Just as we learn spoken language as children, we learn an unspoken language of relationship. Just as the words we hear become the words we speak, the way we're treated becomes the basis for how we treat others, and how we expect to be treated by the people in our lives. We learn to define ourselves according to the terms by which we were defined, but most of us suspect that there's more to the story. There is.
I was a creative professional in film and television for many years before I became a psychotherapist. I understand how talents can come to feel like burdens and I'm sensitive to the complexities that arise around getting paid to do "what you love" and the isolation that can accompany success.
I have been a committed Buddhist practitioner since 2003 and have extensive retreat experience in the major schools of Buddhist meditation as well as education and experience in secular mindfulness practice. I speak from experience regarding the benefits of meditation without glossing over how difficult it actually is despite the hype.
