A lot of people face difficult, potentially life changing decisions in their personal journey. How can we possibly make such choices in an authentic way?
"No Choice but to Choose: Making Life Changing Decisions "

I’ve written on the subject of “life changing decisions” a number of times in the past. Yet I think it’s such a vitally important topic that I’m returning to it in this blog post. In a huge variety of ways, hard decisions are something with which clients continually wrestle. Photo by Pix...

Hope is so essential to human life
"How to FInd Hope in Uncertain Times: Part 1"

“Hope in uncertain times” is a very important and very relevant phrase, that rings with a particular importance at the present moment. Hope feels like a vital antidote to anxiety or despair in times when outcomes seem unclear and some possibilities can seem downright scary. Photo by Mark-Ol...

Summer is a time for travel---and it can also be about encountering yourself.
"Vacations and Your Journey of Self Discovery"

The expression “journey of self discovery” is a metaphor that is used very widely. To some, it might even seem cliche, but it is far more than that. It is rooted in the metaphor of human life as a journey, which as neurolinguistic research has shown, is one of the symbols that is most deeply [.....

Art and creativity can bring you into living contact with the undiscovered self.
"Art and Creativity for Healing: A Depth Psychology Approach"

For a good number of people, the idea of using art and creativity for healing in psychotherapy might seem quite odd. After all, don’t we call psychotherapy “the talking cure”, the idea being that if we talk through the things are are going on in our lives and the things that trouble us, we’l...

Burnout, combined with other stresses and anxieties can powerfully impact us.
What can we do?
"Facing The Great Exhaustion and Finding Your Way"

It wasn’t so long ago, in the days of the pandemic, that we often heard the term the Great Resignation, but a term which has come into currency more recently is “The Great Exhaustion”. This is a term related to the workplace, and as you might expect, also related to the current epidemic of bur...

At midlife and beyond, spirituality can start to take on greater and greater significance.
"Our Need for Spirituality at Midlife and Beyond"

If you’re familiar with the writings of C.G. Jung, you will likely be aware of the importance that he places on spirituality and “religion” in our life journey in general, and particularly in our midlife journey and beyond. Why does Jung insist that this issue of spirituality and “religion.....

Workplaces seem to be getting more and more challenging.
What do you do if your workplace is toxic?
"Surviving a Toxic Workplace: a Depth Psychotherapy Perspective"

In today’s work world, many people are confronted with the challenge of surviving a toxic workplace. In recent years, and especially since the pandemic, awareness of people’s experience of toxic workplaces has greatly increased. Here in the middle of the 21st century, people are often devoting m...

How do I get to my real, authentic life?
"Waiting for My Real Life to Begin"

“Waiting for my real life to begin” is the title and a lyric from a Colin Hay song. It seems to be a lyric that resonates with many of us, at many different stages and points in life. As we in Ontario stand at the beginning of the school March break, perhaps it resonates with us. […]

Shadow: always uncomfortable, but vitally important,
"How Does Your Shadow Personality Show Up in Your Life?"

In recent years, there has been a lot written about the shadow, or shadow personality. Although the idea originates with C.G. Jung, many other therapists and authors are now writing about it, and many find awareness of the shadow personality to be of great importance in understanding themselves and....

Creative living can sound like a platitude.
Yet the reality of creative living is something that we really need,
"The Real Gold: Creative Living in the Second Half of Life"

Creative living can sound like a platitude—perhaps the slogan of a trendy furniture store! Yet, in reality, it’s very important to consider what creative living might mean for us. This question is especially important for people in the second half of life. What does creative living mean for us a...

There is so much loneliness today. What can we do about it?
"Loneliness and Solitude: A Key Issue for Our Time"

It’s well known that loneliness is a crucial issue in our time. Our recent experience with the pandemic has only highlighted our awareness that modern life for many in Canada and around the world is extremely lonely. How do we cope with loneliness, and how is it related to that other human state...

Midlife is both a time of letting go and mourning, and also potentially a time of reinvention and renewal.
"Heartache in the Middle Journey: Grief and Loss at Midlife"

The journey of a full life is long; by the time people reach the middle of their journey, they have very likely experienced grief and loss. Perhaps this seems to be counter-intuitive. If so, that may be because our culture has an overly narrow conception of grief and loss. Photo by Andrea Piaquadio....

Work burnout is profoundly connected to issues of the value and meaning that we find in our work.
"Work and Burnout: Yes, You Can Burn Out and be Unaware of It"

By now, burnout is widely recognized as the phenomenon of debilitating exhaustion that individuals feel from their jobs. However, it’s only relatively recently that the World Health Organization has given it official recognition, describing it as a malady stemming from “chronic workplace stres...

"The New Year: My Personal Journey and the Individuation Process"

The New Year is often a time that is associated with a sense of renewal and new beginnings. It is often associated with the tradition of “New Year’s resolutions”, which are often associated with the idea of “Making a new beginning”. Now, of course, resolutions are not always kept, and the ...
