Beside Yourself, Around Yourself and Back to Yourself

As you are reading this book, there are millions of life coaches, counselors, psychologists and other professionals out there, offering their services. Each of them is doing their job for their own motives - from those who are primarily motivated by money, to those who are motivated by passion, the need to use their knowledge for something good, and altruism. The latter is the reason this book came into existence. If it helps you help other people, that is sufficient for me. What I am about to describe in this book is a method I call "the separation method".
It is not a type of therapy, but an exercise that can be used in coaching, consulting, as well as in therapy; it is up to you, the professional, to find your own way of adapting it to whatever it is that you specialize in. You may wonder how I came up with it, and why I want to share it. It is all very simple - I came up with it after years of education and experience. I wish to share it because it can not do harm, but if done properly, it can help. Perhaps someone else has developed a similar method - that is quite possible. I have never heard anyone talk about it, nor did the professionals I have met. Therefore, I thought it would be a useful and interesting thing to share.
