Chasm Retreat Sessions

---

I have a profoundly deep familiarity with the work I do...not from my training and education, but from my personal journey with it.  I have ventured into the energetic territory of complex wounds and have gotten to see and feel their appearance, and how they are engrained into our bodies.  I described witnessing this as a "chasm" in the system, with various dendrite-like spikes and complexities that veer out into the rest of our energetic body and physical body.  I later came to find well renowned leaders of this field, specifically in IFS (Parts-work) also describing complex wounds as chasms.  

So we are onto something here, with what we are discovering about wounds and healing.  The nature of complex wounds, or complex trauma can be quite challenging to work with, as these wounds developed over time and became deeply engrained in who we have become.  How do we untie these knots?  I am humbled to tell you...that there is no quick or easy fix.  Though, there is a beautiful journey we can take with this.  Our wounds can be our teachers and our portals into a deeper connection with Self and Source than we have ever known.

This experience and knowing the nature of complex wounding has led me to develop a unique approach. Through a mixture of various modalities, we will address the energetic nature of this chasm within you... as well as the cognitive and emotional elements that this chasm is comprised of.  We will use a bit of art therapy to draw out your chasm and label what is living on each section of the chasm (often veering off into various "spikes" of this dentine-like structure).  By the end, there is ideally a sense of completion and a deep understanding.  You are able to step back and literally look at it on paper to make sense of it.  

From the sounds of this work, you can probably tell that there is no way to do this in a typical therapeutic hour session.  If you cannot afford to do it all at once, we can strategize around breaking this up into chunks and containing/compartmentalizing the work at the end of each session to re-open it next week... but this is more ideal.  Once you are aware of such a wound within you, you may be suffering.  No need to drag that suffering on for weeks or months or years longer than necessary.  There is no guarantee that you can be completely healed from a complex wound by attending a personal chasm retreat, though it is entirely possible.  My personal journey with complex wounds has highlighted to me that it comes in "chunks." I will arrive at core moments of healing and believe that it is fully healed, but it may be triggered in a new way at some point, presenting another layer to work through.  I invite you to accept this journey with its ups and downs and embrace the beauty in that.  

Chasm retreat work with me is 1:1 therapy, very individualized to address your needs.  We will only schedule to do this if you are very clear on your intention of what we are working on.  This can be a great way to get a lot of personal work done in one day, especially if the issue at hand is something that has been causing turmoil in your life.  

We go for as many hours as needed.  

Rate: $150 per hour

If I take your insurance, insurance will cover the first hour.
