More than 30 years of practice as a psychologist has taught me that true healing arrises within a deep and trusting relationship with each individual, couple and group with whom I work. Our thinking mind is a marvelous tool when it is used appropriately. But the deeper problem is that the thinking mind can keep us locked into our stories of either the past or the future. Much of the work is about exploring ways to become more present in life and release the historic patterns and beliefs that keep us stuck in the illusion of separation from one another. Just take a moment and notice the stream of thoughts flowing through the brain that have no relevance to our awareness of what is happening right now! It is the times when we fight with our present experience that we call ourselves anxious, depressed or any of the other labels. The thinking mind often blocks our experience of happiness. Our work together would be to notice the space between words that holds the voice of loving kindness that constantly reminds us of our connection with all things and our moment to moment need to be merciful and forgiving of ourselves.
