The Challenge
Explaining my approach brings a challenge similar to the one ‘whisperers’ face in this culture. If you’ve seen the dog whisperer (Cesar Millan) or horse whisperers (such as Pat Parelli) work with their respective animals on YouTube, it seems that they have magical powers to help the animals overcome their issues and problems, but they don’t. Instead, what they’re able to do is to attune to how the animals experience and struggle with life, and this allows them to see what’s needed to help bring tangible change to their struggles. People often own an animal for years and miss this experience of attunement because they usually see the animal’s experience through their own eyes instead of through the animal’s. In so doing they aren’t able to understand why their animals are struggling in the ways that they are.
My approach works off of the same basic experience. People spend a lifetime with their emotional systems, but because they never learn to attune to how they work and what they need, issues and problems naturally occur that they are powerless to really change. Because my approach is grounded in being able to understand and work with the mechanics of how your emotional system works, I’m able to help my clients get to the heart of their issues and problems so we can help them tangibly change. This demands that my clients heal at a core level, which takes some time and work, so you won’t see the immediate change that the dog and horse whisperers are able to accomplish. But the results are nonetheless just as powerful and life changing.
Testimonials
‘Working with Doug has been the most profoundly transformative experience of my life. Before I became Doug’s client it seemed life was just happening to me. I felt stuck and overwhelmed by dark feelings…and I had absolutely no idea how to feel better. I was constantly in reaction mode, seeking out highs to medicate the awful feeling I had inside. We began our work 3 years ago and since then my life has dramatically improved in every way. The combination of Doug’s insight and his strong connection to the healing power of Creation assisted me in creating tangible, sustainable shifts in my life I never anticipated.’—SS
‘When I first started working with Doug, I couldn’t access my core, and could barely perceive of its existence. Through the work with Doug, I was able to find an inroad to this core wound and make a place for it to exist so I could start to connect to it and create change. Peeling back the layers was a slow and intense process, but one in which I was never without the tools necessary to succeed. Having arrived on the other side of this challenge, I greet each new day with an intense gratitude for having gone through this process. It changed my life, provided me with a freedom I couldn’t have imagined possible, and gave me access to personal depths that continue to teach me even years after finishing the work with Doug.’—JT
