John Amodeo Coaching

We are drawn by the irresistible pull of love and connection, yet we also long for inner peace and stillness. These apparent opposites seem irreconcilable—until we realize that our longing for intimate bonds and spiritual liberation emanates from the same sacred impulse. Pursuing a spiritual path while embracing our humanity moves us beyond our stuck places toward rich relationships and intimacy with all things.

In this innovative, practical book, John Amodeo shows how emotionally nourishing relationships and spiritual development are two sides of the same coin of awakening. He suggests that the Buddha’s teaching about the root of suffering is often misunderstood. It is not desire and attachment that cause suffering; desire is the fire that springs from the basic life force.

Drawing upon the science of attachment theory, Amodeo illuminates how suffering spreads when we’re disconnected from ourselves and others—and is fueled by clinging to an array of habits and beliefs that divert us from a deeper intimacy with life.

In a warm, conversational tone, Amodeo presents relationships as the ultimate spiritual practice. We move toward emotional and spiritual maturity as we mindfully uncover, welcome, and convey our deepest feelings and tender longings. Guiding us on this healing and transformative journey is this book’s purpose. By bringing loving-kindness to wha,

John Amodeo

COACHING

The art of living a fulfilling life is challenging. The coaching service I offer is intended to help you contact your inner creativity and find ways to move forward in your life. Tapping into your potential and inner wisdom can help deepen your relationships and free up stuck energy so that you may blossom and live a more fulfilling life.

These sessions are intended to refine self-understanding, facilitate self-discovery, deepen your spiritual practice, and help you move toward your goals. These sessions are not intended to be psychotherapy. In personal coaching sessions, I will act as your coach, not your therapist. These sessions are not intended to serve as a substitute for psychotherapy.

Our focus will be on the present rather than delving into your personal history, diagnosing or uncovering pathology, or addressing mental or emotional disorders. A referral may be offered or suggested if these services are needed.

One tool I use is the transformative approach known as Focusing, which is a body-mind process developed by Dr. Eugene Gendlin. This is a gentle way to meet our inner experience with kindness and acceptance. Such self-acceptance and self-understanding create a foundation for positive change.

My fee for a 50 minute coaching session is $250.
