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.

Hope for Traumatized Souls...

February 23, 2016  /  Paul DeBlassie III

Psychoanalyst and trauma theorist, Michael Eigen (2009), asserted that the depth psychological process of healing the traumatized soul is a sacrament, “a visible sign of an inward grace” (p. 9). This sacrament —experienced as symbolic contact with the potentially generative instinctual force of the Self—invokes the hope that is essential in addressing trauma and its associated malevolent self-defense system that functions autonomously, beyond the grasp of ego resources. Within the context of depth-oriented trauma therapy, hope—the belief that healing is possible—is a vital force can be posited as a vital facet in the healing of traumatized souls. In keeping with the crucial need for a sign of, or contact with the Self’s potential and instinct for growth and wholeness, William James (1985), wrote of hope being as essential as oxygen to how we engage with and experience life: “let . . . hope be the atmosphere which man breathes in . . . and his days pass by with zest” (p. 120).
