When I am with my clients, it is a framework that informs my work. I focus on body, mind, emotion and spiritual integration. Facilitation helps to explore and heal difficult childhood experiences that affect the present. I teach people how to take better care of them self and to deal with the psychological challenges posed by physical disability and/or aging. I find the energetics of Voice Dialogue takes people to very deep places within themself.
I use some form of faciliation with most of my indiviuduals, couples and groups. It is such a powerful tool to use to explore dreams. I love teaching Voice Dialogue to Therapists and seeing how they use it in their work.
