There are moments when life feels as though it is moving through the body faster than I can understand it, and I am left searching for words for what it means to be human. Aliveness, in my experience, rarely arrives in the way I expect it. It unsettles my ideas, loosens what I think I know, and brings me back again and again to something more immediate — more raw, more present.

Someone asked me recently about the relationship between psychotherapy and spirituality, and how they come together in my work.

For me, the meeting point is quite simple.

It begins with attention to what is happening, here and now — in the body, in the space between us, and in the contact we are making.
