“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!” - Jack Kerouac
You're not like the other people around you.
Not really.
You have quirks and kinks you don't show, or aren't understood (maybe you're a sharp intellect in a room full of soft-minded spiritual types - or you're the spiritual type in a room full of intellects). Part of you belongs where you are, but something about you sets you apart - and you burn to be more you more of the time.
Playing small and safe isn't good enough for you anymore. You want to exclaim and embody the fullness of your unique way of being, if only it didn't also make you squirm a little when you think about allowing all your tangled and unsorted aspects to roam in your life more freely.
You like to learn more things about yourself whenever you can, even when it feels risky.
You know you're pretty healthy, mostly got things figured out. This unexpressed part of you isn't destructive so much as subtle - hard for you to put your finger on, get understanding around and bring into the grander scheme of your life so it is, therefore, undernourished. And trying to live full-tilt without proper nourishment can be destructive. You just want to have this recognized and given room to breathe because you're more alive, more you when that happens (even though not everyone pays attention long enough to really see you, or is very understanding if they happen to catch a glimpse).
When the opportunity shimmers in front of you, you want to dive into spontaneous and delicious intimacy with others. Other people don't always happily co-operate with this and sometimes you find yourself too scared or not sure how - but you still crave meaningful connections because you thrive on those conversations where you feel suddenly safe and excited to tell someone this thing about you. Because these encounters are few and far between your access to insight about you are often too elusive to be of use.
You often feel smarter than the people around you. You *like* exploring the depths of things even if you don't get to do it very often. You're ready to take some risks and have your mind changed and opened a little - or a lot.
You are releived that, while parts of this type of work is serious and profound - most of it is playful, irreverent, and surprisingly compatible with how you're already doing things every day. It *fits* in. It's a conversation with a friend on the phone - a stunningly perceptive and informed friend who is positively gleeful for your impending freedom and desire-filled life.
You want to say YES! and mean it, be able to follow-through and trust yourself the whole way.
I want to help make that happen. I think of what I do as 'unleashing' because that's a sexier word for it than 'therapy'. But I am also a real-life Psychotherapist. Want to know more? Read some more about me.
I enjoy talking about myself - as, i'm sure, you do too - when it's well-received and celebrated. But I also like to really listen to other people telling my about themselves. Want to do that? Find out more about what I do. Or if you're crazy impulsive and just have this 'it's so right' tingly feeling all over and you're dying to share it - just go ahead and email me - I love it when you do and I'll tingle all over with you because excitement and pleasure and unfolding desires is contagious.
