transpersonal coaching and the 12-steps
|
Transpersonal Coaching can play an important role in supporting individuals in 12-step recovery by addressing their spiritual and existential concerns.
Most 12-Step programs are based on the idea that addiction is a spiritual disease, and that recovery requires a spiritual solution. Transpersonal Coaching, which incorporates spiritual and existential perspectives, can help individuals explore their inner selves and connect with their higher power. Transpersonal Coaching in 12-step recovery can help individuals cultivate a sense of inner peace and serenity. This can involve practices such as meditation, mindfulness, and visualization, which can help individuals quiet their minds and connect with their inner selves. By developing a sense of inner peace and serenity, individuals in recovery can better manage stress and reduce their risk of relapse. |

Transpersonal Coaching can help individuals in 12-step recovery develop a sense of connection and community. This can involve helping individuals build relationships with others who share similar values and beliefs, and who can provide support and encouragement as they navigate their recovery journey. By fostering a sense of connection and community, transpersonal coaching can help individuals feel more grounded and supported, which can be crucial in maintaining long-term sobriety.
The Twelve Steps of Recovery contain a lot of language related to Higher Power and God..."the God of your understanding". Working with an understanding and supportive Transpersonal Coach during a process of recovery can be an enriching and empowering experience which can bring clarity and safety to these sometimes unfamiliar, mysterious, or overwhelming ideas.

Step 11:
“Sought through Prayer and Meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood God, praying only for knowledge of God's will for us and the power to carry that out”

Many people who arrive at Step 11 have questions like…
“What is meditation?” “How do you meditate?” “Who (or what) is God?” “How do I improve my conscious contact with God?” “How can I discern God’s will for me?" |
"You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope."
