What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality. —Plutarch
“Who looks outside dreams; who looks inside awakes”
Approach
What is a life, lived with such intensity and depth that there is no room left over for dissatisfaction? Imagine if your relationships were deeply intimate, and your work was challenging, inspiring and financially rewarding in return. What if you lived without regret, intensely with love, sexuality, artistic endeavors, athletics finances, and in your family life...
What would it take to bravely venture into this way of living?
The process of therapy is doing deep inner personal work to overcome the expaeriences and conditioning of the past to bravely face the potential of your unwritten future.
