WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND META-THERAPY TRAINING

Now you would think that after all of the emphasis we put on distinguishing coaching and therapy, that I would be the last person to encourage you to attend the new Meta-Therapy training. But no. Actually, I’m the first person to encourage you to do that. “Why you ask?” “How can that be?”

While I wrote the book Meta-Therapy and have designed the training on Meta-Therapy primarily for therapists and people in the mental health field, it is not exclusively for them. Actually, it is for anyone who wants to understand their own mental health, well-being, and how to facilitate mental well-being in others—friends, colleagues, family members, children, etc.

From the very beginning of Meta-Coaching in 2002, we have distinguished key factors that determine a person’s readiness for coaching in contradistinction to therapy. Three conditions stand out: ego-strength, good sense of self, and living in the present. Of course, none of these are absolutes, all are relative. Each one is a matter of degree. That’s why in your ACMC manual, there is a pattern, “Strengthening Ego-Strength.” That’s right, a person’s strength of self (ego) can be strengthened! And you can coach a person to experience that strengthening.
