Outside of my formal academic training as a psychologist, most of what I can do are innate talents I have gained confidence in over the years that I have always been adept at.  Aside from that most of the rest is a result of me becoming curious about a part of my life that needs some attention and starting to devour a book on something related that I think might help, then integrating what I learn so I can move forward in life or sometimes move back to myself.  I use everything described on this website myself.  

By listening intently, I hear the subtext of what has been said and connect to the knowledge within me.  The right question to ask rises in me, the answer to which illuminates the next step of awareness in the conversation and we dive ever deeper in search of the essence or ‘bottom’ of the conversation.
