About The Adult Chair
The Adult Chair® model incorporates a wide range of transformational tools to help you create a roadmap for life. Using The Adult Chair, I will guide you to learn self-compassion and how to love yourself to find greater peace and joy.
The three chairs described below provide a simple framework to help you better understand yourself.
The Adult Chair Model
The Adult Chair is a manual for your life. As a Certified Adult Chair® Coach, I use these tools to help individuals feel empowered and confident and find their healthiest, most authentic selves. Through personalized and experiential coaching, you will understand how your life experiences have shaped you, gain greater self-awareness, learn the path to better relationships, and learn how to respond to life in a healthy way.
The Child Chair
Your inner child forms between ages zero and seven, and it is the seat of your true feelings and needs. As young children, we are open to the world and internalize all of the messages we receive without discernment. This creates the roadmap for how we show up in the world. When seated in the Child Chair, we experience true emotions and needs and find creativity, passion, and joy. This is where we can change limiting beliefs and programs.
Using this coaching model, I will guide you to move into the Child Chair from your Adult Chair to help update any parts of your roadmap that no longer serve you.
The Adolescent Chair
From ages 7-24, the ego develops to help you fit in and stay safe and accepted. During adolescence, you begin to develop your own identity and realize that you are separate and unique from the world around you. As the ego forms, so does the desire to protect yourself. When seated in the Adolescent Chair, we may become perfectionists, judgmental, and controlling, and we develop masks to hide our authentic selves in order to stay safe. Most of us live from this seat until we awaken and decide we are ready to move into our true selves.
Using this coaching model, I will guide you to move into and out of the Adolescent Chair from your Adult Chair to meet and transform these unconscious parts that no longer serve you.
The Adult Chair
The Adult Chair represents your highest self: living in the present moment with fact and truth and setting boundaries knowing your own self-worth. 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.
Using this coaching model, I will guide you to live in your Adult Chair as the healthiest version of yourself.
