The Life Authoring Manual: An Integrated Approach to Personal Growth

THE LIFE AUTHORING MANUAL presents a self-coaching technique Pierre F. Walter has developed as a result of a prolonged sabbatical, a psychotherapy and a self-therapy with Transactional Analysis (TA). It was a process spanning over two decades and resulted in the author's changing his career, to become a training facilitator and life coach. The technique is less esoteric than many others that are fashionable today, solidly grounded in our own tradition, using a combination of story writing, positive affirmations and voice dialogue to heal the scars of trauma and abuse, raise emotional self-awareness, build vision and dramatically boost creativity and spontaneity through inner child recovery, healing and art work. People generally know what authoring is, as for example authoring a book. But can one author one's life? The author claims that the method has proven to work in his self-therapy, realizing that it facilitates overcoming child trauma and sexual hangups, resolving a 'reject complex' or a co-dependence or emotional abuse pattern, and helping to realize unused talents, virgin potential, or an 'old dream'. Life Authoring does not mean that people become fiction authors. No writing skill is needed, and writing style is not to be epic but flow-style, practicing a deliberate let-go attitude. When the old sages said that 'writing is healing', they alluded to the fact that our consciousness is self-healing, self-cleaning and self-renewing. This is, then, what Life Authoring can effect, a total transformation of the personality into something more coherent and more in alignment with the person's soul values. The result of such an integrative work will produce positive results on all planes, the professional, the financial, the intimate and the spiritual planes all at once.
