After graduating with my Master’s in Psych Counseling, I tried to launch my business that I was calling “On Being Whole”. A person contacted me and asked for my help – he had been in a terrible car accident and was now bedridden and looking at many years of rehab. He had lost his job. He had gained considerable weight and yet was still comforting himself with junk food, and I got that. He was extremely depressed and his doctor wanted to put him on anti-depressants, but he didn’t want to take them. Could I help him?
Ugh. I didn’t know what to do. This guy clearly had a right to be depressed. Was there meaning for him in his suffering? Would he miss it if he numbed out on meds? What about the mind/body connection and physical healing? This guy wanted to know about these things, and so did I. At that time, I didn’t feel like I could help people be whole. I applied for jobs and realized that, at my level of education, I was mainly supposed to assure medication compliance. We know that psych meds help some people, do nothing for others, and hurt some people, and we have much to learn about the long term effects, and the effects of taking multiple medications, which people often do. I was very unsettled.
I went back to studying. I now know that I could help this guy!
The work I care about involves deep whole body healing, deep whole body loving and deep whole body living. It is work, but it is worth it.
Are you ready for a deep dive into your life, your physical, spiritual and emotional health and well-being? Do you want to find joy, meaning and purpose, longevity, legacy, understanding, creativity and peace? I can help you transition and transform your life, so that at the end, you will look back with deep satisfaction.
