Emily was introduced to Concept-Therapy when she was a teenager by the best man at
her sister’s wedding, Dr. Herbert Dill. She found the Concept-Therapy course work to
be life-affirming and it’s principles to be applicable in all life situations. Receiving her
undergraduate and graduate degrees in English and Education, Emily eventually
married and worked with Dr. Dill in applying the Concept-Therapy principles in his
healing practice in upstate New York. In addition to Dr. Dill, Emily’s teachers included
Dr. Thurman Fleet, Dr. Jack Shatz, Dr. Conrad O. Schenk, Dr. B. F. Higdon, Rev. E. L.
Crump, and many more. Teaching primarily in the Northeastern part of the U.S., Emily
and Dr. Dill taught doctors and laypersons the practical application of the Laws of Life
explained in Concept-Therapy. When Dr. Dill decided to become a full-time instructor
and leave his successful chiropractic practice, the Dill Team moved to San Antonio and
began to teach classes throughout the Southwest. Dr. Fleet selected the Dill Team to
present the Institute’s post-graduate class in Cosmic Principles. When possible, Char
would join the Dill Team to teach Concept-Therapy classes in AZ, NM, and TX. Upon
Dr. Dill’s sudden death in 1979, Char and Emily continued to teach together, and
eventually married. They used the principles taught in Concept-Therapy to maintain a
very active teaching schedule (of up to 40 weekend classes per year) while being
parents and raising two (now grown and independent) daughters. Emily credits her and
the family’s success to their understanding and experience in applying daily the
Concept-Therapy Philosophy. Emily and Char have taught over 1000 classes to doctors
as well as laypersons in this unique and practical Concept-Therapy Philosophy. When
her schedule permits, Emily continues to teach the Conceptology and Cosmic
Principles courses with Char. The Mattox Team has been among the most active
teaching teams in Concept-Therapy for decades.
