Professional certification · MythoSelf Process™
Certified MythoSelf Facilitator
Develop the capacity to facilitate generative change—and help others access an excitatory orientation for themselves.
The starting point
How is a person organized when they are at their best—open, resourceful, and able to engage what life presents?
Developed by Joseph Riggio, Ph.D., the MythoSelf Process™ begins by eliciting that experience. Through Personal Modeling, you learn to recognize its distinctive somatic and perceptual organization and make it accessible deliberately.
Your own experience is part of the training. You learn to access and sustain an excitatory orientation: an embodied readiness to perceive possibility, engage with circumstances, and participate with greater agency.
From that position, you develop the precision to facilitate others. You attend to the person in front of you, recognize what is changing, and create an intervention appropriate to the unfolding encounter.
The curriculum
Personal, Somatic, Semantic, and Systemic Modeling develop together as you learn to facilitate the MythoSelf Process™ with precision.
Develop direct access to your own resourceful organization and learn to elicit it in another person. Refine the sensory awareness that lets you notice the difference.
Learn to recognize how identity and behavior take form somatically. Attend to the bodily organization through which perception, meaning, and action become available.
Develop precision in language and nonverbal communication. Learn to work conversationally while remaining responsive to the person’s experience as it unfolds.
Bring the model into coherent facilitation. Refine your responsiveness to the person, their relationships, and the wider situation through practice and feedback.
These areas describe the training’s integrated curriculum. The sequence and delivery arrangements for each program are provided with its enrollment information.
The experiential foundation
You learn to elicit these experiences somatically, recognize their organization, and facilitate their integration.
An individual’s unique, somatically organized experience of how they most desire to be in the world.
An individual’s unique, somatically organized experience of that which transcends their individual self and gives their being meaning and significance.
A qualitatively new, embodied organization of being that emerges through the oscillation of GDS and GTS, generating an excitatory orientation from which the individual perceives, participates in, and acts upon the world with expanded agency and access to previously unavailable possibilities.
The essential distinction: INTENT! is the generative organization of being from which perception, choice, and action emerge. It is distinct from a goal, desire, or conscious intention.
How you learn
The training develops an embodied capacity through direct experience, demonstration, supervised practice, and individual feedback.
Participate in the process yourself. Recognize the shifts in your own somatic organization, perception, and availability to act.
Watch facilitation closely. Learn to distinguish the practitioner’s intervention from the response it elicits in the participant.
Work in participant and facilitator roles. Practice elicitation, tracking, conversational intervention, and integration.
Receive precise feedback. Develop reliable moves and the flexibility to create an appropriate application in the moment.
What develops through the work
Mytho2™ develops your ability to recognize and facilitate changes that can be observed in how a person organizes experience and participates.
Help the person recognize and return to an excitatory organization of being. Attend to their capacity to access and restore it for themselves.
Support emotional flexibility, so the person can use emotion as information while remaining available to perceive, choose, and respond.
Develop recognition of how the person’s own participation contributes to what occurs within a conversation, relationship, or situation.
Attend to what becomes available as the person’s organization changes: possibilities for participation within the relationship between that person and the situation.
Explore how choices and participation shape a trajectory—what an action makes possible, what it closes, and what follows.
Develop a broader range of expression through language, voice, movement, and behavior, responsive to the circumstances of the encounter.
Support the transfer of capacity to the person themselves. The central evidence is their ability to generate and access the excitatory orientation independently, with new possibilities for participation.
The professional standard
Certification as a MythoSelf Facilitator rests on observable moves that are persistent, reliable, and replicable.
Professional practice also calls for integrity, confidentiality, appropriate boundaries, respect for the participant’s agency, and continued development of your own competence.
Your professional pathway
Mytho2™ is the full facilitator qualification within the MythøGenX professional pathway.
It is for Serious Practitioners—coaches, consultants, advisors, clinicians, facilitators, and others working in human systems—who want to develop the capacity to facilitate the MythoSelf Process™ with others. Personal transformation remains an integral part of that professional development.
Foundational facilitation
Develop the ability to facilitate GDS, GTS, and INTENT! within an existing competent professional practice.
Certified facilitator
Develop generative interventions and transfer of an independently accessible excitatory orientation.
Advanced facilitation
Deepen the distinction between excitatory state and excitatory perception, and extend generative facilitation.
Foundations offers direct experience of GDS, GTS, and INTENT! for personal transformation. Mytho2™ develops the professional ability to facilitate the process with others and is assessed through demonstrated competence.
Mytho2™ builds on the foundational facilitation competencies developed in Fundamentals. Discuss your experience and current practice with us so that the appropriate entry point and preparation can be established.
Details for the next Mytho2™ program will be provided as the offering is confirmed. Use the Connect page to begin the conversation about your interest, preparation, and the next opportunity to train.
