WTF just happened?
As a holistic & open-minded therapist, I embrace the idea that the human experience extends far beyond the boundaries of what we can measure in our physical reality.
Did you know that almost a third of US adults have encountered mystical or non-ordinary experiences? Advancements in neuroroscience and quantum mechanics continually point towards dimensions of reality that transcend immediate perception. However, the broader cultural narrative has yet to catch up with these insights. Unfortunately, many folks who reach out for help after these mind-bending experiences often face the risk of being invalidated, pathologized, ridiculed, or, in extreme cases, labeled as psychotic.
A DIFFERENT APPROACH
In our work together, my role isn't to pass judgment on the accuracy of your story. Instead, I'm here to listen with openness and curiosity, creating a safe space for you to explore and understand the significance of these experiences for yourself. Often, these encounters bring about transformational shifts that, when integrated, can profoundly influence your life.
ONTOLOGICAL SHOCK
Experiencing the extraordinary, mystical, or anomalous can lead to what is known as ontological shock—a profound disruption to one's understanding of reality. This shock, while challenging, often contains seeds of immense personal growth and transformation. I am here to support you through this process, offering a compassionate space where your experiences are honored and explored without judgment.
INTEGRATION & MOVING FORWAD
Together, we'll navigate the intricacies of your journey without pathologizing or dismissing your experiences. Instead, I will assist you in integrating these experiences into your life. My therapeutic approach is centered on helping you make sense of the shifts, providing tools and insights to foster personal growth, resilience, and a deepened understanding of your unique path.
Venturing into therapy after extraordinary experiences demands a guide who
comprehends the nuances of such encounters. I am dedicated to offering respectful, open, and
committed support, delving into the depth and meaning of your extraordinary experiences.
