## Definition

**Hakomi** is a therapeutic modality — a named discipline for inner work — referenced in this channel's material as part of the personal-growth practices (alongside Jungian dream analysis and living records of therapy) that executive coach **Steve Schlafman** explores using an AI subscription.

In this channel's material, **Hakomi** comes up in the context of *Every* episode 51, where **Steve Schlafman** — former VC, executive coach, and founder of Downshift — walks through the tools and practices he uses for personal growth with a ChatGPT subscription[^b5ece131-b6dd-5800-8dc9-f7b4c9d794bd@0]. Hakomi belongs to the same family of inner-work practices he discusses: Jungian dream analysis, integration of peak experiences, living records of therapy, and voice-first thinking.For anyone exploring how a model can support personal growth, Hakomi is one of the **established therapeutic disciplines** that a practitioner can draw on — and, in this material, potentially feed or extend with reflective practices like journaling, dream work, and voice memos. Understanding what it names helps you see the boundary between an established modality and the AI-assisted workflows built around it.- **Hakomi** names a therapeutic discipline referenced in the context of Steve Schlafman's personal-growth practice.- It sits alongside Jungian dream analysis, integration of peak experiences, and living therapy records as part of his inner-work toolkit.- The episode pairs such practices with the honest limits of doing inner work with an LLM — AI coaching helps in some places and still needs a human in the loop.
