The Archetypal Romance

Those of you who have had a therapy session with me are probably quite familiar with the term “archetype.” Very briefly, an archetype is a pattern of behavior, or more accurately, a pattern of “being” much like an instinct. According to the Swiss psychiatrist, Carl Jung, the archetypes have formed over eons of human existence (or could have been [...]

Take Action!

The first kingdom in the Four Kingdoms of Consciousness is “victim consciousness” which I discussed briefly in last month’s newsletter. This month, I will explain a bit about the next kingdom—the kingdom of “Solo Creation." This is the Kingdom of Consciousness that most people work throughout their lifetime to immerse themselves. Most self-help books and other modalities of self-improvement [...]

Victim Consciousness

We have probably all heard at one time or another the admonition, “oh, quit being such a victim.” Usually this carries with it a sense of shame, like we are slipping into some infantile and very unbecoming behavior. “Being” a victim very often is a reality brought upon us by unseen forces, such as getting sick, losing a partner, [...]

The Safe Psyche

What is a “safe psyche” …first of all, what is a “psyche”? Most definitions of psyche point to soul or spirit. This is because the origins of the word are Greek, and do indeed translate, in English, to “soul or spirit” (well, actually life, but a detailed definition would point to a description of soul.) A more modern perspective [...]

Gottman says: “contempt is fueled by long-simmering negative thoughts about one’s partner, and it arises in the form of an attack on someone’s sense of self.” He goes on to say: “contempt as far beyond criticism, as [...]

A Criticism of Criticizing

Although it may seem like a fantasy, criticizing your partner in just about any context, weakens an intimate bond that is essential to a healthy relationship. This, like nearly every axiom or “hard as stone” dictum, has important exceptions. First, let me define “criticize” from the context of this article. Few people will balk at their partner suggesting to [...]

The New Normal

How often have you heard this phrase in the past couple of months? “The New Normal.” What does that mean? It seems to mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. I have heard it to define a new spiritual awakening, where the world population wakes up to a new awareness of their purpose in [...]

Sacred Science and Psychotherapy

Last year Routledge press, an imprint of Francis & Taylor, published my first book: “Ancient Egypt and Modern Psychotherapy: Sacred Science and the Search for Soul.” Keep reading. I promise not to get too academic. That being said, I must admit it IS an academic book. It is actually a “more suitable for most readers” rendition of my doctoral [...]
