Transformational counselling is not an alternative mode of counseling. It is a proven one that works
because it takes all your dimensions into account: circumstances, emotions, inner spiritual core and
intellect. It’s about learning to let go and allowing something new to emerge and manifest.
While transformation is a simple process, it can take time depending on your level of readiness and
ability to handle change and growth rates. It will likely go in spurts, some slow, some fast.
The most important element though, is your desire for changing your life as it is now. You have to be
ready to accept that what you have been doing isn’t working.
You need to be ready to re-examine virtually everything you have believed. Many of your former
assumptions will be challenged and found to be inadequate, or incomplete. Some may have been dead
wrong – because they were taught you by people who didn’t understand, or who had issues based on wrong
beliefs themselves.
If you find yourself repeating ways and things that in the end keep turning out to not work, it is time to
transform yourself. You need a new inner ‘script’ – a new inner vocabulary.
If you’ve been stuck in the same mode too long – if all your efforts came up with the same unsatisfying
outcomes, it is time to begin an inner transformation; a journey of recovery and healing that brings
closure to a dysfunctional past, and a transformed life tomorrow.
Transformational counseling is indirectly similar to EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and
Reprocessing) because it focuses on the present, and only deals with those elements of the past that
emerge to create issues in the present. Dealing with it implies facing it - gently and sensitively - but
firmly until the emotions have been felt, explored, understood in a new way and basically overcome.
