The Adult Chair Model
The Adult Chair® was and still is my compass to guide me on this journey of finding true healing from a lifetime of pain and trauma. After experiencing heartache, dating disappointment, and a lost sense of self, The Adult Chair helped me connect back to my true self and find my worth within. Through inner child work, finding self-love, and learning boundaries, I have turned my trauma into triumph, working daily to be a healthy adult with full awareness of my truth and value – and through The Adult Chair, you can do the same!
The Child Chair
Your inner child forms between ages zero and seven, and it is the foundation of your true feelings and needs. The inner child is deeply vulnerable, which makes it the source of deep, connected relationships. It is also where early wounding can occur, which shapes our view of the world as we grow up. When seated in the Child Chair, we find creativity, passion, spontaneity, trust, and intimacy.
The Adolescent Chair
In adolescence, you begin to develop your own identity and realize that you are separate and unique from the world around you. As the ego forms, so does the desire to protect yourself, whether the daggers are real or imagined. When seated in the Adolescent Chair, we become perfectionist, judgmental, and controlling, and we develop a mask to hide our authentic selves from a world that seems cold and rejecting. Most of us live from this place until we awake and decide we are ready to change.
Make it stand out
The Adult Chair
The Adult Chair represents your highest self: living in the present moment, dealing with facts and truth over stories and assumptions, and being able to set boundaries from a place of patience and compassion. While seated in the Adult Chair, we can deeply connect with our inner child’s needs and feelings and objectively observe our adolescent’s behaviors. It is here, and only here, that we can become aware of—and overcome—the emotional triggers and negative patterns that hold us back.

My coaching sessions with Laura were such a positive experience. She created a safe space for me, and really guided me towards addressing some topics I had not considered on my own. I felt so comfortable with her, and she made it easy to share my feelings. Laura also gave me some follow up tasks and suggestions, so I could continue the work on my own. I gained so much from my time with her!
