DreamWork Devoted To Insight, Transformation, and Growth

505-401-2388

I specialize in dreamwork with individuals seeking insight into self, relationships, and life’s crossroads. Dreams and emotions serve as royal roads to the unconscious mind. Our growth-oriented consultations uncover the hidden meanings within your dreams, troubling feelings, and relational upheavals. We access practical insights that illuminate your path in life. Dreams are soul messengers carrying profound wisdom that, once understood, become powerful tools for facing inner truths and generating practical change.

During our ten to twelve weekly dreamwork sessions, insights can reveal emotional blind spots, offer clarity, and restore your footing in life. I strive to help people discover light in the dark corners of the mind, facilitating a heightened sense of mental clarity, emotional relief, and openness to ongoing change and transformation.

Please note that my practice is limited to growth-oriented consultation. Mental health crisis intervention is best obtained through a referral from your primary care physician or the National Hotline-988. If you seek dreamwork for personal insight, transformation, and growth, consider calling to inquire about openings for virtual dream consultation.

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

Happiness Is A Choice...

April 21, 2015  /  Paul DeBlassie III

We can cultivate happiness once we choose happiness. We have choices. We aren’t victims of willy-nilly chance or meaningless circumstances. Things happen, then we decide what we’re going to do about them. If we don’t learn from them, we suffer; or we learn, understand, and grow.

Shamanic psychology teaches that illness and well being are choices. Don Juan, the shaman in Carlos Castaneda’s novels taught, “Well being is a condition one has to groom, a condition one has to become acquainted with” (Journey to Ixtlan p. 221). So easily, we become acquainted with negativism and illness, the shaman instructs earlier in the story. Disorder is an easy path—so many people set the example.

Psychic chaos and disorder can infect the atmosphere of everyday living and the self. Grooming well being is a challenge. One person told me, “I never realized that my foul moods contaminate the atmosphere around me. People suffer. I suffer.”

 When we open our minds to the potential for well being and happiness, we become more sensitized to moods and well being. What is on the inside inevitably makes its way out. People pick up on our state of mind. Awareness is the vital beginning of happiness.

 Many have doomed themselves to psychic dis-ease. They don’t feel or see any way out of miserable living. Some don’t want a way out even if they see one. “I’m so used to my grouchy ways I couldn’t live any other way,” one old guy admitted. Thus, once our psychic eyes are opened, we come to understand that happiness is real and is a choice.

 Pete arrived early for his 7:00 A.M. session. He told me he could hardly wait to get to session, a sense of hardy anticipation in the air. He had become enthusiastic in the course of his care as to what he might learn about himself in a given session. “It was one thing to get this far in therapy, to find happiness and find that it’s real. It’s another to take care of it and keep learning. There’s a tending to the soul that has to go on. I get that now, and I’m excited about it. It’s an ongoing adventure.”
