Individual Coaching and
Development Sessions


People come to personal coaching and development sessions for two general reasons - pain or prevention. Those experiencing undeniable pain, anxiety, broken relationships and a host of other symptoms are the largest group. The second group come as preventive medicine. They know there is much greater possibility in their lives for creative expression, loving relationships, openness and passionate spontaneous living. One of my idealistic goals is to create a larger percentage of people willing to address life challenges and struggles before they become symptomatic sufferers.

Individual sessions focus upon the AIM and FIRE principles from an experiential perspective. These personal sessions are demanding and yet supportive, nurturing and usually perceived as compassionate. I say usually because if people come into development sessions looking to be coddled or for an ally to uphold their stories of history, then awakening to personal responsibility can at first seem like a confrontative and overwhelming vulnerability. While peoples movement and timing along life's path is of course up to them, I believe that everyone willing to risk and focus upon shedding their illusions of necessity and expectation, will come to appreciate the awesome mystery and challenge of personal discovery.

Because of our culture of "purchasing expertise" people often expect specific answers to their inner world debates and dilemmas. But, our inner uncharted waters are not accounting goals or legal opinions. Our inner world and its associated truth is ours and ours alone. In this regard I insist on nudging people toward faith in their own independence and understanding. In the midst of the unstated cry to "take away my pain" the push toward self-understanding can be frustrating. Out of this creative churning is born unbounded possibility. While there are frustrations at times, travelers along the path of self appreciation develop a huge respect for mystery, paradox and uncertainty.
