Spirituality

Maybe your spiritual practices aren’t serving you so well these days…

Are you falling into darkness again?

The inner storms are raging, and no amount of grounding or “moving past” the emotion is working.

The techniques you’ve learned aren’t effective anymore, and you’re feeling alienated by your spiritual community.

They just tell you to “manifest” the life you want, and you’ve tried, but it just isn’t happening according to the script.

Do morbid thoughts consume you?

You’ve suffered a loss, and the meaning in your life has disappeared.

You’re becoming obsessed with the pointlessness of life, and you wonder why any of us do what we do each day.

There’s a deep pain inside that seems to emanate from your core.

While meditation is helpful, you really need to talk to somebody who understands.

Are you unsatisfied and restless in your life?

Life is bland and monotonous. Like a hamster on the wheel, you think: “This can’t be it.”

You’re facing a pivotal life decision: get married, take the promotion, buy a house…

But something inside doesn’t feel right. You know you need to talk to someone.

Do you want to unleash your potential but feel empty instead?

You’re at the top of the class or a leader in your field, but no matter how much you push, the ever-greater heights don’t seem to fill in the void inside.

You’ve just been recognized once again for your efforts. But the praise – while once so sought after – has become a hollow reminder of what’s missing.

It’s been worthwhile to push ahead but no longer – you know there’s something more to living.

Everyone in your life is on the same track. To step off your path of success would seem ludicrous to them.

But you know a major shift is happening inside you, and it’s scaring you. You want to talk to someone who understands and can help you understand what’s happening.

Something isn’t right…

You feel awful, and the universe isn’t delivering like it’s supposed to.

Are you at the point where you’re wondering if it’s YOU? Maybe you’re not trying hard enough?

Whatever the case, you’re probably tired of it all… maybe even “over it.”

The existentialism of your youth is being reawakened…

Thoughts of your mortality keep you awake at night…

The mantras and the endless mindfulness and meditation seem so fake now…

It’s not working. Nothing is.

Oddly… paradoxically… the answer is to let go.

Like shedding a coat on a warm day… you just… slip it off.

I know what you’re thinking…

HOW? If it were that easy, I’d have done it a long time ago!!

I agree. But here’s the issue…

So much of your identity is tied up in your spirituality, so it’s hard to feel like you have PERMISSION to let it all go.

Plus, think about it: Did the Buddhist path you learned about end in forced humility and false equanimity?

No. The path keeps going… up and down. And the healing journey you’re on now leads right into the middle of your soul. It runs right into your authenticity, your desire, and your love.

“Ignore the pain and focus on the positive.”

I know that’s what you were probably taught, but it’s led to “spiritual bypassing.”

The path to your salvation isn’t through pushing down the negative. It’s through EMBRACING it!

There are no bad parts to you… only an injured child in need of some parental love from YOU.

The most powerful tool in your healing journey is acceptance of yourself.

It’s about your capacity to listen to yourself, cry when you need to, and be with it all.

In our work, you won’t be alone. When you’re too scared to look, I’ll remind you that I’m right there with you.

I’ve been scared out of my boots, too. But what got me through was a compassionate guide, a caring therapist who taught me how to sink into myself and shed my baggage.

He taught me how to let go and just see myself for who I was: just another human being,

And you are the same – no more, no less…

Underneath the shame, melancholy, grief, and rage, you’re just like me.

Alive.

And after the grief… past the horror… there’s light stillness.

There’s hope.

There’s what you’ve been looking for your entire life – that primordial love that you’ve somehow forgotten.

There you’ll find that “thing that’s always been missing.”

It’s you… the REAL you.

The road back home is through yourself.

With gentle and inquisitive therapy, I’ll steward you back into your life.

Trust me: This road is a lot easier to navigate with a companion. Let me hold the flashlight sometimes. It’s okay.

We were meant to be at peace with ourselves, our life, and our death.
