Depth Psychotherapy Devoted To Insight, Growth, and Dream Work

505-401-2388

I specialize in depth psychotherapy, treating the unconscious mind via emotional processing and dreamwork. Dreams and emotions are royal roads to the unconscious mind. Our growth-oriented consultations unravel the hidden meanings within your dreams and feelings. We tap into practical insight that can help illuminate your path in life. Dreams, in particular, are soul messengers. They carry profound wisdom that, once understood, becomes a powerful tool for facing inner truths and generating practical change.

During an initial session, we explore whether personal consultation and dream work may help reveal blind spots, provide clarity, and restore your footing in life. With over forty years of intensive psychotherapy practice, I work toward helping each patient experience a focused collaboration that furthers mental clarity and emotional relief.

If you are in a psychological crisis, my practice is currently at capacity. In such cases, consult your primary care physician or call the National Hotline - 988. While my practice is unavailable for crisis care, I may have periodic openings for growth-oriented consultations and dream work. Please feel free to call and inquire.

Professional Affiliations: Depth Psychology Alliance, the International Association of Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, the International Association for Jungian Studies, and the International Association for the Study of Dreams.

All consultations are conducted via teletherapy.

Session Fee: $250

GEt Well . . . Slowly

March 10, 2021  /  Paul DeBlassie III

Forty years into treating patients in psychotherapy, and I’m still struck by how people want to get well—quickly. Health-minded folks hear the siren call to run to the next “healthy fix.” Going from one health fad to the next inevitably leaves you high on what’s new then ground down by disappointment. Yet another get-well-quick promise dashes you against the rocks.

The inner draw to be well is natural. It’s enchanting, ever-present, and elusive. As one person it, “There’ always been something in me saying I could make it. At some point, I’d find what I’ve been looking for. I’d be well. But, I never reached it.” After time spent soul work, they said, “It’s strange, I’ve found well being but it’s different than I thought—it’s there but always changing, shifting. Always more to grow into.”

So often, I run across those who, as I say, mainline bliss. It’s spiritual bypassing. These folks get a temporary bliss fix. It’s trying to obtain goodness without doing the work. They get blissed out, high on meditation, religion, yoga, and mind-altering substances. These may have a place when appropriately used. At least for a while, they may provide relief from stress and induce calmness. However, there is the inevitable let-down. Turning outside for what can be found only inside leaves us in a spiritual nowhere land.

Sensing the desire for good feelings is a good thing! Now, there’s work to do. Good feelings call to us, then we need to do the work. There are lifestyle issues, emotional and spiritual issues, and relationship issues to sort through. Getting well doesn’t happen without doing work. Facing what we need to face, to stop going so fast and turn within, to slowly do inner work opens us to growth! Paraphrasing my patient, well being is there for you. But it’s different than you thought. And there’s always more to grow into.
