HOW I CAN HELP YOU

Spiritual Dissatisfaction

Our spiritual life can be a cornerstone of our identity. Whether we maintain our childhood faith or venture out to something new, there may come a time when what we are told and what we experience do not match.

Many people experience disappointment with religion/spirituality, thinking that it would offer more than it provides. Circumstances, life decisions and feeling disconnected from the Divine over long periods of time and through many difficulties can elicit a sense of spiritual abandonment.

My work with people focuses on empathizing with their existential crisis. Treatment for this issue focuses on looking at mental/emotional traps created by expectations (usually theologically based) and getting grounded in real spiritual work, opening the heart and holstering the gun we put to God’s head. This was a very long and interesting path for me, personally.

Anxiety

Anxiety can be an intensely debilitating condition to live with and prevents people from making otherwise good choices. Excessive worry or catastrophizing not only affects the individual but has ramifications for their relationships and decisions that impact others as well.

There seem to be countless ways in which the mind validates our worries and negative thinking. It can also seem out of our control to change any of it because the reasonableness of it all makes it feels so true.

But, there is a way out. In part, it is increasing your ability to create space to have anxiety and another ability to understand and accept the limits of the mind.

There comes a point where people become emotionally and intellectually convinced that worrying won’t change a thing. This is not about denial. It’s about having enough space in your heart and mind to accept what you feel – to have your moment. It’s natural and habitual to respond in particular ways, but that is not your only option.
