What Is Therapeutic Coaching

Therapeutic Coaching ® is a method developed by The Meta Institute and The International School of Therapeutic Coaching ®.  Therapeutic Coaching integrates NLP and HNLP techniques with hypnotherapy to help clients identify and break-up limiting language and thought patterns resulting in unwanted feelings, beliefs, decisions, and behaviors leading to emotional, mental, or physical dis-ease.  Therapeutic Coaching is considered a Complimentary and Alternative Health Care method.

NLP and HNLP

At the core of Neuro Linguistic Programming (Richard Bandler and John Grinder) and Humanistic Neuro Linguistic Psychology (John Overdurf and Julie Silverthorn) is the belief that all learning, behavior, and change occur at the level of the unconscious mind, where we store all our memories, experiences, intuition, and knowledge.  It is through our conscious mind that our thoughts, as represented by language, often limit our ability to naturally tap into personal resources available to us at the unconscious level. 

Hypnotherapy or “Trance State”

Hypnotherapy or “Trance State” is simply a very deep and focused state of awareness, guided by the hypnotherapist, to create a doorway and a positive relationship between one’s conscious and unconscious mind.  Milton Erickson, father of Ericksonian Hypnotherapy, believed that people’s problems primarily resulted from a lack of communication between the conscious and unconscious mind.  As this relationship is established it continues to expand the level of communication we have with our Higher Conscious mind as well.  Some people refer to this level as “God Consciousness”.

What Is Reiki?

Reiki is a method of stress reduction and deep relaxation which assists the body in its’ natural healing process.  Energetic healing dates back more than 5000 years ago.  It has been referred to as Universal Life sustaining energy, as Prana by ancient Indian traditions, and as Ch’i and Ki from the healing traditions of acupuncture and acupressure.

When there is an imbalance of this Universal Life sustaining energy within the human body, disease may result at the emotional, mental, and/or physical level.  Reiki is one form of energetic healing that recognizes deficiencies in a client’s energy field and assists client’s in regaining that balance.

Reiki is considered Complimentary and Alternative Health Care and is often done in conjunction with other healing modalities.
