The word anxiety even strikes a sharp splinter into a part of us. Palms sweat, Pulse quickens, thoughts race. Our stomach may quake and even force one to run bathroom.
Anxiety is a profoundly unraveling experience that strikes us at the core, spiraling through layers of biology and spirit.
Carl Jung wrote of the 2 thousand year old man. Our bodies carry centuries of experience and information. Within us is the consciousness of the ages.
Anxiety is a process rooted in our biology which is essential to embodied life. Who has not experienced anxiety? While anxiety is deeply disruptive and may have us questioning who we are, it can also function as a sort of compass. Anxiety may be calling you back to who you really are, your true self, which may have developed layers of false selves to survive difficult situations.

Therapy can help. We can work to understand the meaning of your anxiety, and hear the ways may be calling you back to yourself.

The symbol of the snake holding or consuming its own tail, represents a kind of endless return, eternity, self-holding.

I need an anchor, and end, but also a place to begin this work. The Ouroboros is this beginning, and this end. The silent Aleph that comes before, and the period that marks the end.

I begin this work with the feelings of excitement, and a kind of exhilaration. Also, I do have a sense for the aim or telos, although I am open to the mystery of that being something different than what I am capable of imagining today.

It is also a symbol of the space I may turn to for self renewal. A creative space that has become more of a way of being, where I return to let go of what is no longer living, the old skin, and come into what is new within myself.

Welcome and thank you for joining me on this journey.
