Guide for Personal Transformation
If you have finally decided to do something about your situation and the upset feelings you have.
...if you have come to the conclusion that you deserve to feel better...
...if you are starting to believe you can resolve the conflicts, get over the hurdles, get free of the shame, calm the anxiety, get beyond the pain...
...if you are ready to be supported in your commitment to have a life full of extraordinary well-being and personal power, to feeling free, to transforming your sense of self...
...then it might be the time to work with a counselor.
Even though you may feel a little skeptical; perhaps you even feel despairing or hopeless at times; yet, you are determined to not give up on yourself or your loved ones this time. So, you are looking for the best guide, the right support person for your therapeutic journey back to well-being and a life that works beautifully…and somehow you found me and this website and now you are considering the resource I may be for you.
“I find being a counselor, guide and coach to be the most gratifying work on the planet. To witness someone becoming who they really are, i.e. a person whom they feel good about and can trust to deal with life’s challenges, is a breathtaking experience. To be a part of someone’s journey home to their true self is a gift of pure joy and incredible satisfaction.”
Lonnie Green, Ph.D.
Here are some things you will want to know about the kind of work I do:
Transformation of your situation and of your negative feelings is absolutely possible...
yes, you can have the life you desire... you can be the person you long to be... you can make a difference with the difficult straits your relationship has ended up in.
In order to do so you will want a supportive guide so you can wake up and become conscious of what is in your way
of what is blocking your personal transformation
of the defense structures that are holding you back from being who you really are
of the wounds and unresolved issues that keep you stuck.
It is our unconscious self, our shadow side, our Lower Self and our Negative Ego –and their defensive patterning—that keeps us from being our true self, from realizing the intentions we have for our life. When you wake up to the real you, the true centered Self –let’s call it your essential being-ness — you can shine the light of your consciousness on “what’s really going on here, deep inside of me?” that is keeping me from being who I want to be? Your Conscious Self can notice when a fear-driven pain-oriented defensive strategy is playing itself out. It can notice that that strategy is not only unnecessary, but destructive to your well-being — and will not help you realize your goals or your heart’s desires.
Our work together will be designed to achieve this wondrous state of noticing “what works and what doesn’t work”, what’s in the way of your being your true self, how to get where you are headed on the path to personal transformation, fulfillment and a life of extraordinary well-being.
This kind of conscious intervention admittedly takes something --in terms of commitment, effort and time –yet it is so worth it because you will be putting your real self, your conscious self, in the driver’s seat of your life.
The almost immediate results will be less defensiveness and more confidence, less feeling like a victim and more personal power, less confusion and more clarity.
You will not be alone in your therapeutic process to set yourself free to be more authentic, courageous and self-expressed; I will be there with you, as will others on your “support team” of loved ones, family, friends and colleagues
“The talking cure --it works, but you’ve got to commit yourself to a process. I enjoyed the investigative examination of issues in my life that I didn’t understand. I learned a lot and therefore was able to exploit what I had learned and turn it into a real life..”
— Bruce Springsteen
Everything you are about to go through I have been through as well, diving deep into my old dysfunctional defensive patterns so I could get free and become more genuine, more loving, more confident, more successful. Every exercise, reading, practice or method I will recommend is something I have not only tried myself,but have witnessed it working for many others, clients as well as colleagues and friends. It will be especially rewarding for both of us when you move from feeling bad, stupid, wrong or awful to feeling ALL RIGHT, valuable, deserving, wise and genuinely OK.
Are you ready to have the life of extraordinary well-being that you long for?
Are you ready to do whatever it takes to feel really good again – about yourself, about your relationship, about your life?
Are you ready to go within and find the buried treasure of your true self?
If so, then call me and let’s get started!
