Transpersonal Approach

The transpersonal orientation integrates the psychological dimensions of being human with the spiritual, that mysterious life force which enlivens us.  In fact, the original Greek word Psyche pertains to the mind as well the soul and the breath, which in many languages relates to spirit, or the breath of life.  The transpersonal approach is concerned with the highest human potential, including the cultivation of unitive, transcendent, and spiritual qualities, and their potential to heal and improve our wellbeing.  The transpersonal orientation also honors all of the world’s spiritual traditions and sees spirituality as potentially an important resource in helping us deal with life’s challenges, and to go beyond our sense of separation into feeling connected to something greater than ourselves.
