Psychological Intuiting

Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

—Mary Oliver, Wild Geese

Not unlike the work of a Medical Intuitive, as a Psychological Intuitive my readings spring from an immediate awareness that rests in my many years of psychological experience and understanding. Through subtle psychic awareness, a fresh perspective and novel understanding of the deeper dynamics at play in a person’s life are possible. Rather than analyzing problems, diagnosing off a medical model checklist and offering prescribed fixes based on cognitive-behavioral theories and strategies, a psychological intuitive reading relies less on the words, theories and familiar narratives, and more on imagery, intuition and immediate knowing.

Just as thinking, feeling and sensing are tools we use every day, intuition is part of our birthright—available to anyone who wants to step out of the daily noise and perceive something of the mystery of this life. Intuition offers us a subtle awareness—a clear knowing that we cannot quite grasp objectively.

My approach is not psychotherapy and is unlike many psychic readings because it’s a marriage of the psychological with the psychic. It’s an engagement with learning and exploration of the psychological patterns that limit us, awareness of the underlying emotional, interpersonal and energetic triggers of problems, along with a discovery of ways to live in a deeper state of trust. We do this within a supportive, creative space where we can reflect on the process of relaxing our minds—seeing how our fears and anxieties can interrupt, as well as inform this process. It’s a space to develop awareness of our habitual consciousness—avoidance of our Shadow selves, past experiences projected onto the present…and recognize ways to come into relationship with these old patterns. Within this process, we turn to the rich, personally meaningful, imagery of art, poetry, song, dreams, Tarot… inviting in the images that move and enlighten us.

While a Psychological Intuiting session includes a psychic reading from me, it also invites active (“intuiting”) participation from you. It begins with a brief mindfulness/relaxation practice to encourage a receptive state of mind. You’re then invited to share an object that has emotional, experiential meaning for you. This could be something you created, something that was given to you or found, a photo of you that expresses something about who you are/were… anything that’s imbued with importance or meaning. From there, we engage with and trust the process that will naturally unfold. We’ll end with a discussion of the insights, strategies and practices that emerge that you may engage in your daily life.
 
Through this practice of connecting, relaxing and clarifying, something else becomes possible. You may experience a lightness or freedom and flexibility. You may realize that we are never alone or isolated but inherently intimate with all things. You may discover the ease and joy in the small, powerful moments of our lives. And feel the strength and support that is always available to us.
 

No beliefs are needed. This is the work of direct experience that encourages you to trust in yourself and feel empowered in your life. There’s a long history of approaching the psyche through the imaginal—Archetypal psychology, Alchemy, Shamanic journeying, hypnotic regression, psychic readings… This work seeks to draw on that history and inspire something new.

I invite you to start with a Free Initial Consultation to ask any questions and get to know me a bit. After clarifying the framework of Psychological Intuiting work to be sure it’s right for you, please feel free to schedule an individual session. You may also be interested in joining with others in the Way of a Trusting Mind Mentoring Group, as intuitive practice is especially powerful within small groups where creativity and support of community becomes an essential part of the process.
