Big Problems Need Big Perspectives
We are living in an increasingly polarized and divided world. We face challenges with our environment, our governments, our employees and colleagues, and in how we relate to our partners and families, our communities, and even in understanding our own most deeply-held beliefs.
We can’t fix a problem if we don’t understand what’s causing it, no matter how passionate or caring we may be.
This is as true in business leadership as it is in one-on-one therapy or coaching, education, or in addressing existential environmental issues.
STAGES allows us to view our world through a lens that honors complexity — so our solutions can address the roots of the problem and therefore take hold more deeply and effectively.
Terri O’Fallon, PhD
STAGES evolved through Terri’s decades of research and experience and her integration of this data with other evolutionary models, such as Ken Wilber, Jean Gebser, Susanne Cook-Greuter, and Jane Loevinger. STAGES includes the most comprehensive understanding we have of the complete human: psychological, biological, cultural, and spiritual.
Kim Barta, MA
Kim’s specialty is psychological shadow and its resolution. He developed several new therapeutic practices that lead to deep and rapid healing, proving themselves effective with a wide range of issues. He brings nuance and direct application into the STAGES model, allowing it to be integrated into the world of psychotherapy and coaching.
