Methods of discovery allow exploration of your specific psychological needs, wishes and healing challenges.

(My apologies Corey - I thought to delete this page because the summaries had been in home page but I changed home page and realize it is useful to orient folks here….I loved the format with descriptive boxes you had. I can edit text later. Can you cut and past it - recreate it here with links to specific methods pages?)

Soul work utilizes myriad methods of discovery to fully support your health, healing and happiness on all levels.  Approaches to mental health include and combine psychotherapy, coaching, counseling and group work. Here you can explore the treatment methods offered through Transpersonal Counseling, starting with the summaries below. 

Settling & Inquiry 

Living into the questions of our lives with open, unknowing curiosity is a deep aspect of transpersonal integration and Kristen also offers a powerful inquiry tool that illuminates “what is really going on?” in the living moments of life. Inquiry is not a conceptual or analytical process but rather explores our states of being and patterns of experience to see, learn and move in new ways, helping you retrieve awareness from the abstract soup of thought and concept, returning it to the body; to the immediacy of now.

Enneagram Personality Typology

Within the teaching of the Enneagram is a profound system of spiritual psychology, describing 9 distinct temperaments or “Enneatypes.” Each has a specific desire, fear, style of defense, habit of attention, strategy of avoidance and more.  The power of this knowledge wakes you to a deeper level of inner –understanding, helps you understand and develop compassion for others, and teaches you the specific direction for your personal and spiritual growth.  

Kristen can help you find your type, understand what it means in your life and create a toolkit designed to help you apply the teachings to your life, expand awareness of your inner landscapes and move in freer, happier ways.  

Neuro-Linguistic Programming 

Simply put, NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP) is the art and science of personal excellence. Art because humans bring unique personality and style to their individual expression, and science because there is a discoverable pattern within high level performance, and desirable states of being that can be mapped and modeled to learn and embody positive change.

Understanding how to learn and move allows us re-pattern behaviors.  Exploring our own experience allows us to re-imprint past memory, change attention in the present and create better templates for new futures.

Relationships

Relationship is arena of our lives that shines with the immediacy and aliveness of interrelating Now.  Here we embody the teachings and practice to grow.   We center in being and connect to the earth as support, as we engage from our heart-mind-soul to enjoy each moment of our precious lives.   Learning and practicing healthy communication skills keeps channels of relationships clear. The art of appreciation and sending messages of love are medicine for the soul’s journey.

We practice skillful relating whether in a partnership or single.  And being a best friend to Self is the beginning, middle and end of the soul’s journey home.
