Therapeutic Life Counseling
Therapeutic Life Counseling (TLC)
Core modalities = Internal Family Systems, Expressive Arts and Physio-emotional clearing work
1) Internal Family Systems
This powerful yet simple process involves being able to more fully hear and accept previously out casted “parts” of ourselves as well as balance out more dominating aspects. It creates a harmony and enhanced understanding among conflicted internal parts that ultimately leads to a greater reliance on the more centered and balanced “Self”.
The ultimate goal is the clients own “self leadership”. This way of working comes from the standpoint that everyone at core is healthy, whole and balanced. With this process a client can become self sufficient, that is, no longer needing the support of an outside support person in a relatively short period of time. Click here for more on this work
2) Expressive Arts and Physio-emotional clearing work
Sometimes a deep non-linear process of clearing the past or working with unresolved issues in the present is necessary before a person is ready to move forward with their life goals. Expressive Arts and Physio-Emotional clearing work incorporates many different modalities that encourage the discovery of one’s deeper truth and it’s expression. Through non-linear processes such as using the voice, art, or movement, our emotions, memories and awareness’s can be readily accessed which would otherwise be diverted by our mental defense systems. In addition, the body holds all the clues and messages about what is inside and with the help of someone versed in body oriented clearing process’s, these deeper truths can be brought to the surface to be expressed. By expressing in both verbal and creative ways, the soul’s essence is revealed and the individual is left empowered to make life-enhancing choices.

Note: Sometimes when we start with the Voice Work the need surfaces to move into the “deeper work” as I call the Therapeutic Life Counseling.
