Mind Clearing:
A one-to-one talking process to clarify your thoughts, release tension, and improve relationships
What is Mind Clearing?
Mind Clearing is a structured therapeutic process developed by Charles Berner in the 1960s to help individuals resolve inner conflict and improve their ability to relate. It works by uncovering and expressing withheld thoughts and emotions that create confusion and emotional tension.
Berner believed that breakdowns in relating stem from one of three key areas: Affinity, Reality, or Communication. Improving one of these elements can uplift the others—bringing clarity, connection, and peace.
Why Relationships Matter
Psychologist Dr Dan Tomasulo confirms that our sense of wellbeing is closely tied to the quality of our relationships. Focusing on this area of life can lead to more meaning, connection, and emotional resilience.
Mind Clearing addresses relationship challenges at their root—by helping you speak what hasn’t been spoken, feel what hasn’t been felt, and be finaly heard.
My Journey with Mind Clearing
I discovered Mind Clearing through Alice Whieldon, from whom I received many sessions and who is now my mentor. I went on to train as a Clearer from 2014 to 2017, and this work became a significant turning point both personally and professionally. In 2025, I joined the Clearers’ Association, benefiting from the support of Lawrence Noyes, who dedicated his life to the work of Charles Berner and Clearing.
Mind Clearing supported me throughout my Doctorate of Art, completed in 2026, in which I explored the relationship between a somatic dancer and a filmmaker. My research brought together Berner’s theories of communication with somatic movement practices, focusing on the dyadic relationship between filmmaker and mover.
Having completed this chapter, I am now returning to Clearing in order to support individuals in their own processes of self-inquiry and development.
