An Introduction To Transpersonal Coaching

By Allyson Burke


In order to understand what transpersonal coaching is you need to know the basic definition. Transpersonal means to go beyond the person. It is about looking at a range of issues rather than simply the individual and their personal circumstances. With the right coach it is possible to change lives not just in the short term but also change their outlook in the long term as well.

In simple terms a person is not someone who exists in a vacuum. We are the product of the lessons our parents and teachers give us, the media we consume and the community we live in. All of these things can have an impact on our lives and the way we interact with the people around us.

In order to understand this think about the last time you felt stressed. You may have been driving to work and someone hit the wing mirror of your car. The likelihood is this will be on your mind as you go to work and is likely to affect your concentration. If this results in a bad day at work then this will mean you will come home stressed.

On the basic level it can work in the way a motivational speaker or coach can usually work. Goals can be set and objectives can be reached. It is possible to change your perception in order to become better organised and to gain more satisfaction from your life.

However a coach can also go deeper. For example improved health can lead to reduced stress. This in turn can mean people feel happier and are more likely to be able to focus on their working life. This holistic approach means that a lot of the issues that can be obstacles to fulfillment can be dealt with in a way that you may not necessarily get using more conventional motivational methods.

It can also go beyond inner issues. Conflict resolution is a key aspect as this can affect personal relationships as well as how people deal with problems in business. With this kind of coaching the coach looks at how a person debates with other people about issues, trying to look for healthier ways to resolve a conflict than through arguing or trying to reach compromises that ultimately do not benefit either party.

It is also about dealing with the most difficult problems in life. People who have had major upheaval in their lives can often struggle to adapt to their new circumstances. Finding someone who is sympathetic and yet also able to give firm direction can give people the chance to cope and adapt to their new circumstances, ensuring a happier long term outcome for their personal and professional lives.

There are a number of people that offer transpersonal coaching services. It is worth looking online to compare what is available. Ideally you ought to meet them in person as some are more compatible with some people than others. Use your regular search engine to see what services are available near you as well as feedback to find the best one for you and your individual circumstances.
