Soul growth psychotherapy is for individuals who want to dive deeper—if traditional therapy is like swimming in a lake, soul growth therapy is like scuba diving in the ocean of the Self. We do not abandon the lake (sometimes we need a peaceful float on the lake). We still love a good barefoot walk on the grass to keep us grounded. Everything is needed for balance. Yet our main focus in soul growth work is mining our depths. This can look like going back in time through guided meditation to reclaim internal resources we forgot that we had. Or we can discern the symbolic language of our dreams, so they can guide our path with their foresight and wisdom. Through sacred ritual, we can release fear and more fully embody the power of the Self. We can learn to experience synchronicity on a regular basis, thereby living the reality that Life is our Oracle. 

 

*Note: Traditional, clinical psychotherapy methods are still employed in soul growth therapy, although they are not the primary focus.
