Dialogues
This is how the Option Institute website explains the dialogue:
-
“The The Greek philosopher, Socrates, used probing questions to challenge his students to discover their own answers. The Option Process Dialogue builds on his legacy by utilizing a highly respectful and effective system of questions asked with a nonjudgmental and nondirective attitude. Working with a skilled counselor, participants uncover and eliminate self-defeating beliefs and attitudes that have fueled discomfort, distress, and self-limiting behaviors and, in this way, learn to increase their sense of purpose, happiness, and personal power. ”
People who are certified to work with individuals using the dialogue are known as Option Process® mentors/counsellors.
In London we are lucky enough to have our very own certified Option Process® Mentor, Lawrence Chapman. Lawrence has recently launched his new business, offering personal fitness training, yoga and dialogues. See www.lawrencechapman.com.
