SPEAKEASY

I believe that meaning in our lives emerges from our emotional and experiential worlds-if only we could make sense of them!

Our inner and outer world, our minds and our bodies are connected in what we sometimes experience as a mystical union. Uncanny experiences of the external world in which we enact our lives seem to connect with our inner, unarticulated experience and vice-versa. For example, if we believe we are unworthy then we manifest events and people in our external lives which reinforce this belief.

Our bodies speak of the emotional issues they hold and of the conflicts and tensions between aspects of ourselves. We are multiple multiplicities, many voices in harmony or discord. All too often discordant aspects of ourselves, often an introjected aspect from significant abusive figures in our lives, cause us distress. This can be in the form of depression, low self-esteem or self worth. Sometimes this is so distressing that some people consider suicide. Many people end up with significant existential issues or crises where they question their way of being in the world and desperately strive for meaning. Sexual abuse, physical or emotional abuse, and destructive relationships often play out in our lives long after the abuser has left. Yet, they always leave a poisonous part of themselves behind.

Many people have a spiritual and transpersonal enquiry about their place in the grander scheme of life yet, have a fragmented sense of other consciousness. We will use the SPEAKeasy process of reconstructive dialogues between discordant aspects of ourselves to help you return to harmony and to the experience of being greater than the sum of your parts. At its most essential, I am humbly offering a piece of me in a therapeutic relationship with you, in the hope that you will find peace, contentment in your spiritual, personal, social and physical worlds.
