Coma and Vegetative States Work

What I find most meaningful and exciting about coma work is when a seemingly unreachable person suddenly connects with me or a family member in a powerful or moving way, and when that connection becomes a pathway for communication and recovery.

Coma work helps bridge the frequently large gap in connection and communication that occurs when a loved one becomes comatose or falls into a persistent vegetative state.

Based on the groundbreaking work of Arnold and Amy Mindell, process oriented coma and vegetative states work is based on the Mindell's observations that patients in highly withdrawn or seemingly uncommunicative states nevertheless value contact, have meaningful experiences, and even communicate in subtle non-verbal ways.

Here is a clip of Arnold Mindell speaking of coma work:

Process oriented coma and vegetative states work is a non-invasive, natural, and humane way to enhance connection and communication, amplify subtle signals, and unfold processes that occur for your loved one. Examples of meaningful processes that I've encountered include: the search for love, rest, and power. Some of these experiences were implied, some were quite clear. Once, working with a client who had become comatose, I aided her in becoming communicative via a binary, yes and no, form of signaling her wants and desires. She sought more love, even in the ICU! I worked with another client and his arm movements. After a period of time his gestures developed into consistently wanting to hit me, and this expression of power became his avenue for recovery.
