What Is Biography Therapy?

The Origins of Biography Therapy by Rudolf Steiner

The Therapeutic Process in Biography Therapy
The process of Biography Therapy is both reflective and forward-looking, helping you to integrate past experiences and plan for a fulfilling future.
Understanding Life Stages: The Seven-Year Cycles
In Biography Therapy, life is viewed as a series of seven-year cycles, each representing a distinct phase of growth and development. By reflecting on these stages, you can identify the key events and challenges that have shaped your journey.
