My Approach
The debilitated cores of my clients generate struggles that fall into two categories, which are two sides of the same coin. The first is direct struggle with negative emotion, such as rage and sorrow, fear, anxiety, and panic, depression, worthlessness and shame, and feeling powerless and alone. The second is struggles with negative behavioral dynamics that are driven by these negative emotions. These play out in relationships with your body, people, your job, etc. and tend to generate conflict and distance instead of connection and flow with them. All of my clients struggle with both types of these challenges even if one side is more pronounced than the other.
When we get torn up at the core level, a healing process kicks in to try to overcome the damage that’s been done so the emotional system can build back to a state of wholeness. As an emotional whisperer, my approach focuses on working with and boosting this process so it can have a chance to succeed. My clients need to take an active part in this process so they can stop unwittingly working against it and start to learn how to contribute to it. As my clients start to heal, they build both emotional strength and skill that they then learn to apply to on-the-ground challenges in their lives so they can learn to more fluidly navigate them. This allows them to progressively heal (internal) and create more connection and flow in their lives (external).
The more my clients heal and generate success in their lives, the deeper they’re able to progress with the healing process. The further they go, the more we bring focus and structure to the process so they can work their way towards the challenges that matter the most to them. If that means resolving your panic attacks, overcoming depression, building up your business, or finding a romantic parter, we design your process to organically move towards and into this challenge. By the time you get there, you will have gotten strong and skilled enough to be ready to dance with and create success with it.
Testimonials
‘Doug is a rare kind of practitioner, in that he has the capacity to understand very subtle, complex dynamics as well as support clients in implementing the changes needed to actually create long-lasting life transformation. I’ve worked with Doug a couple different times in my life and feel very fortunate to have crossed paths with him, as our work together has supported me in developing more strength, self-knowledge, clarity, grit, and ultimately in becoming more of who I actually am. If you are ready to put in the work, I highly recommend saying yes to working with Doug. I am deeply grateful for his support, guidance, and collaboration, and for how much more capacity I have to meet my life wholeheartedly as a result of our work together.’—SG
‘When I started working with Doug, I was shy, afraid to stand up for myself, and not nearly as confident as I am now. Our work together caused a deep healing within me. What’s more, I’ve learned a set of tools and frame works that I apply to my daily life to handle any situation. Through my deeper understanding of my emotional world, I’m able to better manage my life and the confidence that I can handle anything is very strong. Now I’m running my own business, standing up for myself like a ‘Man’, and Doug’s skill and ability was the key.’—JW
