What if, instead of managing or running away from your suffering, you could heal the wounds at the core of it to the root? I have helped people do just this in my decades of work as depth psychotherapist, workshop leader, author, and speaker. In addition to working one-to-one with clients, I use my writing and speaking to help people understand how our own wounds and healing affect our world’s wounds and healing. Along with my first book, “Power Abused, Power Healed,” I recently published a new book, “How Did We Get Here?” exploring the real roots of the heart-breaking condition of our world, and how we can help heal those roots.
