Soulwork and the Care of the Soul
Many people today feel a growing sense of something fundamentally out of balance in their lives, something missing that is of ultimate importance. Unlike psychotherapy, my work with clients does not seek to cure psychological disease, but rather to confront the dis-ease our souls feel in the face of the challenges of modern life and nature of the human condition. Based on the principles of depth psychology – especially the work of C.G. Jung – my work seeks to restore “psyche” to its original meaning as the ancient Greek word for “soul.” Soulwork is not psychotherapy, although it has evolved partly out of dissatisfaction with the limitations of the curative approach of many models of therapy.
This form of counseling may be helpful if you…
- seek an ever-expanding sense of yourself and your life, a perspective that will facilitate ongoing, lifelong growth and development.
- desire a form of personal growth that recognizes reflection and imagination as profound tools of healing.
- seek a form of counseling that seeks to find the essential common ground between the perspectives of psychology and spirituality.
- desire a form of growth that sees your “symptoms” as powerful teachers of what your soul came to experience.
- sense that the story you are meant to be living is both deeper and more profound than the details of your biography or family history.
- want an adjunct or alternative to conventional psychotherapy for personal growth (not as a treatment for clinical psychological disorders).
