Consultation
Apart from personal therapy or analysis, is the need for therapists, teachers, and leaders to discuss their work–from supervision to clinical case material to simple conversations from the standpoint of The Wounded Healer. Consistent with the principle “we cannot do this work alone”, consultation aims to support and encourage growth and maturity. The dynamics of the Body Soul are at the heart of my approach, emphasizing a deep understanding of the unconscious in the consultation process.
The Legacy After the Fact
Who will heal the healers
If not the healers themselves?
Knowing each other
Trusting each other
Touching each other
Finding each other again and again with tenderness
Who will heal the healers
If not the healers themselves?
Putting aside the demands of the profession
And healing each other not with power but with love.
Who will heal the healers
If not the healers themselves?
Music itself is healing for them
Lame Children taught Asklepios to heal
But he also taught music:
“He educated them to be physicians
And turned their minds to music
And made them just men”
Who will heal us
If we do not heal each other?
With love
And with companionship
And with empathy
And with joy.
We enter the play of our life together
And become whole
Singing and playing and loving and healing
There is justice for us where we venture to go.
