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.
ACADEMY OFFERINGS
This is not
self-help entertainment
Each course is designed and delivered to simulate the experience of receiving counseling from Dr. Fischer himself, starting with the 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 tools and skills that work.
The TAOGP MASTERCLASS
TAOGP Academy begins with The Art of Giving Permission™ Masterclass, Dr. Fischer’s signature explanation of the primary building blocks of his unusual philosophy: Internal Friendship and Emotional Autonomy. Completing this course will provide you information equivalent to many months’ worth of working directly with Dr. Fischer in counseling or coaching.

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 break free.
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?
