SoulCraft for Dreamwork and Life Issues

505-401-2388

Personal Depth Consultation

After more than 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 both the natural maturation of my clinical life and a deepening call emerging through dreams, writing, and long-standing spiritual exploration.

SoulCraft Consultation is a non-medical, depth-oriented approach devoted to inner life, meaning, and transformation. It is grounded in presence rather than diagnosis, and in relationship rather than treatment.

This work may include:

Dreamwork and engagement with the unconscious

Sensitivity to energetic and relational fields

Psycho-spiritual insight and soul development

Symbolic exploration of life transitions and thresholds

Long-term accompaniment rooted in attunement, meaning, and mutual presence

SoulCraft is not psychotherapy. It does not diagnose, treat, or operate within a medical or insurance model. It is a form of consultation and guidance—soul companionship—shaped by decades of clinical experience and a lifetime of immersion in dreams, myth, spirituality, and the living field of consciousness.

For some long-term patients, this work represents a natural continuation of our shared journey. For others, it offers a new doorway into a more imaginal, relational, and spiritually alive dimension of inner exploration.

SoulCraft is the work I am called to offer in this season of life—
and for as long as the soul allows.

Dreams, Psyche, and Body...

March 31, 2016  /  Paul DeBlassie III

We are holistic beings. Body and mind work together as expressions of who we are. Psyche reflects body and body reflects psyche. A person's body speaks a great deal to who they are just as one's mental health is reflected in the workings and appearance of the body.

C.G. wrote, "Not infrequently the dreams show that there is a remarkable inner symbolical connection between an undoubted physical illness and a definite psychic problem, so that the physical disorder appears a a direct mimetic expression of the psychic situation" (CW 8, 502).

A young person related, "My dream last night was of an old man. He was decrepit, aging by the minute. The thing about the dream was that it took place in a seedy town, filled with down-and-out people who grumbled their way through life. The old man was a stooped over grumbler." The young man complained of how run down he was and how he couldn't find a reason for it. The dream spoke to his negative attitude and how colluding with grumbling lessened his psychic and physical health by the minute.

Underlying this person's problem was an inner saboteur, one symbolized by the stooped over and grumbling old man. The dreamer secretly wanted to cop out on life, to recede into dark corners in which meeting life's responsibilities could not possibly be done by one so tired and worn out. Grumbling was taking him there, quick. Physical disorders often reflect a psychic oppression that can be brought to the light of consciousness and helped to heal.

A dream shed light on a dark psychic state that directly affected his body. He was perpetually tired and needed to discover the reason. The dream dramatized what he did to himself, how he damaged his mind, and how this negatively impacted his body. We are holistic beings. Dreams, psyche, and body work together via inner symbolical connections that facilitate inner movement away from destructiveness and into  physical and psychic health.
