How do you wish to engage in life? Are you getting what you want? Are you getting too much of what you don’t want? We average over 6000 (mostly negative) thoughts a day. Are you wishing for more loving relationships, good will, affection and purpose in your life? Pain rolls through our lives and understandably we wish to avoid it. We often deflect pain but inevitably it returns. Our habitual behaviors take root over many years, often initially helpful but later in life constrict us. I offer an approach to notice how you incur distress by turning toward what you wish to avoid with a sense of curiosity and care.
Drawing upon contemporary teachings in Buddhist psychology I offer practical suggestions to soften the hard edges of our emotional reactions, to notice and feel what is avoided. Good ideas are not enough. Taking action to cultivate intention can lead to understanding, empathy and possibly to know compassion for yourself and others.
I work with adolescents and adults who wish to explore the daily challenges they face in an uncertain world. I call upon a breadth of approaches informed by curiosity and kindness, foremost to create a safe and nourishing holding environment, the foundation from which to explore. My style is active, collaborative, pragmatic and full of heart.
