The Transpersonal Approach
THE REAL Approach
Facilitating heart-centred coaching from the mind - fuelled by the soul.
The REAL approach is unique and developed by the founder of REAL Life Therapy, Madeleine Funnell. It has evolved considerably since its start-up in 2004. By exploring the Root of an issue, you will feel Empowered as your heart-centre expands and your emotions are Asserted and shifted as you transform and grow. Living life to purpose creates fulfilment. I explore not only how the mind works as a machine but how the soul provides fuel for that machine.
It’s important that you choose a way forward that is right for you with a therapist that resonates with your presenting issue and who you feel comfortable with and trust. I offer the discovery consultation to establish a connection and suitable framework from which to commence working together. Some types of counselling and therapeutic work engage only the mind, by-passing consciousness, the inner-spiritual essence, emotions and the heart-centre.
Working only on a spiritual level can by-pass the mind, a term referred to as spiritual by-passing. This leaves the psychological mind and its processes unconscious. The heart-centre is often where the deep healing takes place once the mind has changed the psychological behaviour pattens. Transpersonal approaches embrace the whole person and works on an integrative mind, body and spirituality level creating wholeness from a holistic perspective.
The REAL-Life approach is an integrative transpersonal psychotherapy. Its purpose is to integrate a wide range of therapies and processes including client-centred counselling, psychology, hypnotherapy, energy healing and NLP.
The application of this whole person holistic approach to the therapeutic process, embraces the mind, body and spirituality. Growth and transformation are enriched beyond conventional methodologies, creating an expansion of the human experience and conscious awareness.
Everyone is unique and presents with different therapeutic needs. Two people may react very differently to the same life experience and, it is important that different perspectives are respected and always valued.
Real Life Therapy navigates beyond the thinking mind, behaviourism and limiting self-beliefs into the trans element of transpersonal, which is unconventionally beyond.
Exploring Intuition, soul consciousness, creativity, compassion, insights and spiritual experiences enhances the therapeutic process and is transformative. A safe place is created and held to explore and implement change within each session or workshop.
Transpersonal approaches expose deeper meanings and understandings to the self, life and the universe. It embraces ones true potential and explores various pathways to navigate an enriched destination by galvanising positive qualities re-framing negative experiences.
Understanding the pitfalls and benefits of psycho-spiritual development can be reassuring and enlightening, fostering confidence to explore beyond the mind consciousness. Depression, PTSD, spiritual awakenings, spiritual emergence and dark nights of the soul can be challenging psychological processes for individuals and may need some guidance, especially if experienced by highly sensitive people (HSP’s) or empaths who are receptive to the emotions of others and are energetically aware.
Many individuals navigate their way to REAL Life Therapy by chance or recommendation and feel a sense of great relief and reassurance as we start working and exploring together. Confidence and self-belief grows as you begin to understand you are not abnormal in your sensitivity, behaviours, experiences or sense of Self.
Fostering organic unfoldment, facilitates an expansive and broadening pathway and understanding yourself more deeply can be a long journey. Feeling stuck can keep you in a comfort zone, but sometimes the comfort zone becomes uncomfortable for various reasons. Growth happens outside of the comfort zone when awareness, motivation, courage and change are initiated. Timing is of the essence and if the time feels right for you, then it is probably the right time for change and to get in touch by booking an introductory session by clicking the link on the right, above.
