Psychosynthesis is a
comprehensive approach to self-realization and the
development of human potential. The essential aim of
psychosynthesis is to help people discover their true
spiritual nature, then to effectively utilize this
discovery in everyday life. Psychosynthesis helps us to
realize our creative potential, increase our ability to
function harmoniously in the modern world, and improve
the quality of all our relationships.
Psychosynthesis is a particular kind of psychotherapy,
yet it is more than psychotherapy. It is a
collection of techniques and exercises designed to help
us move away from what we don't want in our lives and
towards what we do. It is not just a theory, but is a
practical, working method that integrates principles and
techniques from many approaches to personal growth.
Unlike some other therapies, however, it has no fixed
idea of what someone 'should' be like - indeed, with
Psychosynthesis, it is quite the contrary. It is only
successful when we have become more what we want to be
like. This is not in the sense of gratifying unbalanced
or partial desires, but when we have become more able to
be ourselves in whatever situation we find ourselves,
and to do what we want to do when we tune into our
innermost sense of self and purpose.
