What is Transpersonal Counseling?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Transpersonal Counseling (or Transpersonal Psychotherapy) is the extension of traditional counseling to include spiritual inquiry, body-mind relationships and transformation. In other words, Transpersonal Psychotherapy broadens the traditional theories about the psyche to include the spiritual dimensions of your being. The term transpersonal was first coined by psychologist Carl Jung. The transpersonal approach says that we have a spiritual nature and that our spiritual nature can be known and further developed.
The transpersonal work that I do may include (but is not limited to):
Psychosynthesis is a type of therapy that aims at integrating different personality strengths. Its focus is self-actualization, and it will help you to deepen your personal growth and expand your potential.
Guided Imagery is a process that helps you explore your psyche through engaging your imagination. In this state of deep relaxation, you may resolve personal conflicts and physical complaints, and gain access to your inner healing nature.
Spiritual Emergence is defined as a process of personal awakening into a level of perception and functioning that is beyond normal ego functioning. People going through spiritual emergence have experienced (or are experiencing) phenomena such as astral travel, psychic opening, peak experiences, communication with spirit guides, near-death experiences, and/or kundalini awakening.
In Western society, spiritual emergence-type experiences are sometimes interpreted as being pathological or out of place. (Of course, it is important to distinguish between psychic/spiritual phenomena and dangerous psychiatric conditions.) My task is to help you integrate your experiences and use them positively.

The bud
stands for all things,
even those things
that don't flower,
for everything flowers,
from within,
of self-blessing;
though sometimes
it is necessary
to reteach a thing
its loveliness,
to put a hand
on the brow
of the flower
and retell it in words
and in touch
it is lovely
until it flowers again
from within,
of self blessing.
Excerpted from the poem
"St. Francis and The Sow"
by Galway Kinnell

What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
EMDR is a very elegant tool for helping you move through places in your life where you may have become stuck. It uses the same eye movements that your eyes normally make in the REM dream state.
|
|
|
|
|
EMDR can help you accelerate the processing of self-esteem issues related to upsetting past events and present situations, as well as with a wide range of mental and emotional imbalances.
It is believed that Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing works by facilitating new neural network growth in your brainliterally helping you make connections where no connections existed before. Originally developed for treating trauma, it now has a whole host of applications in psychotherapy, including spiritual unfolding and restoring a damaged sense of self.

Asheville Therapist in Private Psychotherapy Practice
for Over 14 Years
I have been in private psychotherapy practice for over 14 years, many of which I have been part of the Asheville therapist community, helping people from all walks of life. I have a Master's Degree in Transpersonal Counseling from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, CA, a nationally accredited school. I am certified Level II in EMDR, and have advanced training in it.
Some people are polished storytellers. I am a "storyhearer", an art just as intricate and complex, and like great storytelling, it has taken a lot of practice to develop my gift. I constantly strive to hear you with depth, love, acceptance, awareness and compassion.
Sometimes you may need help remembering how to be in silence, instead of constantly replaying your story. And sometimes you just need to have someone willing to hear your story over and over again. When other people have stopped listening, I'm here to hear you and to help you listen to and accept yourself with love and compassion.
My experience has shown me that it is best not to set goals in counseling and try forcing yourself to reach them. Change is natural and inevitable each time you accept yourself, just as you are, you open a portal for grace.
