I think the big question for our time is how to be more human living in an ecosystem with other people, creatures, and the environment. Tech is a distraction.

It’s about being present in yourself, your body, and you in relationship.

Thinking about your feelings is not the same thing as actually feeling them. It can be a way to make the feelings seem more distant so that they don't feel as powerful.
However, after you have experienced, in your body, an emotion, reflecting on what it means and how to incorporate it's meaning into your life, is how you integrate and process feelings.

It's a 3 step process:
1. Having a feeling. Recognizing it as an internal experience.
2. Embodying the experience of the feeling. Listening to your body as the energy of the emotion moves through you.
3. Reflecting on the meaning and how to learn from the feeling's wisdom.

It isn’t your personal anxiety. There are huge collective shifts going on. Creativity is our way to adapt and be more human.

“[AI] if it can take our jobs, and become a lover, what is left? It’s art, poetry, messiness, all that juicy human stuff.”

Writer Sarah Wilson argues we’re hurtling toward the same end as ancient Rome and the Mayan civilisation – but there’s plenty to fight for

Tonight at midnight. 🌙

The dream group closes for the year and won't reopen until summer of 2027.

AI can summarize a dream. It can hand you a symbol definition. (that is not even a symbol according to how Jung defined it, FYI). But it cannot do shadow work. It cannot respond from intuition, from a felt sense, from over 10 years of formal Jungian training and 9 years of personal analysis.

Shadow work still stings me. That's how I know it's real. It feels foreign and my ego's first instinct, like a reflex, is to reject it.

This group is experiential, never recorded, and limited to 8 people. It's the most accessible way to work at this depth.

A few spots left. Two time options, Tuesday evening and Thursday afternoon. Midnight TONIGHT is the deadline.

Email me for questions or to grab one of the last spots. [email protected]

Last night I hosted a webinar on dream work, and it reminded me why this is some of the most meaningful work I do with clients.

A lot of people ask me if they could just plug a dream into an AI chatbot instead of working with a therapist. I get why it's tempting... it's fast, it's free, and it feels like an answer. But what it gives you is your own words reflected back at you, not real understanding. There's no felt sense in the room, no relationship, no one who actually knows your history and can sit with what comes up in their heart and soul.

Dream work, done well, draws on intuition, body awareness, emotion, and the relationship between therapist and client. It's the kind of things that take years of clinical training to hold safely. That's not something a chatbot can offer you.

I made this image last night of a woman staring into a mirror at something that isn't quite alive. That's what it can feel like getting "insight" from something that's just mirroring you back to yourself.

If you've been curious about dream work, I'd love for you to check out the replay from last night's webinar: send me a message and I'll send you the link.

And if you're looking for an ongoing space to explore your dreams with real support, I'm opening my monthly Dream Group to new members now and enrollment closes Monday, July 27th.

How we interact with people and our emotions greatly impacts our health. This is the core issue I work with in my practice with women who want to interface with the world and their inner life differently.
