How can I help you, REALLY?

When people leave my office and I’ve done my job well, they feel EXCITED, NERVOUS, INSPIRED and AWARE of themselves in a totally new way.   

People come in deep pain or suffering, feeling numb or disconnected, feeling depressed, stuck, or angry and they need someone to help them SEE what’s driving these patterns before they can change them. 

What I do for my patients is sometimes REALLY difficult to explain.  I help people with a huge variety of health issues, mental-emotional pain, feeling depressed and stuck, and relationship struggles, I love it all.  The reason that I have a hard time pinning down one type of problem or one type of person that I can help is that the PHILOSOPHY and METHOD of what I do is….ANY problem a patient comes in with is a “way in”.

What I mean by a “way in” is that any problem that a patient has will lead us to the deeper layers of internalized, unconscious patterns that are keeping them stuck.  Any story, example, or narrative that they may have come into the office with is what we will use to TRACK back into their own wounding and pain that they may not see….because it’s unconscious.

The process of tracking those patterns from the outside world to the patient’s inner world is the KEY to uncovering the unconscious, internalized painful patterns and energetic CONTRACTS that we’ve all made to keep ourselves OUT of the painful places (even though what ends up happening is we repeat our painful experiences over and over again). 

MY job is to be the expert TRACKER, the person who can help you navigate the self-created defenses (the WALL is another word for this) and ultimately find the WOUND underneath these defenses. We work on opening up to the wound and then ask higher self or The Universe to reveal the healing and connection underneath.

 How does this happen?

We start with discussing WHY someone is feeling bad/stuck/painful….often why they are really stuck is DEEPER than we think it is when we first start talking.  We will discuss your STORIES/NARRATIVES about how you think, see, feel and react to situations that are “triggering” to you in life. 

We often find there are one or two CORE THEMES of painful past experiences or dysfunctional patterns that are driving our actions and reactions but even if we KNOW about these patterns (or have talked them to death with a therapist) we may not FEEL them or know how to RELEASE yourself from their grasp on your life. 

The METHOD of tracking is really hearing the story, tracking my own feelings and patterns in myself at the same time, and asking my higher self or Spirit to reveal and uncover the healing that needs to happen under the WOUNDED painful places.  I will sometimes see images, hear specific messages, or be asked to do bodywork to help someone take the plunge into the next phase of healing and releasing these patterns. 

I will give specific HOMEWORK which usually includes challenging questions or prompts to think about (or journal) and assignments to start bringing these wounded parts forward for healing inside ourselves and our relationships with others. We also work with healing patterns of dysfunction with money, rage, abuse, work, you name it!

Is this process painful sometimes?  Yes, but you are ALREADY in deep pain and doing the same things you’ve been doing for years are not helping get you OUT. 

There’s a TRICKSTER energy or archetype at play here.  This TRICKSTER (a universal part of the psyche) is keeping us stuck in the painful patterns BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. 

And he’s doing a great job because you’re still stuck and you’re here seeking help.  I will help you track down and DEFEAT this trickster energy inside of you…you will see this mechanism unwind and feel EMPOWERED instead of a victim to your life.

In a nutshell, it’s time to let yourself get OFF the Hampster Wheel of terrible painful suffering and start living again!!!
