My Approach to Helping

If you want to finally find out what's wrong with you, look for another therapist. I am more interested to find out what's right about you. I want to know what brings a smile to your face as you realize there is life to be lived. There is a part in you, which knows exactly why it came here and what is the task at hand. It knows how to be and what is the right way to manifest so that others can share that being. What I enjoy most in my work, is the privilege to witness that understanding emerge. Like the client who told me: "I finally understood that in order to live the spiritual life I am so longing for, I need a healthy body and a healthy soul." People often confuse the soul and the spirit. They say: "I want to fly high." They say: "I want union with God or a Goddess." Phaeton and Icarus are good examples. That kind of fiery and airy aspiration needs to be contained in an earthly body and a watery soul. The body needs to be first of all accepted. A manly or womanly body. A small or big one, a gentle or fierce one, a strong or delicate one. Then, when honored and cared for, it can serve. The soul needs to be affirmed again and again, until it lets go and can simply BE.
