Transpersonal Psychology is a Vehicle for Transformation

Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and experience.

Transpersonal

Transpersonal involves valuing deep connectedness, relationship, and the way we subjectively experience our world and our shared humanity.

Transpersonal Experiences

Transpersonal experiences allow individuals to feel a sense of identity that goes beyond their
personal selves to encompass the broader aspects of humanity and even the universe

Transpersonal Connection

Transpersonal connection includes fostering understanding of dimensions all humans share with a deeper self, others, nature, and the universe.

Transpersonal psychology

Transpersonal psychology includes everything that mainstream psychology does
but it also includes a focus on behaviors and experiences which seem to transcend an individual’s, or group’s, sense of identity, with special attention to how those behaviors and experiences can be transformative.

What is Transformation?

The research defines transformation as an essential and positive development in a person’s consciousness,
worldview, or perspective that results in long-lasting changes in how an individual experiences
and relates to themselves, others, and the world. It involves a profound shift in one’s experience of consciousness. Transformation can involve a more intuitive interconnected relationship with the surrounding world, one that is not limited by space and time.

In other words, transformational experiences are also transpersonal experiences, going beyond the personal self.

Open to the Experience

In order to experience such a profound and lasting shift, a person must be open to having a transformational experience. Openness is a critical feature of self-transformation. By being open to the transcendent and others, one can let go and transform.

Intention To Foster Long-Lasting Change

In THERAPEUTIC COACHING  a person must be open to engaging in a set of internal and external activities that foster them being engaged on an emotional, physical, intellectual, and sometimes spiritual level,with the intention of fostering long-lasting shifts in the way they experience and relate to themselves and others.

These experiences are inherently personal and the moments of life-changing clarity or profound insight that changes lives, behavior, or relationships will be unique for each individual.

One way I bring the transpersonal into my work with individuals is in therapeutic coaching which involves coaching individuals to see themselves selves in larger, more expansive ways, and to evolve. To learn more about Therapeutic Coaching go here.
