About The Adult Chair
I have seen for myself that people can go into an Adult Chair® session talking about something that is bothering them and come to a sense of resolution within a short amount of time. In allowing the process to take its course during the session, clients feel a sense of peace and freedom.
Most people find that they really do want to resolve things they are thinking about, but they don’t know how to do that. I am here to help with that. It’s much easier to tackle a problem with an unbiased life coach who cares and who wants the best for you, instead of by yourself.
The Adult Chair Model
The Adult Chair is a manual for your life. It’s a tool that helps you feel empowered, confident, and equipped with a clear roadmap to your healthiest, most authentic self. Through The Adult Chair, you will understand how your life experiences have shaped you, give a voice to the different parts of who you are, gain greater self-awareness, and respond to life in a healthy way.
Here is an outline of the different “chairs” we sit in while going through our lives. We usually don’t realize we are in these chairs.
child chair
Your inner child forms between ages zero and seven, and it is the foundation of your true feelings and needs. The inner child is deeply vulnerable, which makes it the source of deep, connected relationships. It is also where early wounding can occur, which shapes our view of the world as we grow up. When seated in the Child Chair, we find creativity, passion, spontaneity, trust, and intimacy.
ADOLESCENT CHAIR
In adolescence, you begin to develop your own identity. It’s the time in life where you realize that you are separate and unique from the world around you. As the ego forms, so does the desire to protect yourself, whether the daggers are real or imagined. When seated in the Adolescent Chair, we become perfectionist, judgmental, and controlling. We also develop a mask to hide our authentic selves from a world that seems cold and rejecting. Most of us live from this place until we awaken and decide we are ready to change, need to change, and want to change.
THE ADULT CHAIR
The Adult Chair represents your highest self: living in the present moment and dealing with facts and truth over stories and assumptions. It’s the chair we are in as we become able to set boundaries from a place of patience and compassion. While seated in the Adult Chair, we can deeply connect with our inner child’s needs and feelings and objectively observe our adolescent’s behaviors. It is here, and only here, that we can become aware of—and overcome—the emotional triggers and negative patterns that hold us back.
