TransEgo Therapy
TransEgo Therapy™ or TET is brief, outcome focused spiritual psychotherapy. Its multi-dimensional and integrated clinical approach offers a new therapeutic model for therapists and clients who are open to looking at life from a spiritual perspective. TET is ideal for individuals wanting to desensitize specific triggers, work through a loss, a somatic complaint, an episode of sadness or stress, or who would like to get clarity on a specific question. TET may be as brief as three sessions and can be offered during regular face-to-face sessions, as well as via the telephone.
TransEgo Therapy
resonates with transpersonal psychology, recognizing that the
meaning-giving quality of life goes beyond the physical realm or—more
accurately put—the egoic consciousness. As human beings, we will reach
our full potential when we align our physical expressions with our
spiritual intent. What does all this mean and how is this relevant to
psychotherapy?
When we leave the realm of linear thought, we become conscious of a
reality in which everything is reciprocally and spiritually
interconnected. Every moment offers an opportunity for spiritual
growth, even when we are going through a divorce or lose employment.
When we travel through life, unaware of its pervasive spiritual
richness, we increase the likelihood to get stuck in an emotional
charge. Rather than to embrace the emotion’s underlying wisdom and move
with its flow, we brace and dig in--perpetuating the pain.
TransEgo Therapy
is based on the premise that emotional problems, such as sadness and
stress, are related to over-identification with the ego. “Ego” in this
context refers to a sense-of-self that is derived from the societal
roles we play and the limiting thought-structures we have adopted. TET
is a clinical intervention that helps clients regain consciousness,
realigning them with their spiritual purpose.
As soon as we become aware of our spiritual essence and intent, we—once
again—can direct life effectively and create a meaningful existence.
TransEgo Therapy facilitates an awakening process in which
the client transcends the ego and becomes both observer and observee:
simultaneously experiencing the situation and viewing herself in
a
spiritual perspective. From that vantage point, she witnesses the
unfolding of an intrinsic healing process— insights emerge, emotional
blockages transform, and an altered state of being is reached.
TransEgo Therapy is an experiential clinical intervention. During the session, the therapist asks the client to step into the problematic situation. Subsequently, the client is invited to go into a meditative state and is guided to observe the challenging situation as a more conscious observer. To aid this process, the ever-active mind of the client is given assignments to “get out of the way.” From this place of “mindlessness,” the client releases Self-limiting subconscious thought-structures and allows a natural process of resilience to occur and wisdom to surface. Since the sequence is experiential in nature, the gains are not just on a cognitive level: the shifts are likely to be permanent.
TransEgo Therapy
is rooted in many therapeutic disciplines, such as Brief Outcome
Focused Therapy, Transpersonal and Positive Psychology, Focusing (Gendlin),
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Eye Movement Desensitization and
Reprocessing (EMDR), and Ericksonian hypnotherapy. TET
has a firm structure; however, whenever the client becomes aware of
a certain sensation or insight, the therapist allows space for
exploration—even if this interrupts the sequence. The format is
always secondary to the
client’s process. While TET was
developed for telephone sessions, it can easily be integrated in
traditional counseling. TET has been effective in people
struggling with a variety of concerns, ranging from deeply ingrained
emotional scars—“I
was able to deal with a deep core emotion; it was quite profound and
healing”—to
very
concrete and measurable performance issues.
Typically, TransEgo Therapy lasts three sessions, during
which the focus is diverted from the “problem” to what the client wants
to manifest. At the end of
the last session, the client and therapist may decide to continue. In
that case, the therapeutic relationship takes on the characteristics of
mindful Life Coaching.
