Glenn Fleisch, Ph.D., MFT

Many people find themselves repeating the same patterns- reactive triggers, relational issues, struggles with addictions, moods, anxieties- even after years of therapy, and other bodymind practices. i have found that if we can identify one or more of these patterns (in daily life),we can follow the thread of each pattern to resolve it at its (oftentimes traumatic) roots. I help you to explore and transform one or more core patterns in your self and life, to develop new capacities and reawaken deep soul qualities. This body-experiential process enables you to release the energy bound within patterns- and recover your inner spirit. To transform deeply ingrained patterns, I practice wholebody energy work- inner body awareness; expressive movement processes; in-depth feeling of wounds; creating ways to embody and play out parts of yourself. In a safe, supportive space, the life energy in the body is freed up for healing and restoration of your true nature. The 'secret' to lasting change and transformational healing lies in drawing out and bringing forth the life-energy that is bound up with patterns. The energy is not in words or concepts, but in the body as we experience it directly. Together we create opportunities for concrete, embodied processes to connect with this energy and to develop a new life-stance. To learn if this approach and my style are right for you, I offer a free initial phone-consultation. Feel free to call or email.

In my 40 years of experience and training, I have found that Focusing and experiential therapy provides the most potent approach to transforming ingrained patterns. With this approach, we can observe and activate initial steps of change even in beginning sessions, and help carry these new steps into everyday living. The Focusing-orientation comes from a philosophy that change happens when we open ourselves to what we actually experience at a bodily-feeling level. Most clients find this process freeing and transformative! In addition to offering therapy for individuals and couples, I teach workshops in WholeBody Focusing, allowing for movement, and expressiveness with our whole bodily self, a way of forming an inner relationship with your body, For more information about Focusing, see the Focusing Institute website.
