Patterns and beliefs
- Patterns and beliefsFeelings: five forces and what they tell youFeelings are not a disturbance to get rid of, but forces with a task. Each of the five basic feelings responds to an interpretation of its own: anger to “That’s wrong,” sadness to “That’s a pity,” fear to “That’s terrible,” joy to “That’s beautiful,” and shame to “Something’s wrong with me.” If you know them, you can use them instead of being driven by them or avoiding them.
- Patterns and beliefsPersonality models and profilingPersonality models describe the ways people consistently differ: how they gain energy, perceive, decide, and deal with others. Some sort people into types, others describe how strongly traits show up across several dimensions, and they rest on very different foundations. A profile is not a verdict on you, but an occasion to compare how you see yourself with how others see you, and to choose your patterns more consciously.
- Patterns and beliefsTransactional analysisTransactional analysis (TA) is a model of personality and communication founded by Eric Berne. It describes the inner states from which we think, feel, and act, how conversations succeed or go off the rails, and how patterns learned early on help write the story of our lives. Its goal is autonomy: being able to choose freely instead of reacting according to an old script.
Development and consciousness
- Development and consciousnessSpiral DynamicsSpiral Dynamics is a map of how the values and worldviews of people and communities develop as their life conditions change. It describes eight levels that alternately place the individual self or the community at the center. None is better than another: each is a meaningful response to certain conditions.
- Development and consciousnessStagesStages is a developmental model by Terri O’Fallon. It describes how, over the course of a life, the way people perceive and interpret themselves, others, and the world changes. The twelve researched stages arise from three simple questions, and Kim Barta has built on them a clear view of shadow: of the parts of us we don’t know yet.
Integral philosophy
- Integral philosophyIntegral coachingIntegral coaching applies Ken Wilber’s integral map to accompanying people. It looks at a concern from several directions at once: at inner experience, at body and behavior, at relationships with others, and at the structures a person lives in. This creates a more complete picture, and the paths that fit become easier to see.
- Integral philosophyIntegral philosophyIntegral philosophy is a map that Ken Wilber designed to bring together the many perspectives on people and the world. Its basic idea: all theories are true, but only partially. Under the abbreviation AQAL, it organizes five basic patterns, and anyone who uses it asks one question above all: What am I overlooking right now?
