Nothing ever goes away until it teaches us what we need to know. ~Pema
Blue Lotus offers several services and options to accommodate a variety of client needs. Although I prefer to hold space for individuals face-to-face at my office, I also offer sessions over the phone. Much of communication is non-verbal and therefore meeting in person can have a deeper impact due to the exchange of energy which takes place by sharing space. I find many people in today's fast paced technological society do not feel "seen". Having someone be truly present for you can often provide profound results. Although there are some disadvantages to being on the phone there are also some advantages, mainly for people who are too far away to meet in person. In addition, some clients prefer the benefit of time saved without needing to commute and some simply feel more at ease discussing personal issues in the comfort of their own home. It is vital to the process that if you are calling in you create a peaceful undisturbed environment for yourself so we can focus on your session without interruption. Weather permitting, I also offer outdoor sitting and walking sessions for those who will benefit from the exercise or connection to nature. This process is best for people who are not as concerned with issues around confidentiality as we may come across other people on our journey. Please note that I hold the issue of confidentiality to a very high standard and will not share any of what we discuss during our sessions with anyone but you. Couples Coaching I also work with couples on creating new levels of connection and intimacy. This exploration may involve dissolving distance and resentments by transforming breakdowns into breakthroughs. Often times much of this work is simply about learning new communication skills to more clearly and accurately convey what each person feels and needs. Each of us has a unique personality and “love language”, so understanding how you and your partner respond to each other is key to the success of your relationship. I find many couples do not seek help until they are in crisis and at times too much damage has been done to repair a relationship. The best thing you can do for your bond is to invest time in each other before hurts and resentments have been built up and left stagnant for too long. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Group sessions and Events. Men of Integrity and Authenticity Series: I will be starting a Men's Group session at my office in Ballard, Friday nights from 7:30-9:30. I charge $20 per session. These groups quickly form strong bonds as we learn how to have each others backs and support going out into the world as strong, centered, caring men. As men in today's society, often times we are brought up with shame around sharing our feelings. Homophobia can contribute to a fear of emotionally supporting other men. In addition, varying opinions on topics such as politics and religion can contribute to a general feeling of opposition and distance from those we don’t know and at times even those men we know very well. This is an opportunity to learn that we can support each other regardless of our differences in philosophy and lifestyle. The group tends to take on a life of its own as I do not lead to the extent that some do. I make an effort to keep the group focused on expressing emotions over information and insure we do not create a forum for argumentative debate. I look for participants that are ready to work on themselves and offer listening and support to others. There will be some discussion on vital topics and time for each one of us to share where we are and ask for any support we need. For more information on this group please go to the contact page of this site and let me know what's on your mind. I'm glad to do a complimentary 30-minute consultation to discuss if the group will be a good fit for you. |
