The Adult Chair
An Important Tool in Healing
The Adult Chair® is a simple, yet powerful tool. With courage, curiosity, and compassion, I chose to dive in and go on a rescue mission to find the little girl, the adolescent, and the woman that had been stuck and lost. I still use this model in my own journey, and I am passionate about guiding others.
Discover that girl inside: her joy, her dreams, and her victories! Live a beautiful, emotionally healthy life sitting in your Adult Chair.
The Adult Chair Model
The Adult Chair model is the way to approach your life and experiences with more compassion and curiosity. It gives us space to offer ourselves more grace, more love, and more healing.
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.
The Child Chair
Your inner child forms between ages zero and seven. Deeply vulnerable, this is where your true feelings and needs sit, as well as where your view of the world is recorded and shaped. It’s where your creativity, passion, spontaneity, trust, and intimacy live.
The Adolescent Chair
In 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. Your protector parts are seated in your Adolescent Chair and are unconsciously living in stories and assumptions, causing you to react rather than respond. It's here that we develop a mask to hide our authentic selves from a world that seems cold and rejecting. When seated in the Adolescent Chair, we become perfectionists, judgmental, and may experience anxiety, ruminating thoughts, people pleasing, control, avoidance, and anger. Most of us live from this place until we awake and decide we are ready to change.
The Adult Chair
The Adult Chair represents your highest self: living in the present moment, dealing with fact and truth, and living from a place of noticing. While seated here, 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.
