The Healing Dream: Rescuing the Lost Self A healing dream reveals how instinct, courage, and consciousness rescue what was once lost. Depth psychotherapy restores safety and vitality.

A healing dream isn’t fantasyβ€”it’s the psyche rewriting its story.
When instinct returns, the lost self is rescued, and life becomes one’s own again.

Eating Disorder Behavior Can Be a Form of Panic Attack When eating disorder panic attack behavior appears, depth psychotherapy opens a way to recovery and restores inner safety.

Rewrite from 2017 to 2025. I'm learning more. Sometimes what seems like willpower or control around food is really panic in disguise. tinyurl.com/4x99vju3

Dreams tell the truth long before we can face it.
A nightmare once ended the life I was livingβ€”and began the one I was meant for.

Midlife Women, My Muse, and the Refusal to Defer What if midlife is the time to claim your own story, be visible and expand your life?

Culture says women at midlife are at their limit or β€œfinished.” Good grief.

What if that moment is actually the threshold to renewal, creativity, and power?

I also recall hot summers without air conditioning. But we couldn't go to the municipal pool or air-conditioned movie theaters. My mom told us, "It's polio season." We kids knew what polio was. We saw the deformations on the street, in the shops, salespeople at the door as well as in classrooms.

When I was a child I was accustomed to seeing polio crippled classmates in school. It's not something I forget. I hope we don't need that kind of tragedy again for people to be aware of what a preventable disease can cause.
