Hello, and heartfelt greetings to each of you,

I'm excited to announce the launch of my Substack, a unique platform where we'll explore the depths of the human condition. Drawing from my 30+ years in trauma-informed somatic therapy, attachment theory, Somatic Experiencing, and Rolfing; and my 6 years as an award winning CEO of an emotion sensing software company, I'll share insights and stories that have shaped my understanding and practice.

Imagine uncovering ways to navigate life's complexities more effectively. Each post on my Substack will offer you a blend of personal experiences, professional insights, and practical tips.

By subscribing, you're not just getting access to exclusive content; you're becoming part of a community that values growth, healing, and connection. I encourage you to engage, share your stories, and ask questions. Together, we can create a space for mutual learning and support.

For early subscribers, I'm offering a special interactive session where we can connect and discuss topics that matter to you. So, don't miss this opportunity to be part of something meaningful from the very beginning.

Reframing is a super power

If life is a work of art, and we are the authors, how can we tell our stories in the most loving, interesting, empathetic, resourcing way? I don’t mean rewriting a false history or present, but choosing what we focus on. SN Goenke the Burmese Vipassana teacher tells a story of how we are always on one of 4 paths: from light to dark, from dark to light, from dark to dark, or from light to light. At every moment there’s a choice point: we can ask “how can I make this better? Or at least less unpleasant. With this selective focus we have the power to shift our perspective and physiology.

How do we do this? Noticing what’s happening, curiosity, and acceptance together enable this shift towards light. Feeling what’s actually happening, accepting and being ok with that, and getting curious about it and what could make it better transform whatever is happening into a symbol that can be rotated around and considered from different angles. It transforms reactivity into options. Options impart agency. Agency is power. Your mind, in its unity with embodied experience, becomes a skillful servant supporting your experience.

Questions:
What can I learn from this?
What are my options?
What resources are available?
What do I find pleasant in this moment?
What would my higher self do?
What feels right to me?
Even if I don’t like it, can I accept it?

Remembrances:
Everything is time limited
We always have agency, even if only in acceptance
In finding empathy and acceptance for whatever is arising, we always have agency
We sometimes need to take strong action

Disclaimer: some situations are unacceptable. Although everyone has the possibility to reframe and reorient to what agency they do have, not everyone has the freedom to change their situation.

Some musings on the nature of becoming whole. When recovering from trauma or grief we are often gradually emerging from a kind of darkness into the light of resourcefulness and deeper resilience. The process is sometimes gradual, and goes through stages… pendulating back and forth from pleasant to unpleasant; embracing it all in a titrated way, within our range of resilience. The magnificent possibilities from the alchemical vessel of healing and growth are manifold. This instagram account will be dedicated to these explorations.

I have the deepest admiration for all who walk the path towards wholeness, with acceptance, compassion, and empathy for self and others. Thank you for reading!
