How to Look at the Layers of Trauma

June 5, 2016 by Liz Leave a Comment

Most of us who have been through therapy got there because of trauma. This is often not one traumatic incident, but a series of incidents or chronic abuse, violence, neglect, etc. Many of us ended up in therapy because of emotional wounds from emotional, physical, or sexual abuse (or some horrific combo of them) in […]

7 Minutes of Rest [MP3 download]

August 16, 2015 by Liz Leave a Comment

I often get caught in the trap of thinking that in order to rest, I need to have an extensive amount of time to devote to it. This, despite the fact that I’ve had some of the deepest, most refreshing rest experiences using the practice of Yoga Nidra (translation: yogic or psychic sleep) in less […]

Active Resting with TRE

August 2, 2015 by Liz 2 Comments

“Active resting” – a contradiction in terms? Absolutely not. I promise you, it’s possible, and I’ve done it: Last year found me laying on the ground in a butterfly pose – in a small room overflowing with people doing the same – praying I wouldn’t fart on the head of my dear friend in the […]

That Time I Nearly Attacked a Complete Stranger at a Bus Stop in Rome

May 24, 2015 by Liz 6 Comments

Have you ever felt like there is something in you that still needs healing, but it’s something you can’t quite pin down with words? All the therapy, processing, emotional thought work, and even physical release techniques just don’t seem to work, but you still have a sense there is some soul shrapnel that needs to […]

Recognizing Unhealed Trauma

January 25, 2015 by Liz 1 Comment

My media pick for this month’s adventure theme was Into the Wild, Sean Penn’s film adaptation of John Krakauer’s book by the same name. This is an incredible film – moving, with amazing scenery and a stunning performance by Emile Hirsch. I’m going to forewarn you now – in true review fashion – that I […]

A Return to Love

December 28, 2014 by Liz Leave a Comment

Have you ever seen Scrooged, the late 80’s twist on Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, starring Bill Murray? Or It’s a Wonderful Life? Or even Elf? It seems that so many Christmas movies have the same ending scene – a character who had become bitter or hopeless finds the love in their hearts again, and it […]

A Mystical Experience

December 7, 2014 by Liz Leave a Comment

I’ve always had the ability to sense the Divine. I realize that might sound a little crazy, but for me it simply is how things are – obviously there is some kind of God/Source/Divine Love, because I feel it. When people tell me they don’t believe in God, for me it sounds like “I don’t […]

Yes! You Made It Through!

November 23, 2014 by Liz 2 Comments

In the United States, we will be celebrating Thanksgiving this Thursday. Though declared a national holiday by President Lincoln in the middle of the Civil War, the legend of the first Thanksgiving dates back a couple of hundred years earlier, in 1621. The story goes that the first Pilgrims – settlers – had survived a […]

Why Work With Me?

Because I'm on your side. Because I can often see the beautiful truth about you, even when you can't. Because I understand what it's like to wonder if I will ever get over 'my issues' - and how it feels to believe a job was eroding my soul. Read My Story...
