My daily experience as a psychotherapist generates amazing awarenesses that I deeply want to share with others. There is one problem. While I am always careful to never compromise confidentiality of any of my clients, the major shifts that clients experience is through the DEH psychotherapeutic process and that involves spiritual and energetic assistance from compassionate spirits, that is if you believe in core shamanic practices. The problem is that if you ask most people if they know what shamanism is, they will tell you no, or describe it incorrectly. Read More »Why This Blog?
Part of my job as a psychotherapist is to access healing resources that are frequently unavailable to clients. Today, a client of mine was feeling a strong disconnection from his higher power or God.

I encountered a new experience that I would like to share with you. Several months ago, a client came to my office grieving the loss of her beloved pet. By her own admission, she is “a dog person.” For all of her adult life, she has had dogs as part of her family. Her most recent dog died at the age of 16, quite old for a large dog. She wanted some assistance and support to overcome her loss as she acknowledged that ever since her beloved dog’s death, she had never felt the same. As we went through the DEH process, we identified that she was in-fact carrying some traumatic residue that she had not yet been able to shake.
