Counseling
I have been doing some counseling work to get ready for the surgery. I have been using some Gestalt work Setting an Intention: I have been working with how I will be after the surgery. I am putting my belief and a vision of that belief out daily. The belief statement I came up with […]
Exercise
As far a exercise, I am taking advantage of the PREP program at the local health club ACAC. I get 60 days to workout for $60 pre surgery. This is great for me because I have let myself get out of shape and let my blood cortisol levels get a little high. These get high […]
Structural Integration

Ancient History of My Knee
I trained with Roger Woolger in a process he called Deep Memory Process. Roger wrote the book “Other Lives Other Selves: A Jungian Pyschotherapist Discovers Past Lives”. We learned how to do regressions in order to resolve complexes in this life. One of the recurring issues for me was lifetimes of injuries to my Right […]
