Depth Coaching: Discovering Archetypes For Empowerment, Growth, And Balance

by Patricia R. Adson

Discover your own hero's journey and how to encourage others on their paths to self-understanding. In Depth Coaching, author Pat Adson explores the skills and attitudes needed to assist people in developing their full potential. As a detailed guide for therapists, life coaches and any one interested in helping others on the journey, this book provides the tools for an intense study of personal developmental issues. Based on the work of Carol Pearson, co-developer of the Pearson-Marr Archetype Indicator® instrument, Depth Coaching emphasizes the practice of positive psychology based on development rather than disease. Each section of the journey contains a workbook.

Initially resisting the call to become a life coach, author and psychologist Pat Adson discovered the rewarding benefits of helping others explore paths to meaning and balance. She notes, however, that this is a vocation undertaken only after one has fulfilled his or her own journey. Inspired by Carol Pearson's work with self-development through archetypes, Adson set out to explore her own "hero's journey." The result of her exploration is this step-by-step guide created for all who wish to take the journey or to coach others on their paths.

"Coaching as a discipline," Adson tells readers, "is a client-centered way of working with individuals to help them achieve their goals, balance their lives, and attain fulfillment. Coaching focuses on clients' lifelong development rather than the remediation of past wounds. The coach and client collaborate as partners or peers in a relationship that is symmetric rather than paternalistic.

Therapists, educators, and spiritual leaders will find Adson's methods useful in developing their own strengths as well as encouraging clients toward embarking on their personal journeys. Individuals and anyone who wishes to support themselves or others through growth and development will also find this work enlightening and helpful.

About the author

PATRICIA R. ADSON, PH.D., for her entire professional career, has been devoted to helping others discover their best selves. A former schoolteacher, Dr. Adson initially taught high school English, and social studies. While pursuing her Master's Degree in education, she began working with children with emotional and behavioral disorders. It was this experience that inspired her – at age 49 – to enter a Ph.D. program in Educational Psychology, where she also received training and licensure as a psychologist and psychotherapist, working with individuals, families, and groups.

Although she continued to be involved in the education of special education teachers and graduate students in psychology and counseling, Dr. Adson primarily began working as a psychotherapist after earning her degree. Hundreds of women sought her counsel, and while leading a therapy group Dr. Adson wrote the Princess story. Her goal was to help people examine neglected areas of their emotional lives, and learn to talk about self-care and self-responsibility. She used the story with her clients and graduate students for many years, and continued to use it with her clients when she made the transition from psychotherapist to coach.

With the help of her daughter, Jennifer Van Homer, herself a certified coach, Dr. Adson turned the story into a book with a journal that now gives each reader a chance to write their own story.

Dr. Adson is currently a Certified Hudson Institute Coach with a private practice, and serves on the Leadership Team of the Hudson Institute of Santa Barbara. She is the author of Finding Your Own True North & Helping Others Find Direction in Life (1999), and Depth Coaching: Discovering Archetypes for Empowerment, Growth, and Balance (2004).

اول از همه بگم که توضیح در مورد این کتاب خیلی مشکل هست و کپشن من قطعا نمیتونه معرفی کاملی باشه😬 و اینکه این کتاب مخصوص مربیانی هست که میخواهند از طریق کهن الگوها به مراجعانشون کمک کنند.کهن الگوها منابع درونی‌ای هستند که،می‌توانیم فعال‌شان کنیم و یا حداقل آن‌ها را بشناسیم و در طول راه و مسیر زندگی مارو راهنمایی کنند و در مسیر سفر زندگی هدایت‌کننده باشند.در این کتاب با ۱۲ الگو که به کهن الگوهای پیرسون معروف هستند، آشنا می‌شویم تا بتوانیم با توجه به آنها زندگی خودمان را بسازیم و اداره کنیم ولی وقتی از آنها اطلاع نداشته باشیم به جای اینکه ما آنها را زندگی کنیم آن‌ها ما را زندگی می‌کنند.پس مهم‌ترین هدف این کتاب آگاهی در مورد رفتار خودمان است که تحت تاثیر این کهن الگوها قرار می‌گیرد که می‌توانند تحت کنترل ما باشند.در واقع کتاب درصدد آن است که درمورد مسائل رشد عاطفی و اجتماعی و معنوی آگاهی دهد،که علاوه بر درمان زخم‌های گذشته،رشد مادام العمر هم کسب می‌شود.علاوه بر شناخت کهن الگوها خواننده در مسیر سفر قرار میگیرد که اولین مرحله‌ی آن «مرحله‌ی تدارک(من)»است که قهرمان آماده‌ی ترک کردن حالت وابستگی است و مرحله‌ی دوم «سفر روح(روح)» است که قهرمان سفر موهبت‌های خودش را کشف می‌کند و مرحله‌ی سوم «بازگشت(خویشتن)» است که قهرمان به جامعه بر می‌گردد و در واقع مرحله‌ی عملی کردن است.کتاب با شناسایی این‌ها به خواننده و تمریناتی که دارد کمک‌کننده هست.این کتاب از سری کتاب‌هایی است که براساس نظریات یونگ نوشته شده و یونگ معتقده که ما با الگوهای روانی از رفتار غریزی به دنیا می‌آییم و نقش خود فرد و تجربه‌اش و پرورش و بیدار کردن قابلیت‌های درونیش بسیار مهمه.باید قبلش تا حدودی با یونگ آشنا باشید،با دوستام که صحبت می‌کردیم،می‌گفتند که اولین کتابی که باید برای آشنایی بیشتر مطالعه بشه کتاب«یونگ شناسی کاربردی»هست و بعد باید سراغ بقیه‌ی کتاب‌ها رفت که البته خود پیج بنیاد فرهنگ زندگی هم میتونه کمکتون کنه و ترتیب مطالعاتی رو گذاشته.
