    • Two Dimensions of Growth
      • Dimations
        • Personal
        • Transpersonal
      • Rather than ridding pain, perceive wider, inclusive perspective
        • Why? (future possibilities)
        • What is the purpose here?
        • What potential is contained within this problem?
        • Where can it lead us?
      • Frame experience in a transpersonal context
      • Compassion, self-love is are two dimensional qualities
    • Bi-Focal Vision & Experiences of M/B/F Interplay
      • If the coaching relationship adheres to the principles of bifocal vision, of seeing
        • the best in the client
        • and of non-judgemental,
        • empathetic understanding
      • individuals can be empowered
        • to believe in themselves,
        • to take responsibility for changing what does no work for them
        • and to make constructive choices for their way forward in life
    1. Think of an event/situation/process in your life which you are able to describe in terms of ‘bifocal vision’ and the ‘two dimensions of growth’.
    • If you cannot think of an event/situation/process for yourself, reflect on an observation of someone else in your life / a fictional character from a book/film/tv show, etc.
    • (Top tip - may be useful embarking on your autobiography first to help generate ideas.)
    • Handling the difference in desires with my position in the company.
      • Tribes
      • Self-deceptions
    1. Think of a significant event/situation/process in your life where you have noticed an interplay between your thoughts / feelings / physical sensations.

    • 2 dim growth - Molly j bown

  • Opportunity for feedback on the workbook?

    • 5 mins at end of personal tutoring
