Transpersonal Therapy focuses on the Whole or "True" Self. Transpersonal psychotherapy draws it's methodology from the
spiritual traditions of the world, including eastern philosophies such
as Buddhism, the Yogic traditions of India, and Western Contemplative
traditions, and integrates them with Contemporary Psychology. This type of therapy focuses on the Spiritual
aspects of the human experience. Transpersonal Psychotherapy is
concerned with a person's highest potential, and with the
recognition, understanding, and realization of the Spiritual, deeper,
more meaningful side of an individual.
Issues considered in transpersonal psychothearpy include spiritual
development, peak experiences, mystical experiences, meditative and
altered states of consciousness, and other metaphysical experiences
that one may have. This type of therapy focuses on existence beyond the
ego or personality self and into the Spiritual Self. Transpersonal
psychology is an approach to the whole person. It is a holistic therapy, encompassing all levels of human experience. With this therapy can come a balanced
development of the intellectual, emotional, spiritual, physical,
social, and creative expression aspects of a person's life. Transpersonal Psychotherapy primarily uses spiritual inquiry and the focus of body-mind relationships to create transformation. Transpersonal psychotherapy is depth psychology. People may experience a deeper or wider sense
of who they are, or a sense of greater connectedness with others, nature,
or the sense of Spirit with this type of therapy.
