The Art of Giving Permission™ & TAOGP Academy
TAOGP ACADEMY IS MY ONLINE PLATFORM FOR LEARNING HOW WE CAN ALL TAKE CONTROL of the emotional patterns, relationship dynamics, and unconscious beliefs that have been quietly (and sometimes not so quietly) shaping our lives.
FEEDING YOUR HEART & MIND
Free to join, the community at TAOGP Academy is where you can find my courses, attend LIVE Q&A’s, view archived Q&A sessions, meet and communicate with fellow members, receive ongoing support, and best develop your expertise at The Art of Giving Permission™.
I honestly believe that high-caliber counseling/coaching shouldn’t be a luxury only available to the few. This is why I never turn away anyone seeking help due to their financial limitations. Academy members may offer contributions to help support my willingness to always offer pro bono and low-cost services to those otherwise unable to afford it.
* All community members are eligible to receive sliding-scale or pro bono counseling/coaching sessions.
From Dr. Jason B. Fischer, PhD
“I created TAOGP ACADEMY to teach people how to give permission, understand what this means exactly, and why it matters more than anything else in the world.”
When you learn The Art of Giving Permission™, this philosophy will become such a part of who you are that it will change how you live, how you relate to others, how you speak and act in the world, and how you continue to grow and improve throughout your life.
When we truly comprehend how humans as emotional beings operate, we realize how true it is that permission changes everything.
This is not
self-help entertainment
Each course is designed and delivered to simulate the experience of receiving counseling or coaching directly from me, starting with my signature course: The TAOGP Masterclass.
It is a comprehensive and structured program that will guide you into a keen understanding of yourself, your emotions and behaviors, your relationships, and the problematic patterns in your life that keep repeating until, through The Art of Giving Permission™, they are ultimately broken and replaced with wisdom and precesses that work.

Real-Life Examples
EXAMPLE 01
"I Keep Sabotaging Every Relationship."
You tell yourself this relationship will be different. Then the same patterns emerge.
The same arguments. The same withdrawal, people-pleasing, defensiveness, anger, resentments, frustrations, disappointments.
TAOGP explains why this is and how to change it, so you can finally experience the authentic connection and true intimacy you crave.
EXAMPLE 02
"I Feel Lost and Don't Know My Purpose for Living."
You long to be passionate about something. You keep waiting for inspiration and clarity.
A sign.
A breakthrough.
A calling.
TAOGP teaches how to discover who you are, what already drives you, and how to move forward with self-awareness and enthusiasm.
EXAMPLE 03
"I hate feeling this way."
You feel frustrated because you've worked hard on yourself. Yet the same emotions, triggers, and reactions keep showing up.
You feel stuck. You feel lost. You feel that something must be wrong with you.
That maybe you need drugs to be normal.
TAOGP sheds a bright light on what is truly causing you to feel this way, and what to do to start feeling differently.
EXAMPLE 04
“I Keep Trying To Change My Behaviors, But Nothing Seems To Work.”
In your mind’s eye, you see yourself living in a healthier way. Every night, you promise yourself tomorrow will be different.
Each next day turns out the same. You wonder what is wrong with you. Why you don’t have more will-power.
You fear the consequences of failing to change these behaviors, and fast.
TAOGP explains what’s happening, why, and how to make your way to the freedom you crave.
Ready to Create a Life of Your Choosing?
Imagine spending years in counseling, reading books, listening to podcasts, attending workshops, and still finding yourself repeating the same patterns.
You've invested time. You've invested energy. You've invested money.
Yet somehow, very little seems to change.
What if the problem isn’t you or how hard you’ve tried? What if you've simply never met the right person to show you the way?
