Logan Stengtenangel, CPC-I

There are times in life that we might find ourselves feeling lost or disconnected from ourselves or the world around us. It feels isolating and confusing to notice a change is needed… a new path is to be embarked upon… but there are only signs with no directions. I have personally felt frustrated by this, and instead of asking for directions, I ran away from the needed change out of confrontation with the unknown, only to find myself back at where I started. What I have learned though, is that the psyche is incredibly resilient and intelligent, and will keep introducing us to that same pattern or dynamic until we pay attention and accept the invitation to embark on the journey of the Self. I believe that metaphors and symbols are ways in which the psyche communicates and can provide much information about one’s inner landscapes and how to navigate them. I find that by offering a playful but thoughtful space to traverse such inner terrains and explore sensations, images, curiosities, fantasies, dreams, and subjective experiences affords the opportunity to learn what these “parts unknown” has to say. Unfamiliarity is a stranger only if we allow it to be. I invite clients to bring in whatever calls to them in the moment, which may include images, songs, stories, memories, dreams, poems, and the like. I hold value in the therapeutic relationship, paying attention to what is available and accessible psychically during session while integrating how experiences impact, influence, and shape our being on both a personal and collective level.
