The Art of Transformation in Therapy and Coaching

The Art of Transformation in Therapy and Coaching brings Virginia Satir’s pioneering work and timeless principles to life for today’s therapists, coaches, and leaders seeking to foster authenticity, emotional resilience, and connection in individuals, families, and organizations.

Dr. Darya Haitoglou integrates contemporary insights from neuroscience, trauma theory, and systemic coaching to create a comprehensive roadmap for facilitating deep transformation. Building on Satir’s Growth Model, this book combines foundational theory with over 20 years of applied experience, blending clarity of explanation with hands-on tools and case studies. Dr. Haitoglou’s original framework (the Stasis-Kinesis Model) expands Satir’s work into a multidimensional, trauma-informed, and embodied process of change, demonstrating how congruence, self-worth, and relational awareness can transform even the most complex systems. This book bridges theory and practice through vivid metaphors such as the Iceberg and Mobile, step-by-step exercises, and protocols for both individual and group work, offering readers an integrative approach to sustainable healing and growth.

Accessible yet rigorous and experiential, this book stands as both a reference and an inspiration for professionals dedicated to cultivating authentic, compassionate, and lasting change with their clients.
