Hi, my name is Wes Bertrand. From an early age I’ve been fascinated about how to achieve a higher level of emotional awareness and personal evolution, and thus life satisfaction. Psychology has been a passion of mine well before receiving my Bachelor of Science degree in this field a dozen years ago. I have a keen interest in answers to the important questions about self, reality, and others. Reading profound books such as Honoring the Self by self-esteem psychologist Nathaniel Branden helped provide many of the missing pieces. Currently, I bring this perspective to my Psychology Meetup Group here in San Diego, Ca; you might be interested in checking out my list of psychological favorites for the group.
After receiving a Masters of Arts degree in counseling psychology in sunny San Diego in 2000, I wrote a couple books about the philosophy of liberty. The Psychology of Liberty and more recently Complete Liberty are my answers to our culture’s sizable ethical and political problems, which adversely affect our personal context. Even though our choices may seem limited at times given this context, only by living freely and viewing ourselves as independent and responsible individuals can we become more happy. Being authentic means trusting our basic sense of reality, what we perceive, think, and feel about ourselves, others, and the world.

My primary area of interest and proficiency is in the use of sentence completion exercises, or sentence stems. Dr. Branden’s pioneering work with these exercises convinced me that they are the most effective and efficient technique for discovering yourself—for finding out who you really are and how you can better understand your thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
Of all the psychotherapeutic methods available, sentence completion exercises have impressed me the most in terms of accessing the subconscious mind and connecting with one’s sage-self. I plan on devoting this website to making this psychotherapeutic technique much more accessible and hopefully more useful to you and those you love. It’s a meme that needs to be spread.
