Trigger warning: discussion of abuse culture, and brief reference to the documentary Allan vs Farrow Culturally we are reckoning with abuse culture in a way that has never been so sustained and is moving across demographics that were not previously engaged with anti-violence activism. The push for accountability is needed and long overdue, and yet…

Most of us already have internal reference points and associations with the elements of Earth, Fire, Air, and Water. Chances are you have some elements that you easily identify with and others that don’t feel like natural allies. In exploring them in depth, we can also consider what resources we naturally call upon, and how…

Perfectionism is often viewed as a form of anxiety. Some make connections to procrastination (if I can’t do it perfectly I shouldn’t even bother), missing deadlines (I can’t turn this in until I’m sure that it’s just right), difficulty apologizing and being accountable (I must convince you I didn’t actually make a mistake), and restrictive behaviors…

Working with energy is an ancient practice. Virtually every culture and every geographic area of the world has (at least historically) some way of working with energy or “laying on hands.” There is a great depth of indigenous wisdom in how we can raise, move, release, and channel energy for improved health and in my…

The term resolution seems to put a time stamp of change, making the calendar/Gregorian year…

In light of the challenges we’re facing I wanted to share with you a technique for self-hypnosis. Although in some ways we cannot achieve quite the same specificity working on our own as we can in 1:1 sessions, I do find self-hypnosis very nearly as effective and I practice it all the time! The more…

It’s a commonly applied concept in both psychological theory and popular culture that anger is a “secondary emotion” and one that can be destructive for both the person experiencing the feeling and whomever it is directed towards. The ask is usually to “get underneath” the anger. I have always believed that experiencing anger was an…

This piece was originally written in three separate newsletters between 3/28/20 and 4/21/2020. I considered editing it to make it a bit more evergreen, but I feel it is am important record of a difficult and important time. Spring of 2020, particularly in my home at the time of Brooklyn, NY was a huge pivot…
