Healing comes through embodiment of the soul. -Marion Woodman

Often time the fact that we are able to hold hope, that there is a possibility of getting better bodes well for the likelihood that we will get better. You want to heal. If we think of the ways in our life that are teleological, meaning like an acorn they hold the entire oak tree, holding within us the possibility of change, means we are already changing.

I can recall times while camping and hiking, of lighting fires in the wet or cold, and seeing that first flash of ember forming, that initial spark hitting fine tinder. What a fragile time! The ember will grow into a fire with nurturing, attention, careful timing, and and some magic.

Therapy is a place that can foster this process, which is relational process that unfolds over time. Reach out, let’s talk about how therapy can help.

Anxiety

The word anxiety even strikes a sharp splinter into a part of us. Palms sweat, Pulse quickens, thoughts race. Our stomach may quake and even force one to run bathroom.
Anxiety is a profoundly unraveling experience that strikes us at the core, spiraling through layers of biology and spirit.
Carl Jung wrote of the 2 thousand year old man. Our bodies carry centuries of experience and information. Within us is the consciousness of the ages.
Anxiety is a process rooted in our biology which is essential to embodied life. Who has not experienced anxiety? While anxiety is deeply disruptive and may have us questioning who we are, it can also function as a sort of compass. Anxiety may be calling you back to who you really are, your true self, which may have developed layers of false selves to survive difficult situations.

Therapy can help. We can work to understand the meaning of your anxiety, and hear the ways may be calling you back to yourself.
