Journal
Our journal offerings are where we share our experiences and learning — they are offered to give a sense of who we are and whether you would like to work with us:
What is Traumatic Stress?
The heart races without warning. Certain sounds send your system into alarm that feels completely out of proportion. This isn't overreaction—it's threat responses taking over below conscious awareness. This is about traumatic stress and what makes healing possible
Body Memory
The mind may have moved on, but the body tells a different story. This is about how traumatic events are held as body memory—repetitive responses that persist long after conscious memory has tried to let go
Healing happens in relationship
What determines whether a person heals is not the severity of what happened but the quality of the relational environment in which they try to recover. This is about healing in relationship
Chi Kung (Qigong) & The Art of Deep Listening
Healing is cumulative. It asks for patience our culture doesn't prepare us for—and it needs to be part of ordinary everyday life, in small repeated moments.
Organismic Regulation - The Art of Returning to Self
The vasomotoric cycle—the body's natural movement from rest through activation and back again. What happens when it breaks, and what I've learned about finding rhythm again.
The Ugly Duckling
The ugly duckling story is three-quarters dark and one-quarter light. This is about the part we don't talk about enough—when kindness arrives but cannot be received.
The Importance of Embodied Relating
Embodied relating is our capacity to be embodied whilst being in relationship with another. The depth of internal connection determines the depth of external connection.
The Art of Flâneurie
To flâneur is to open ourselves up to an invitation to travel ‘somewhere,’ to have an experience that changes the way we sees things and in doing so change our lives. The road does not promise any guaranteed destination; it is not a means to an end.
What if nothing needs fixing?
The major sticking point for many people in relationships is the belief that there is a problem that needs fixing, either with themselves or more often than not with their partner. This mistaken belief leads to arguments and recrimination.
The Great Venture
“I have a theory that theories are destructive.” Despite Carl Whitaker’s iconic status, and his success in challenging psychological orthodoxies, nearly half a century later we find ourselves no less mired in theory.
Welcome to the Chef’s Table
Hayley and I are addicted to the Netflix series Chef’s Table. Each of the six episodes features a world renowned chef. The dishes are exquisite, many are improbably complex, all extraordinary: and yet… six months later there are only two that we now remember.
