Lori Carpenos intended to be an art teacher but instead became a marriage and family therapist, largely because of her fascination with relationships. She wondered why some relationships were short-lived and others lasted a lifetime, and why some relationships were full of contempt while others were warm and loving. What was the difference? Was it a matter of finding the right person, or was it some unknown ingredient that created the magic?

When she met Sydney Banks in 1985, she saw the value and the results of showing people their hidden health and wellbeing, and knew she had to share what she found. Mr. Banks' Three Principles provides the key to unlock the magic that exists somewhere deep inside.

In her practice she hears the stories of a diverse mix of people. Many of those who seek her help are on their last dollar, returning to society after deployment or prison, in abusive relationships or those just wanting to sort out an issue. The thing that these people and that all of us have in common is that we operate the same psychologically, regardless of our background or our current circumstances. The only variable is what we think about. Understanding the Three Principles can help everyone in every unique situation.
