationship after a short period of time...and he can't understand why. The reason why is because fear, inhibition and lack of communication. This man would find success with relationships if he changed the left-slant to a slight right slant.

This is a portion of a suicide note. This was written before a girl hung herself. She meticulously braided wire coat hangers together to form the noose for her death. See how her handwriting looks terribly twisted and tortured.

Look at this handwriting sample. See how the tilt of the handwriting first slants to the right, then the next sentence slants to the left. The following two sentences are pinched together and slanted downhill showing depression. This handwriting shows a person who is very depressed and who's emotions change at the drop of hat. The handwriting of a person will change as a person's moods change, but when a person's handwriting changes in so many ways within the minute it takes to write a handwriting sample, it shows a person who's moods also change at the drop of a hat without reason. When I told this man the meaning of his handwriting, he went into an uncontrollable angry rage, saying he had no emotional problems. A couple of years later this man committed suicide.

Look at this handwriting sample. See how the handwriting completely changes in mid sentence. This is a sample of a person who is one person one minute and a different person the next minute. I am glad to say that he realized his problems and is now following my professional advice and treatment.

Dylan Klebold
One Of The April 20, 1999 Columbine High School Gunman

This is a handwriting sample from Dylan Klebold, one of the Columbine High School killers on April 20, 1999. After this tragedy, the parents and teachers of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold had stated that they had no clue whatsoever that these two teenage boys had any emotional problems. If you look at the above sample of Dylan Klebold's handwriting without even paying attention to what he wrote, and simply look at the overall shape of his letter, you can see how this letter alone is shaped like a bomb!

Parents and teachers...will you please wake up!!!

Parents can easily make changes in their children's handwriting if they see signs of unwanted traits or characteristics. Changes in a child's handwriting are accomplished easily with graphotherapy. It can be difficult in the beginning to change their slant. Let them know this and expect it. There should be some suitable reward for accomplishing it. By correcting it early, the parent or instructor will save this child much heartache. In addition, educational efforts will benefit greatly. Childhood is the opportune time to deal with introversion. Otherwise, it can be accomplished only after severe emotional suffering.

Why is it so important to change bad writing? Not just for better emotional health, but for physical health, and to be happy as well.

When I counsel anyone suffering from depression, graphotherapy is the first treatment I turn to as therapy. I recommend these people enlarge their handwriting with a firm baseline and on an uphill slant.

Fear and inhibition is a much more serious problem then generally recognized. It is a great help to anyone who sincerely seek its benefits.
