A sense of meaning may be lost and the
inner source of creative potential can no longer be accessed.
There may be a longing to improve relationships. Out of these
(often painful) experiences people increasingly have a need to
understand themselves and the events in their lives more clearly
and to gain insights that can help them discern what is truly
important in their lives.
Biographical counselling employs conversation,
artistic and personal biographical research processes with the
counsellor's guidance. Insight can be gained into the
universal laws underlying human development in body, soul and
spirit, providing the basis for understanding what unique issues
and tasks are attempting to emerge in a particular individual's
life. Psychological, social and spiritual aspects are taken into
account and both past and present circumstances are explored from
many different points of view.
Different life phases and their
interrelationships are also considered. This groundwork
creates a space in which the fullness of a human biography can be
explored and affirmed. This process has the potential to
bring renewed strength and confidence, empowering each individual
to take on their lives in a new way and to shape their own path of
growth and development.
