Transcendent Presence is awareness that is free from suffering and the illusion of separateness. Many sense it through meditation, in nature, through music or art, athletics, spontaneously, or through the use of psychedelic plants. Clients describe their awareness of Transcendent Presence as oneness, expansive, vast, boundless, open, blissful, free, aware. Many clients with early trauma come to therapy already equipped with Transcendent Presence Awareness. Presence Psychotherapy utilizes this to help regulate their trauma processing. Presence Prompts help clients easily sense Transcendent Presence.

Presence Psychotherapy offers an expanded understanding of Relational Presence. Traditionally, Relational Presence may be thought of as the therapist’s empathy, or the client’s compassion for themselves or traumatized parts of themselves. The concept of Relational Presence in Presence Psychotherapy is awareness of compassion or love toward or from someone or something. This may include the therapist, loved ones, animals (including pets), Spiritual Beings, objects, or themselves/traumatized parts of the self.

Grounded Presence is often sensed vertically, moving both downward to the ground & upward from the ground through the body. Grounding practices and Grounded Presence are different. Awareness of Grounded Presence can result from inviting a client to slow down and become present with the effect of a grounding exercise with Presence Psychotherapy Presence Prompts. Encourage clients to slow down and bring awareness to the subtle felt sense of groundedness in or around their bodies. Grounded Presence can result from following the Presence Prompts after a grounding practice.
