The S.T.A.R.T Approach
The START system (Strategies To Achieve Recovery & Transformation) was developed out of necessity. When several of his clients made the decision to have weight-loss surgery, Curtis Dean Hall, licensed clinical marriage and family therapist and certified clinical hypnotherapist, found that their success hinged on what they did after they left the hospital.
To successfully change the “outside” you must also make important changes on the “inside.” START leads you through simple, but profound exercises proven to help you heal from the inside-out.
The START system is one of the only programs in the world specifically designed with the bariatric patient in mind. This 2 CD set leads you through powerful exercises that guide you to the deep inner resources found only in your unconscious mind.
Not only does the START system prepare you for successful weight-loss surgery, it also helps you uncover and eliminate the subtle inner beliefs that may have blocked your past efforts and continue to sabotage your ability to lose weight well after you are home from the hospital.

Psalms for Surgery
Over 200 research studies in the past 30 years have explored the role of mind-body techniques in assisting people as they prepare for surgical and medical procedures. These studies have overwhelmingly shown that psychological preparation can significantly reduce stress and anxiety before and after the surgeon takes up the scalpel.
Proper psychological preparation has also proven to -
- dramatically decrease pain
- decrease side effects and complications of medical procedures
- reduce recovery time and shorten hospital stays
- enhance sleep
- strengthen the immune system and enhance the ability to heal
- increase self-confidence and self-control
With the wealth of research studies also proving that at least 8 out of 10 people use a faith-based approach when faced with the threat of an upcoming surgery, Curtis Dean Hall is the first in this exciting field of surgery preparation to take the logical "next step” by creating a faith-based approach using the well-proven clinical methods AND THEN infusing them with the power, promise and poetry of the Psalms.
Surgery is one of the greatest physical challenges most of us will ever face. Why face it alone? We, who have an active vital faith in God, are afforded the most powerful form of preparation available, the power of prayer and meditation on God’s Holy Word.
This CD includes:
- Track 1- Introduction
- Track 2- Pre-surgical Exercise
- The pre-surgical exercise leads the listener through clinically-based forms of mental imagery, designed for positive surgical outcomes. Listen and practice along with this imagery exercise in an attitude of prayer. For best results, practice the pre-surgical exercise once a day for 7-10 days prior to surgery.
- Track 3-
- Post-surgical Exercise
The post-surgical exercise is designed to comfort the listener and accelerate the healing process. Following your surgery, listen to it twice a day or any time you are experiencing significant pain.
Hailed by surgeons and pastors alike as "a truly remarkable gift for anyone facing surgery," Psalms for Surgery is a "must-buy" and the perfect way to show you care when the threat of surgery casts a dark shadow over someone you love.

SMART Approach
The SMART Approach was developed by Curtis Dean Hall in 2002. It is a complete mind-body-spirit approach to reducing stress.
The three pillars of the program are:
- Conscious breathing (the way in which the body breathes)
- Mindfulness (the way in which the mind breathes)
- Prayer (the way in which the spirit breathes)
The SMART program was researched at Friends University with positive outcomes. Dean has found the more stressful your situation or occupation, the better it works!
Dean has used it with corporate executives, nurses and teachers... all with great success. Originally a six-week program, it can be successfully implemented as a 1 or 2-day seminar, at retreats or as a self-study program at home.

"The pre-surgery CD gave me such peace and a feeling of "control", that by the time the week was up and it was "D" Day, I was calm and prepared (which anyone that knows me would be surprised that those words could come out of my mouth… especially before surgery!) After the surgery, it was a 6 week healing process and I immediately started listening to the post-surgery portion of the CD, as instructed. I listened to the CD twice daily while I was at home, recovering and it was such a relief to listen to it and focus on my breathing, instead of the pain.
I encourage anyone, young or old that has to face surgery to purchase Dean's work, and see what the power of God, the power of self-healing and the power of Dean Hall's Psalms for Surgery CD can do to lighten the burden and speed the recovery process.”
