Self-Transformation Work

What is Self-Transformation Work?

• Self-Transformation Work (STW) is one-on-one or group work to transform a dead-end way of living into one that engenders empowerment and a zest for life. The principles and methods of STW are derived from Coaching, Neurolinguistic Programming, and Hypnosis. Each of these schools overlaps one another and offers unique ways of changing our lives from the inside out with the assumption that our body’s physical state is intertwined with our thoughts and emotions. If we can change how we think, we can alter our emotions and our physical health.

Who is it for?

• It’s for you if you want to transform your outlook on life and are willing to take responsibility for your life, what you’re going through, and what you’re carrying instead of seeing outside forces as the reason for being where you are.

Why Self-Transformation Work?

• What’s the alternative if you stay where you are and do nothing? Follow this question to its logical end. In the end, we all kick the bucket, the question then is, when and how? Do you want to go continue on the trajectory you’re moving towards or will you take the first step to jolt yourself in a new direction with a fresh look on life? Self-Transformation Work is CPR for a disempowered life.
• Why STW over psychotherapy or traditional Coaching you might ask? Unlike traditional therapy’s focus on where you come from and why you are the way you are, through Self-Transformation Work as in Coaching, we focus on where you want to go. No matter how adept you get at eliminating what you don’t want, if you don’t know what you want, other bad habits will fill the void. Coaching helps define where you want to go but sometimes you need something more, to reach the subconscious behind the protective conscious layer. That’s where NLP and hypnosis fill the gaps to reprogram your way of interpreting the world so that the external world doesn’t have to change for you to transform.

How does STW work?

• Self-Transformation Work starts with a simple question – “What do you want?” We start from the present and move outwards. What do you want to feel now instead of what you are feeling? Why?
• My imperative as a guide is to teach you how to transform yourself, hence “Self-Transformation”. By working with you and teaching you so that you no longer need me. When you know how to ask yourself the right questions you will learn to see the blind spots that cause you frustration. Here’s the process:
• In one-on-one sessions, we start by uncovering who you want to become, how you want to see yourself, and what you want to see, hear, and feel around you.
• Next, we uncover what drives you, by answering why you want what you think you want. If you don’t know why you want what you want, then you don’t know truly what you want, hence this step is crucial.
• After that, we assess where you stand in relation to your desired state. What skills and experiences do you have that you can utilize and what is holding you back?
• Then we transform! When we have a crystal clear view of where you are and where you’re going, we tackle the barriers between you and your goal. By expanding your perspective through a myriad of methods like reframing, we will transform your perceived impediments into strengths. Through methods like Timeline work, you can rewrite your history through a narrative that empowers instead of debilitating you. When you change how you perceive your present and past, you change how you feel in the now and you feel empowerment.
• When you can see the road ahead and feel empowered to introduce change into your life, we finish up by defining the next step forward. What small change can you implement now, that will inch you closer toward your goal? What change will have the greatest impact? When you take the first step you feel the rush of dopamine, which is your body’s signal to keep going.
• From there it’s all building up momentum until the life you lived is seen as nothing more than a gift at that time, which motivated you to get you where you are meant to be.
