Creating change through deeper awareness

01/14/2026

Constructed Awareness® (CA) understands conscious experience as being built from three elements: thoughts, sensations, and external cues. These building blocks organize how we orient, regulate, and respond moment to moment. CA typology explores how different arrangements shape experience without assigning fixed types or labels.

The Constructed Awareness Scale (CAS) is not meant to assign a type, but to support reflection on orientation patterns in specific contexts. For some, it can offer language for noticing what is regulating and what is less accessible.

In Constructed Awareness®, resourcing is rooted in awareness rather than control. By noticing how experience is constructed in the moment, regulation becomes possible through clarity, tolerance, and choice.

Constructed Awareness® (CA) begins with a simple, powerful noticing.
Where your awareness naturally goes is not random. It reflects how you orient to life, to relationship, and to change.

Some people first notice thoughts.
Some notice sensation.
Some notice what is happening around them in the environment.

None of these are better or worse. They are simply different doorways into presence.

CA helps you recognize your primary orientation, understand how it developed, and learn how to move with it rather than against it. From that understanding, new choices emerge. Not through effort or fixing, but through awareness becoming more spacious, flexible, and kind.

We’re pleased to share that a new peer-reviewed article by Tyler Orr has been published in Counseling and Values.

The paper presents Constructed Awareness® (CA) as an emerging, trauma-informed counseling model, offering a comparative analysis of mindfulness-based approaches and clarifying how awareness itself functions as a mechanism for therapeutic change in CA. The article outlines the model’s theoretical foundations, clinical applications, and implications for trauma-informed practice.

Due to publication restrictions, the full article cannot be shared publicly.
Clinicians, researchers, and students may request access by emailing info@constructedawareness.com

We’re grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing scholarly conversation around mindfulness, trauma, and clinical care.

New research highlights how memory reconsolidation, the brain’s ability to reactivate and revise memories, can advance trauma therapy.

This recently published article introduces Constructed Awareness® (CA) as an emerging therapeutic model that weaves together mindfulness and neuroscience through an intervention called Memory Reconstruction.

The paper outlines CA’s core principles and treatment phases, explores the neuroscience of memory updating, and illustrates practical clinical integration through a case example, offering insight into future research directions.

In this short reflection, Gloria Cave MSW, LCSW speaks to a shift many therapists quietly meet. The moment when willpower and effort no longer feel like the path to meaningful change.
Her journey toward Constructed Awareness® began with the recognition that change emerges through how we meet our experience, not through pushing ourselves harder.
Her story offers a glimpse into why CA feels like a renewal for so many practitioners.
A return to presence, to curiosity, and to the kind of awareness that restores both the therapist and the work.

If advice were enough, we’d all be healed by now.
But advice doesn’t equate to presence.

In Constructed Awareness®, we learn that healing grows in the space where a person is met rather than managed. Where they are accompanied in their experience instead of directed away from it.

Presence makes room for what is real. And what is real can finally move.

When we witness a client meeting their inner world with presence, something profound unfolds.
In Constructed Awareness®, therapists learn to stay close to that unfolding without interfering, trusting awareness to do its quiet work.

In CA, we learn that awareness itself brings change.
And this week, I find myself grateful for that simple truth.
That every moment we meet with awareness becomes a doorway back to ourselves.
That even discomfort can soften when it’s allowed to be seen.
That ordinary miracle of presence is its own form of care.

We’re grateful to everyone who is learning this work with us, practicing awareness in their own lives and in their clients' lives.

Thank you for walking this path with us.
Creating change through deeper awareness, together.
