SoulCraft Consultation ~

After over four decades as a depth psychologist and psychotherapist, my work is evolving into a more spacious, soulful, and spiritually attuned form of practice. This transition reflects the natural maturation of my clinical life and the deepening call I have experienced in my dreamwork, writing, and spiritual path.

SoulCraft Consultation is a non-medical, depth-oriented approach focused on:

Dreamwork and the unconscious

Energetic and relational field awareness

Psycho-spiritual insight and soul development

Symbolic exploration and life transitions

Healing rooted in mutual presence, attunement, and meaning

This work is not psychotherapy and does not diagnose, treat, or function within a medical model. It is consultation in which the psyche is experienced as alive, healing, and evolving; where dreams are encountered as living realities; and where listening and presence gently nurture the soul in the midst of its becoming. SoulCraft is grounded in decades of clinical experience and a lifetime devoted to the exploration of dreams, myth, spirit, and the living field of consciousness.

Soul, Holiday Haunting, and the Blues!

November 21, 2013  /  Paul DeBlassie III

The holidays are coming, and so are the blues. They hit when everybody around us is so happy. All of a sudden a pit opens up inside you and you're there. Depressed.

A depressed soul is a haunted soul. James Hollis in his book, Hauntings: Dispelling the Ghosts Who Run Our Lives, notes that the greatest haunting we suffer is a lost relationship to soul. When the relationship to soul is lost something has crept into us and taken its place. Traumatic holidays, dysfunctional families, toxic religious experiences are ghosts that can come haunting during the holidays.

"Christmas for me was like being forced into a religious straitjacket," remembered  a particularly insightful young man. Another person added, "I dream of huge Christmas trees and everybody is very, very happy. It's denial. Holidays bring stress and everybody goes into super happy mode with their huge trees and expensive presents to cope...to deny."

Chances are if you're holiday anxious you could be haunted. Anxiety and the holiday blues go together. It's called agitated depression holiday version. Bad memories pushed away, present day stress denied, trigger a host of destructive spirits, negative and anxious attitudes. It's the holiday blues.

Holiday commercialism is rolling down the highway like a sixteen wheeler mowing down anyone in its path. Department stores are staying open for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It won't stop. So, best thing to consider is to stop ourselves. Stop and move into self and stay there, sequestering the haunting and the blues!
