just as we have never seen a fully relaxed, blossoming, safe and expressed Feminine principle in history...

We have never witnessed a fully initiated, Soul-led and honorable Masculine archetype at scale.

The Soul is re-associating and coming back, and it sends messages that can be clearly experienced, especially while in the medicine.

Images of transformation, wholeness and integration arise at this point - as well as more intense, challenging, bizarre or transcendental images - images that were very moving for me to witness when they did arise.

Therapy must make radical demands of the world and set a standard for what needs to happen, rather than adapting to the way things have been and meekly trying to help its patients adjust a little better.

This is the issue with older, well-established psychoanalysts, not to mention counselling farms like betterhelp or its AI version, Rosebud (amongst... See more

It demonstrates that enough work has been done to create safety in the nervous system, which in ... See more

“Stage 4 person” is something like:

To become a fully mature, individuated, regulated human being in service of universal values of Beauty, Unity, Truth, Freedom, and Love - having moved through a complete healing process, and now turned toward showing up fully for community at this absolutely novel and critical time.

In other words, the goal is to ... See more

This can be a frustratingly slow process.

Healing truly takes its own time - there is no rushing it, only assisting in it.

In practice, during a session this looks similar to what Somatic Experiencing would describe as “titration and pendulation” - moving back and forth between “control” and “letting go.”

Letting go 0.25% at a time, then noticing the ... See more
