I'm so honored to have used IFS in my practice for years and now I can say that I've completed the Level 1 training! In my opinion, Internal Family Systems is one of the most efficacious approaches to mental health. IFS de-pathologizes our inner human experience and addresses the spiritual and transpersonal aspects which are so common to us, though not usually addressed in mental health settings.

A legit alternative to "resolutions" for the New Year.

I’m often asked about how I approach New Year’s resolutions. The truth is that I no longer approach them at all, even though I did for decades. Why the change? I have found “past year reviews” (PYR…

I know it's hard with so many people around, but usually a short walk past a trailhead will bring you to a place of (semi) solitude. Poets, mystics and scientists all confirm the benefits of being in Nature.

When the mind is festering with trouble or the heart torn, we can find healing among the silence of mountains or fields, or listen to the simple, steadying rhythm of waves. The slowness and stillness gradually takes us over. Our breathing deepens and our hearts calm and our hungers relent. When serenity is restored, new perspectives open to us and difficulty can begin to seem like an invitation to new growth.

This invitation to friendship with nature does of course entail a willingness to be alone out there. Yet this aloneness is anything but lonely. Solitude gradually clarifies the heart until a true tranquility is reached. The irony is that at the heart of that aloneness you feel intimately connected with the world. Indeed, the beauty of nature is often the wisest balm for it gently relieves and releases the caged mind.

I know this message cuts deeply into our cultural program, but really, how long can we keep this up? Are you ready to give up the quest for perfection, for “success”, for some kind of Insta-recognition? Are you wanting instead to just be who you authentically are? Self knowledge is a journey and a task. It’s why we are here. If this speaks to you, if you’re curious, book a free consultation in the bio link.

Here’s a fascinating planetary look at our contemporary times and the struggles in which we are immersed. Richard Tarnas, author of the extraordinary book Cosmos and Psyche, is the best in his field.
He talks slowly, perhaps bump up the speed to 1.25.

Important words from an important sage for these times...

Each one of us is alone in the world. It takes great courage to meet the full force of your aloneness. Most of the activity in society is subconsciously designed to quell the voice crying in the wilderness within you. The mystic Thomas a Kempis said that when you go out into the world, you return having lost some of yourself. Until you learn to inhabit your aloneness, the lonely distraction and noise of society will seduce you into false belonging, with which you will only become empty and weary. When you face your aloneness, something begins to happen. Gradually, the sense of bleakness changes into a sense of true belonging. This is a slow and open-ended transition but it is utterly vital in order to come into rhythm with your own individuality. In a sense this is the endless task of finding your true home within your life. It is not narcissistic, for as soon as you rest in the house of your own heart, doors and windows begin to open outwards to the world. No longer on the run from your aloneness, your connections with others become real and creative. You no longer need to covertly scrape affirmation from others or from projects outside yourself. This is slow work; it takes years to bring your mind home.
