And what if
Perhaps what people say about this stage of life is true after all. Turning inward.Holding fast to simple truths.Carefully filtering out everything that lacks the flavor of an authentic life.That deep feeling of, I don't care what happens. That's exactly where I find myself now. And the truth is, it's incredibly liberating. During my most recent visit to the College of Mediums in England, I took the most important course I've taken so far. Not only because it gave me another

Responsibility
What am I inviting you to take responsibility for? 1. Your faucet of guilt and regret.They’ve been leaking into every corner of your life for far too long. It's time to turn off the tap—completely. 2. Your boundaries.The boundaries you need to set with your own tyrannical mind. It’s time to stop the constant fearmongering and relentless self-judgment, whatever it takes. 3. Your fear of believing in goodness.Of trusting the extraordinary sweetness you were born with. It's asto

A Few Words About Being Single and Child-Free
I've been meaning to write this post for a long time because I truly believe it's needed. Today, at least a third of the work I do in my practice is with women who are single, for many different reasons. Sometimes it's a conscious choice to live without a partner or children. Sometimes it's because their relationships never grew into lasting partnerships. Sometimes it's because their attempts to become a parent on their own haven't yet succeeded. Every story is different. But

Activists in reality
Good people do not become less good when the world becomes cruel. Humane and compassionate people do not lose their compassion or humanity simply because disasters and crimes unfold around them. This is a kind of built-in fear that has been surfacing often in the clinic, especially in sessions with activists struggling through this during this complicated period, when the world can seem morally bankrupt and caring people experience genuine anguish. To all of them, I find mys

Trembling under supervision
In a perfect world, we wouldn’t need help to wake up. We wouldn’t need upheaval or crises to open our eyes, nor pain to push us into new places. But human beings are built differently. Most of our inner receptors are still tuned to fear rather than pleasure. Our desires revolve around survival, which is always driven by fear. We may occasionally feel like having good sex, taking a trip to the Caribbean, or eating an elaborate meal. Sometimes we manage to overcome the rest of

Stand out
Apparently, what they say about this age is true. The turning inward, the attachment to simple truth, the active filtering-out of anything that lacks the flavor of honest living, the deep sense of no longer caring about what’s expected… all this is exactly what’s hap pening now. And the truth is that it feels like a great light. I too grew up inside the centrifuge that destroys anything different or unfamiliar; the eternal desire to be and do what’s expected, accepted and fa

It's Love on the table
Let’s put love on the table for a moment. Let’s measure it a little, weigh it, and give it the kind of infant wellness check you’d have at a clinic. Let’s feel the way it waters our deep need to be loved, a need without which nothing can truly flourish. Maybe it’s already clear to you that something is missing, something difficult to put into words. Not the endless arguments about the trash someone didn’t take out for you, or the hug you didn’t receive, but a quieter, deeper

Back at place
The most satisfying thing in the world for me is putting things back in their rightful place, returning wonder to the heart and helping people find their roar again. That’s why my great love for guiding people who rise up against toxic relationships and abusive partnerships has brought countless stories like these into my clinic. So let me tell you how it works. There are very few people in this world who instinctively understand that what harms them is harmful enough to res
