Professional Training for Clinicians:

I am deeply committed to continuously learning, embodying and teaching the great wisdom traditions, philosophies, theories and practical applications that inspire great psychotherapeutic transformations. I will be delighted to train your team of clinicians and practitioners in the art and science of this beautiful and sacred work. 

The art and science of bringing together Process-Experiential, Mind-Body approaches to psychoterapy, including Gestalt, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Focusing and Mindfulness

 

     Mind-body, process-experiential and mindfulness-based approaches to therapy are extraordinarily effective healing modalities, empowering as well as enjoyable. Both clients and therapists may often enter a lovely and meaningful process of transofmration, growth and awe when such approaches and practices are applied gently and skillfully. 

The Art of Mindfulness - Inquiry- and acceptance-based practices, and the wisdom to flow between them

 

     Over the last decade, mindfulness practices promoting a friendly relationship with our psychological experiences have become more central to most therapeutic modalities. This development has also highlighted the distinct roles in psychotherapy of mindful inquiry, on the one hand, and mindful acceptance, on the other. Mindful acceptance is willing present moment awareness at the service of letting go of unhelpful behaviors and engagement in new value-based actions. Mindful inquiry is a present moment, compassionate search for the ‘source wisdom' fueling the unhelpful behaviors so as to defuse its intensity and power to control a person’s actions. For clinicians, learning both approaches and the flow between each is empowering and most beneficial. 

Cultural diversity and shared humanity: The relative and the absolute in psychotherapeutic transformation

       

     Most practitioners in the helping professions are deeply aware and commited to understanding, respecting and honoring cultural differences and influences on psychological development and change. Similarly, most people committed to psychological and spiritual work are also profoundly aware of the universality of the human experience and the  importance of hightening awareness of sameness and shared humanity as part of our transformative process. For clinicians, learning practices and processes that honor, contact and comprehend experientially both these fundamental aspects of the human experience, is empowering and most beneficial.
