Transformative Learning and Paradigm Shifts – One
Posted on | July 2, 2011 | No Comments
We cannot contemplate a real change by being heavily defended in our status quo beliefs. Mindful learning that creates great life changes is being open to other new beliefs and perspectives, as well as the ability to explore new information but not getting stuck in one’s own preexisting mindsets. The clients in my groups, were able to reflect more deeply upon their own lives and the consequences of their choices. Being able to compare their lot with others, they were presented with new information. Other clients in similar situations offered new and tantalizing information. This sharing was the first stage in reflection and as they became less defended in their choices and behaviors were able to look at new concepts offered by me and other facilitators who might have appeared as very dissimilar in personality or goals.
