Association of Transpersonal Therapies (ATT)

Psychotherapy and Spirituality
Transpersonal means beyond what we believe we are. It means integrating our soul in what we name psychology. Until recently, the soul was excluded from the science of psychology. Psychology meant only the study of the mind. Transpersonal means the study of the Human Being as a whole : body, mind, soul.

ATT’s activity is to work toward discovering the power of bringing together both psychological and spiritual principles in the process of healing and growth. Classical psychology tends to focus more on what has gone wrong: how we have been wounded in our relations with others and how to go about addressing that. Spiritual work focuses more on what is intrinsically right: how we have infinite resources at the core of our nature that we can cultivate in order to live more expansively. As John Welwood says in his latest book "Perfect Love, Imperfect Relationships", "psychological work thins the clouds, spiritual work invokes the sun". ATT's aspiration to help people live their spiritual dimension is nothing but a specific need of human nature. The Transpersonal Therapies that ATT is proposing are those which are trying to free repressed emotions and blocked energies. And by experiencing the opening of the consciousness, we contact our essence and integrate this new dimension in our body and in our daily lives

Psychologists, psychiatrists, educators, physicians, nurses, social workers, artists and students are among the, so far, 27 members of ATT.

Even from the beginning of its existence, ATT concentrated on experiential work. Therefore, it organized many workshops, seminaries, conferences and meeting with therapists all over the world. And because there is not only one way to go beyond the narrow frontiers of ordinary conscience, ATT offers the possibility of exploring more methods that lead towards an extended consciousness and towards our wholeness. Together with well known therapists from all over the world, ATT organized workshops such as: Holotropic Breathwork, Shaking, Shamanism, Psychosomatics, Psychodrama, Dao Yin, The power of the Present, Couple Therapy, 5 Rhythm Dance, Spiritual Astrology, Zen Meditation, Non Violent Communication.

As from now, ATT plans to have at least one experiential workshop per month.

There is great thirst and huge hunger for spirituality in Romania and we are happy that ATT can contribute, even a little bit, toward satisfying these divine needs.
