SECURE INSIDE—OUT

In Neuro-Semantics, we are considering developing a new certification process, something that will be on the order of Meta-Counseling (the name yet to be determined). This will stand in the area in-between coaching and therapy. It will be for those who are not quite ready for Meta- Coaching but who also are not really clients who need intense psychotherapy. Maslow noted, as many others have, that all of us have differing degrees of neurosis. And if it is a matter of degree, then there will be many in the no-man’s land somewhere in-between.

From the beginning of Meta-Coaching, I repeatedly noted that the key problem for someone who needs counseling or therapy is that for the most part they lack the ego-strength to face life’s challenges head-on. Part of the reason for this is that they are not “okay” within themselves and/or they are also living in the past. That’s where their energy and focus go—trying to finish some unfinished business so that they can live with their past as they focus on today and the future.
