Wild Soul Journey

Spiritual Psychotherapy is about the way in which we are able to come back into right relationship with ourselves and recognize there is meaning to the whole of what happens to us in our life.

It’s about being present, having your feet in what’s going on today while also having an eye to a life and world that you’d like to see, and to have those two in alignment. It’s about looking to what the many interconnections in life are, to notice that there is magic and wonder in the world, and that there is meaning that happens in every moment, even those moments that are very difficult.

Psyche & Soul

Spiritual Psychotherapy, also known as Transpersonal or Psychospiritual, views the human psyche as having a Soul as the center of identity along with a human ego.

The word psychotherapy means "care of the Soul."

The word transpersonal means transcending or reaching beyond the personal or individual.

Traditional psychotherapy can be confining with a narrow and clinical focus on an individual's behaviours and psychopathology.
Healing the human spirit, while it may include such approaches, requires something more that addresses the whole person.

The Journey from Adapted Self to Authentic Self

If we fail to include in our inquiry the entirety of what we are – mind, body, soul, the shadow, the hurt places, the betrayals, the unfelt grief, the denied rage - we won’t be able to live here fully in a way that is guided by our wisdom and compassion. 

If what we believe is not how we live, because we're afraid of how other people are going to react to it, if we don’t tend to our wounds, there will be a dis-integration within us which will manifest as living from our adapted self rather than our authentic self.

And, as a result, we won’t be able to access that natural joy, aliveness, openness, and warmth that are the qualities of our Essence, the capacity to play, to create, and to fully be here, in a way that is deeply meaningful and beneficial, for ourselves and for others.

Head & Heart

Unexpected experiences happen and, when they do, they can be life-changing. These moments can often lead people on a trajectory that changes them forever. Allowing these conversations in therapy is an important step in recognizing the spiritual dimension of human life.

Spiritually integrated psychotherapy, with its wide, expansive lens from which to explore, while at the same time being underpinned with psychotherapy, is a powerful process.

Your wholeness, the truth of who you are moving through the world … maybe that’s what Spiritual is.

The psyches and souls of women have their own cycle and seasons of doing and solitude, running and staying,
being involved and being removed, questing and resting, creating and incubating, being of the world
and returning to the the soul-place.
