Don Mullen

Don is a psychedelic coach, with a certification from ThirdWave’s Psychedelic Coaching Certification program. Don has training in Co-Active Coaching, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Focalizing (a somatic body-focused healing practice), NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming), Non-Violent Communication, and Sociocracy. His own spiritual healing path includes a 25 year contemplative practice that includes studying mysticism and non-dual wisdom transitions and teachers, participating in Zen Buddhist 7-day Silent Sesshin and 10-day Tibetan Buddhist silent retreats, and working with a healer steeped in the Lakota healing traditions and deep nature connection. Don has recently incorporated QiGong as part of his own self-care practices. My Transformational Growth Framework is a holistic approach that seamlessly blends my training in Co-Active Coaching and the Psychedelic Coaching Institutes Coaching Framework , offering a unique and powerful coaching experience. 1. Co-Creative Awareness: At the heart of this framework lies the Co-Active principle that clients are naturally creative, resourceful, and whole. I begin by fostering a co-creative partnership, where I help clients tap into their inner wisdom, honing their self-awareness through introspection and, where appropriate, the insights gained from psychedelic experiences. This fusion of internal and external awareness fuels their journey. Awareness Brings Understanding! 2. Self-Regulation and Mindful Integration: Building on the Co-Active foundation, I work closely with clients to delve into self-regulation—equipping clients with tools to navigate the complexities of their emotions and physiology. Drawing from the Psychedelic Coaching Institute's Coaching Framework, we discuss and acknowledge how psychedelics can impact self-regulation. Clients learn to harness this newfound awareness to integrate profound insights into their everyday lives, creating lasting change. 3. Motivation Unleashed: Motivation takes center stage, aligning with Robert Fritz's insights on the creative orientation. Clients transcend mere willpower, discovering a deeper, intrinsic motivation. Their vision is crystal clear, rooted in their psychedelic experiences and internal wisdom. Together, we harness the tension between their current reality and their desired future, propelling them forward without force (the essence of Taoist WuWei). 4. Integration and Wholeness: Integration extends beyond personal growth. I guide clients through the process of alchemizing their psychedelic insights. Together, we navigate challenging, enlightening, and seemingly trivial revelations. We leverage IFS (Internal Family Systems) to get in touch with authentic Source energy, and have Focalizing body-awareness sessions that tap into the wisdom of Soma (mind/body/spirit). This journey towards self-wholeness paves the way for authentic, enriching interpersonal relationships. 5. Collective Impact: The framework extends beyond individual growth. Clients are encouraged to explore their role in the broader world, aligning their personal development with collective healing. Psychedelics often forge connections to nature and humanity. We empower clients to channel this connection into positive, meaningful contributions to society and the environment. We are the medicine! The Transformational Growth Framework offers a comprehensive coaching experience that honors the client's uniqueness while integrating the profound insights and tools drawn from many modalities. It's a journey towards self-realization, self-regulation, and collective betterment—a journey that transcends the traditional coaching landscape.
