SoulCraft Depth Psychotherapy ~

A little clarity, a little honesty, and a little companionship along the road . . .

After more than four decades as a licensed depth psychologist and psychotherapist, my work has evolved into a quieter, more spacious, and spiritually attuned form of practice. SoulCraft names this mature orientation within my clinical work—one grounded in dreamwork, symbolic exploration, relational presence, and attention to the deeper movements of psyche and Life.

Individual Experience as Truth...

January 21, 2016  /  Paul DeBlassie III

People struggle to trust their own feelings. Depth therapy facilitates the healing of the soul so that a person can listen, trust, and follow through with critical feeling states. When we do otherwise, we end up anxious, neurotic, and generally unhappy. Trusting feelings is a key component of mental health.

C.G. Jung wrote, "...the individual experience, by its very poverty, is immediate life, the warm and red blood pulsating today. It is more convincing to a seeker after truth than the best tradition." (Psychology and Religion 1938/1940, CW 11, 88.)

A person admitted, "Staying with what I feel and not being talked out of my feelings strengthens me. I had to leave one organization after another because they all wanted me to tow the party line, to get in step with what they believed and leave the way I felt. There was nothing but misery for me in listening to voices outside of myself."

When we go deep and listen to lingering feeling states, dreams that we remember after a night's sleep, and intuitions that come to us spontaneously, we often discover the fresh face of truth. It's a welcome relief to know and accept our experience that truth lies on the inside. We need look no further than our own soul for a feelings and experiences, dreams and intuitions, that keep us on our path and maintain the inner flow of immediate, warm, and pulsating life.
