Physics explores the nature of reality at the most fundamental level. Quantum physics and relativity have changed our understanding of the world and have profound implications for how we conceive the mind, brain, and body. Phil Mollon invites us to explore a fascinating fusion of psychotherapy and physics that opens our minds to the wider cosmos.
The Physics of the Mind: New Perspectives for Psychotherapists, Healers, and Seekers is aimed at psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, healers, and anyone interested in the interface of physics and the mind. Both are interesting topics – even more so when combined. Phil Mollon’s expertise is within psychology and, over his long career, he came to realise the importance of physics to the field. In particular, the branches that place mind and consciousness in the foreground of how we might understand the universe and our place within it.
There is a deep organising principle operating at all levels of the universe. It gives rise to life and is apparent within the human mind in dreams and creativity. A key lesson from quantum physics is that consciousness and the human mind are inextricably involved in the emergence of what we can observe and experience of our matter-based realm. In other words, the behaviour of the quantum realm is shaped by our observation of it. Just as we think of space-time as shaped by gravitational forces and massive bodies, so we can conceptualise mind-space. The latter contains mathematical correlithms of thought, emotion, and memory, whereby what is similar attracts more of the same in a manner analogous to gravity. These have effects within the mind and in the wider life-field. For example, severe and repeated childhood trauma creates the equivalent of ‘black holes’ in the mind-space. Metaphysics posits that our matter-based universe is subtended within an infinite unified field of intelligence and creativity. We are contained within a vast mind. The principle is that unlimited guidance and knowledge is available via meditation and intuition, requiring only that we seek. It is never thrust upon us.
This is a book filled with extraordinary ideas to dip into wherever curiosity and intuition lead. It is the author’s fervent wish that what is within will stimulate thought and awareness, and spark continuing creative concepts concerning our place in this cosmos
Reviews and Endorsements
The Physics of the Mind by Phil Mollon marries psychology and quantum physics as mirrored aspects of outer and inner beingness. It asserts that after years of scientific disregard and invisibility, consciousness is rightfully repositioned at the centre of reality, as the human vehicle for creation.

It is a seriously beautiful thing to come across a writer who wants to think collaboratively beyond their professional discipline, by crossing the trajectory into its mediated bridge of new meanings. This is a rare thing in a world which increasingly prizes itself in specialisation and unique language. Phil Mollon performs his own holographic intention, a desire to beam more synaptic connections, and it seems to effortlessly trace physics to bring the mind into a new sphere, where psychology gives birth to physichology? Whatever this should be called, the practical implications of these ideas are simple and revelatory, excavating further the magic of the Blue Diamond healing field potential. This book is like riding a wave, the quantum wave of the unconscious mind. It sometimes goes backwards in order to go forwards, it is like an invocation to a new kind of listening, and as a composer, it helps me hear this new world. As a therapist or a healer, it may just help you touch this new world, in a way you could not have imagined.
Tamara Friebel, PhD, musician and composer, co-creator of the Blue Diamond Healing Meditations
Phil Mollon’s new book is a lucid, insightful exploration of consciousness, bridging psychotherapy, neuroscience, and cosmology. With clear prose and compelling illustrations, it reveals the brain as a hub in a resonance-sensitive, holographic field – connected to both body and cosmos. Beyond treating mental disorders, this work offers a visionary framework for healing even at planetary scale. A must-read not only for therapists and seekers, but for anyone intrigued by the physics of the mind and the deeper mechanisms of the fabric of reality. This groundbreaking synthesis places Mollon’s book at the forefront of modern consciousness studies and integrative healing science.

Our knowledge systems have been growing towards increasingly isolated islands of specialisation. There is a great need for synthesis, to reveal underlying harmonies and more particularly to derive fundamental principles. Cross fertilisation can lead to new perspectives and deeper insights, towards a more coherent and integrated understanding of and relationship with creation. Physics pursues this goal in terms of a Theory of Everything. But physics doesn’t appear to be able to attain this objective on its own. There is great need for a much broader conceptual framework than we presently have, to bridge across diverse streams of knowledge. This can empower a deeper and more meaningful appreciation of creation and a more effective and responsible interaction with it.
Dr Mollon’s work is to be highly commended for progress achieved in this direction. Physics embraces the material order in creation, while mind and psychology relate to the more human aspects of cognition and behaviour. Psyche derives from the concept of soul and the deeper and inner realities this entails. This work brings two key factors in our experience of creation into relationship in a most interesting way. I wish Dr Mollon every success in this endeavour.

About the Author(s)
Phil Mollon, PhD, is a psychoanalyst, clinical psychologist, and energy psychotherapist. He is well-known as a writer and speaker on topics including shame, trauma, dissociation, self-psychology, and EMDR – and has pioneered the development of Psychoanalytic Energy Psychotherapy. With 50 years of clinical experience, in both the British National Health Service and private practice, he has explored many different approaches, always seeking better ways of helping those who are troubled with mental health problems. His work remains rooted in psychoanalysis, whilst also incorporating neurobiological, cognitive, and energetic perspectives.
