You can analyze your childhood perfectly. Name every pattern. Explain every anxiety.
And still feel stuck.
I see this all the time with my therapy clients and superviseesβprofessionals, parents, and deep thinkers who have so much insight, and yet something's still missing.
What if the answer isn't more understanding, but a different kind of knowing altogether?
Over the past three weeks, I've been sharing a blog series called "Dreams as Common Ground"βand today, Part 3 is live.
Here's what we've explored:
π’ Part 1: Your dreaming intelligence isn't just happening at night. It's in your body, your relationships, those moments when you just know something.
π’ Part 2: Dreams aren't a luxury. They're a biological and spiritual necessity. We literally can't function without them.
π’ Part 3: So how do we tend to this intelligence? And what happens when we do?
In my work as a Clinical Psychologist, I've learned that healing doesn't always come from understanding more. Sometimes it comes from experiencing moreβfrom dropping into the creative intelligence that's already moving through you.
Instead of interpreting dreams, I ask my clients to become them. To embody the figure in the dream. To notice what their body is doing right now and make that movement just a little more.
When they do, something shifts. They're not stuck in their heads anymore. They're living their creative process in real time.
"In a culture that values productivity over presence, analysis over intuition, tending to our dreams becomes an act of rebellionβand of remembering."
We remember that we are more than our achievements, deeper than our anxieties, more connected than our isolation suggests.
Dreaming Forwards Online Workshop | Early 2026
I'm creating something newβan experiential workshop where we move beyond dream interpretation to embodied dreamwork. Spaces will be limited.
