I recently completed the first round of my new therapeutic program called the Ascension Empowerment Intensive. My first client was a woman who is extremely experienced in the world of personal development. Over the course of her life she has been through years of traditional psychotherapy & hypnotherapy, is a decades-long practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism, and a student and facilitator of various psycho-spiritual practices. Her very livelihood is based on spiritual therapy. All her years of self-inquiry, study and teaching has truly transformed this woman into a force to be reckoned with. Her very presence is inspiring, her knowledge vast, and her experience plenty.
Our month together knocked my therapeutic socks off. Never had I encountered a client so determined and persistent. Each week flowed beautifully, the two of us working together, perfectly in tune with what was coming up, and flexible in the direction her own subconscious and my intuition were guiding us to go. My grand experiment – daily therapist-client contact – presented us with profound transformational power that we harnessed to bring about rapid change for this woman.
While designing the program, I naturally put the emphasis on the therapeutic sessions themselves, of which 16 hours are included in the program. BWRT, Hypnotherapy, Past Life Regression, Empowerment Coaching and many more – this is where I assumed the real work would be done. I looked at the daily contact, which happens mostly via text or email, to act simply as a new habit reinforcer and method of encouragement.
But I had it backwards.
At the end of the month, both of us in tears, she shared with me the most impactful aspect of the Ascension Empowerment Intensive. She said that although the sessions themselves were helpful and effective, it was actually the daily contact that packed the most transformational clout.
She went on to explain that in normal life, it can feel burdensome to constantly unload and share with loved ones while going through an extended period of transformation. Somehow knowing she could, and actually was expected to share every emotional signal, every creative thought, each grand epiphany – plus all the micro ups and downs along the way – empowered her to go harder, faster and deeper than she ever had before.
The container itself – the intimate daily communication with her therapist – is what really helped her reach her goals faster than she ever could have imagined.
Moving forward, I now have a better understanding and deep respect for the practice of daily contact with my clients.
Sometimes the most powerful therapy can be having someone to listen to you – uninterrupted and exclusively.
The Ascension Therapy Intensive is a 30-day, custom designed transformation intensive done completely online. It includes 16 hours of live therapeutic sessions with a menu to choose from, personalized assignments, a workbook and of course, daily contact with your therapist. Learn more here.
