Life Therapy Education (LTE) is a complete re-visioning of the meaning of three things: therapy, being human, and life. It re-visions therapy in its original meaning as a verb instead of an abstract noun. Life Therapy Education also re-visions being human in terms of being a holon. Being a human holon goes far beyond the common dualistic “body/mind” view presented in mainstream medicine, therapy, spirituality, and religion. Lastly, Life Therapy Education re-visions the meaning of life as fourfold: a condition, time period, narrative, and animating force. Let’s start with therapy re-visioned as a verb.
Therapy Re-Visioned As A Verb
Life Therapy Education re-visions therapy as a verb. It means to “attend to, serve, and care for.” It is not something you simply “go to.” Too often going to sessions and talking about your problems doesn’t really attend to, serve, or care for you. It can actually prolong your problems.
Life Therapy Education is something we do together. Together we attend, serve, and care for your life so that you can learn, heal, and grow as the unique human being you are—regardless of your age.
When you learn, heal, and grow, the quality of your life improves, and your symptoms lessen or resolve completely. I’ve witnessed this happen countless times with a numerous number of clients.
Re-Visioning What it Means to Be Human
Life Therapy Education is a complete re-visioning of what it means to be human. It views you as limited, holonic, and a living narrative. Your time, energy, capacity, life experience, knowledge, and skills limit you. I say more about this in the next section about the meaning of life.
You are also a holonic being. Being holonic means that you are far more than just a body and mind. You’re also far more than just a physical being. You are a unique living whole person that consists of countless smaller holonic parts and participates in multiple larger holons.
In addition to being limited and holonic, you are a living narrative. That means that you are a story in progress. You’re making up the story of your life one step at a time. You might make plans, but you never really know what your day will bring. When something happens that you didn’t plan, you’re forced to pivot and improvise.

The Meaning of Life Re-Visioned
Life Therapy Education re-visions your life as fourfold. It’s a condition, time period, narrative, and animating force. Your life is a condition. It’s the condition of being alive rather than not. That’s something to be wondered by. Wonder of wonders! Mystery of mysteries! You are alive rather than not, and you are not alone! Never take your condition of being alive for granted. It’s only for a time.
Life as a Time Period
In Life Therapy Education, your life is the time period from your birth and first breath to your last breath and death. You don’t know how much time you have. You could die today, tomorrow, in a month, a year, or after many more years. No one knows. You only know that you have no time to waste.
Life as a Narrative That is Your Self
As mentioned above, your life is a living narrative. It’s the story of your life that you make up as you go. Your life-narrative is your self. Your self is not a thing inside you. It’s not something you find. Your self is a narrative. That narrative is what remains here after you die. Make sure it’s a great, life-affirming story that others remember, talk about often, and incorporate into their own life-stories.
Life is an Animating Force, Your Human Spirit
Perhaps most important of all, in Life Therapy Education your life is an animating force that makes and keeps you alive. That animating force is your unique human spirit. It came to you from your birth parents and all your ancestors that preceded them. It has its own anatomy.
Your human spirit is located in the center of your chest, behind your breastbone. It’s the seat of your natural aspirations toward life, health, and happiness. It’s the seat of all that keeps you alive: your instincts, emotions, wordless inner knowing, and personal character.
The animating force of your human spirit is the focal point of Life Therapy Education. It’s the focal point because when your spirit is wounded or broken, it affects your whole life. It weakens and diminishes the quality of your life. When we attend to, serve, and care for your human spirit, you learn, grow, heal, and live a healthier, happier life, and realize your dream. To learn more about the fourfold meaning of your life, read The Meaning of Life in Life Therapy Education and my book Re-Visioning Spirit.
