I reminded myself again today just how well my therapeutic work, specifically the P.S.H. Therapy and the Body Psychotherapy work combine so well together. One is a great tool to bypass the intellect and drill down straight to the feeling cause of a problem (PSH) and the other is a great tool at keeping a… Continue Reading

Taking the Inner Risk that Heals
It takes courage for some people to come and see me for sessions. Even though a person may have a problem, whether it is mental/emotional/physical/spiritual or a health medical issue, that is the cause of great pain and suffering, it still can feel scary to have sessions. Even though you know it can help greatly… Continue Reading
“Learn to live with it”

The therapist cannot help the client in this space unless they are there in that state at the same… Continue Reading
The Thin Veil of our Inner Prisons
Imagine feeling a feeling or an emotion that feels painful and you decide – ‘Oh! I don’t like this feeling.’ And you quickly close it down to not feel it. ‘Oh! that doesn’t feel good, I don’t want to feel that!’ So you suppress it or deny it, or distract yourself with something else quickly… Continue Reading
Learning to be Comfortable with being Uncomfortable
A big key lesson I’ve learned over the years, with my own process as well as clients. Is that being a little bit uncomfortable in any situation is necessary for real change. It is very important to get comfortable with being uncomfortable or messy, for a short period. It’s like when you decide to renovate… Continue Reading
