Attunement Licensed therapist, husband, brother, son. "Feeling is freedom" Are you dealing with mental health issues but unhappy with the recommended “treatment” options?

Trying talk therapy, dabbling with medication, or reading self-help books in the hopes of knowing yourself better, feeling in control and confident? That was me too, and it was TONS of my clients. We all thought that traditional therapy and psychiatry were our only options. But those things only go so far…

The way we do things is different:

❌We don’t rely on diagnosing or labeling something as wrong with you
❌We don’t believe talking is the only way to solve things
❌And we certainly don’t think the use of psychedelics is wrong or reckless

You want to heal and thrive, feel alive in your body, connected, and capable of facing any challenge life throws you! Attunement Psychedelic Healing is a community of like-minded individuals seeking growth and healing using psychedelic medicine.

Please don’t get it twisted. I do not present this message to you as someone who claims to be “embodied.”

In fact, it is quite the opposite. The more I learn about what embodiment actually is, and the more I experience those moments of touching that place of wholeness, the more I recognize how little I know.

The shift from the mind/body split within which we all exist toward a worldview rooted in wholeness is so dramatic that we don’t even recognize it.

In his book Radical Wholeness, Phillip Shepherd calls this whole-blindness.

He illustrates this beautifully by describing what happens when you push a seed into the ground.

Once the seed is planted, you begin to relate to that ground as “mine.” That ground must be defended, and the stray plant that grows next to the seed becomes a “w**d.”

Animals become “vermin” from which you must protect your land and your seed. And if a tree grows too large and shades the ground where your seed is growing, you cut it down.

The land stops being a living whole and becomes a collection of things categorized according to whether they serve or threaten your individual project.

So much of our civilization is built upon this way of thinking. And this same pattern is reflected all the way from our societal structures to the relationships we have with our own bodies.

Split and alienated all the way down.

If we hope to create a different future, we must continue the descent back into our bodies.

We must learn to recognize forms of intelligence that cannot be reduced to conceptual understanding, but are experienced through the body, in relationship with the living world around us.

May we continue to stand on the shoulders of the giants who came before us and showed us the way.

And may we be courageous enough to follow the path, even when it asks us to challenge the very assumptions upon which our culture is built.

I didn’t make this points as clearly as I would have liked to in the reel so here’s the larger point.

The five senses we have identified in Western culture are part of a story. They are not the default story; plenty of people from all over the world tell a different story.

Our story of perception and being, built upon the experience of these five senses is incredibly limited and carries many implications for how we view and experience the world.

I am increasingly fascinated by the exploration of being. Being in the body and how that dictates our capacity to be in the world and to be available to love and be loved.

We are profoundly disconnected, and the deeper I explore this problem, the more multifaceted it becomes.

This reel was inspired by reading Culture and the Senses: Bodily Ways of Knowing in an African Community by Kathryn Linn Geurts.

Thanks for watching. If you really enjoy these kinds of conversations and explorations, you would dig my newsletter.

It’s much easier to go in depth through that medium and it bypasses the algorithm so you actually get to see what I put out.

First thing to understand is that shame is a coping mechanism and an adaptive survival strategy.

It usually appears in childhood and early development as a way for child consciousness to make sense of bad things happening in their life.

When bad things happen, the child learns to believe they are happening because of them. The child thinks, “If I learn to be good, good things will happen.”

This makes sense developmentally, but it obviously lacks nuance and is a simple or immature way to view the world.

Then we grow into adults without recognizing that this child consciousness is still in charge and calling the shots.

As long as child consciousness, carrying the shame-based identity, calls the shots, shame will rule your life.

As I say in the video, most people don’t even recognize how much of their life is dictated by shame. How much of their life is dictated by their desire to avoid being seen as bad, broken, unlovable, etc.

Once you start noticing the shame you will see a new path emerge. This path is the path of fear.

In challenging opportunities child consciousness will activate and want to follow the familiar path of shaming yourself. But adult consciousness has the option to face the fear instead.

This is where life force is generated, and this is where we mature into adult consciousness.

I have a couple three things coming out regarding shame.

1. I will release a workbook next month (November) that gives you everything I know about shame and the material I teach in my 6-week Decoding the sbOS course.

2. I am putting together a 3-week shame challenge to accompany the workbook’s release.

3. I am offering the 6-week Decoding the sbOS course again in January 2027.

All three of these offerings are different ways to engage with the material at different price points to increase accessibility.

If you want to be alerted when these offerings come out you can join my mailing list. The mailing list is the only guaranteed way to see my stuff.

Comment “sbos” and you’ll get a message to join the list.

Happy Friday!

I understand both sides of the argument here and I do not fault anyone for choosing the path that works for them or the path that their circumstances necessitate.

And I really want to stamp out the sentiment that I describe in the video that faults therapists for seeking a living. It’s very strange.

We don’t fault other professionals in the health and medical field for earning a living. In fact we venerate doctors, put them on pedestals and every parent hopes their child will go to medical school one day.

I don’t totally understand the mechanism that has placed therapists in this position, nor do I understand why therapists themselves have become complicit in the castigation of their peers, but this dynamic serves nobody.

The sentiment seems to be shifting slightly, as evidenced by the proliferation of therapist creators online teaching others to start cash-pay practices. I like to see that, I think it signals a healthy shift toward sustainability and prioritizing the therapist’s wellbeing.

I feel a growing urge to gather together as therapists and discuss these issues. A place where we can come together and envision what this profession could be.

I imagine a sort of townhall where we can share what is working, what is not working, our dreams, and just gather inspiration for shaping our little corner of the world in our communities.

I think our creativity could rub off on each other and we could birth some magic.

These thoughts are still nascent, and I’m pausing on new projects for a minute while I wait to welcome our baby girl.

But if you are a therapist, healer, helper, or other adjacent practitioner and want to be a part of this, comment “townhall” and I will add you to a mailing list where I will send out updates as I clarify the vision.

Looking forward to connecting!

Thank you Brad Reedy, Ph.D. for the wisdom.

I don’t know what I don’t know. I can only rely on the lived experiences of those who have come before me.

So I reserve the right to retract everything I have said thus far about parenting... lol

Something tells me, there is much in store that I could not possibly anticipate no matter how much I listen to other folks.

Thanks for watching ya’ll, I hope you have a wonderful day.

If you came to me and said you couldn’t bench press 225 lbs because you had never trained I wouldn’t diagnose you with strength deficit disorder. I would tell you to find a training plan, follow through and then shoot for the rep.

If I were training for stable attention this is what I would commit to for 90 days. (I do and have done all of this by the way).

1. I would get off all substances for 90 days. No caffeine, no ni****ne, no alcohol, no w**d, no nothing. I understand this is a huge ask for many people, but this cleansing is necessary to get back to baseline in order to accurately assess your current state.

2. I would commit to a meditation practice. I prefer vipassana style, and my favorite book to guide this is The Mind Illuminated. I would aim for 20 minutes a day.

3. I would ensure I get at least 90 minutes a day of deep work. This means you choose one thing and work on only that one thing during the work block. If you wander away or end up doing something else, notice it and return to the chosen task.

4. I would buy a Brick device and make my phone unusable during the most distracting times of the day. You know when that is, choose your times, be honest, and get that thing out of your way. I would also turn off all notifications on my devices.

5. I would commit to doing one thing at a time as regularly as possible. Avoid switching between multiple windows. No TV and IG at the same time. One thing at a time.

6. And finally, I would be very very very kind to myself. I would recognize that the world is constantly scheming to attack my attention. Every product, every device, every notification—it’s all coming at me.

The task at hand is huge. I am David; the environment is Goliath. If I am going to be mean to myself for falling short, I’ll trigger shame, and that will make things much worse.

BONUS: If I had the time and the means I would do 72 hours of no devices immersed in nature.

Where am I wrong? Let me know in the comments!

Couple of points to make here.

First, regarding the claim that talk therapy reinforces dissociation.

You have to recognize that most folks are so stuck in their heads that they intellectualize everything and pretend that cognitive understanding is the same as completing responses in the body or releasing allostatic load.

For most folks the defense against completion—the actual feeling of the thing—is the intellectualized and cognitive process. This perpetuates the dissociative cycle and presents the illusion of progress.

Second, I present a generalization here. But it is a generalization that I feel comfortable making because I have seen it repeatedly

Please don’t mistake the linear nature I am presenting here as hard fast truth. People can spend a long time in dissociation before it becomes uncomfortable.

For folks with deep relational traumas, especially preverbal or early developmental ones, it can take a long time for their system to recognize the discomfort of being alone.

I have spent hours seeking the cracks in the facade I mention in the video with people in this floaty space.

Sometimes we titrate back and forth quickly, sometimes its quite slow. Sometimes we get out of dissociation quickly only to land back there immediately because the somatic process is moving into overwhelm and we drop back into dissociation.

There is no single prognosis, and again it is not linear.

And finally, the process I describe here depends on relational safety.

Relationship is the solution to a dysregulated nervous system. For many clients we are reteaching their nervous system to trust relationship.

And that reteaching process sometimes requires them to spend a lot of time floating and alone while I invite them to check on the relational thread.

It is magical to watch their system make predictions about relationship, experience those errors, notice bubbles of relational safety and relational desire and start to use the relationship to complete the process.

I really can’t overstate how trippy and tricky dissociation is to work with.

We have a saying in the somatic world: “The last person to know they are dissociated is the person who is dissociated.”

So it’s this weird experience where you live behind this veil, But you don’t totally know you live behind this veil. And every once in a while the veil exposes itself.

Your life feels like a movie, you forget stretches of time, you can tell that something is off but you can’t quite put your finger on it.

Often this occurs because you are in a chronically dissociated state.

Talk therapy is entirely unequipped to work with this because you can’t talk your way into the safety necessary to exit the dissociated response.

You might have windows where you build insight and feel like things are changing, but as long as the underlying charge in your system remains unaddressed, and incomplete, your system will continue to default to dissociation.

I think more and more people are recognizing this which is why somatic modalities have gained so much popularity. Part of it is just trendy pop psych s**t that we see with every modality.

But on a deeper level I think its a collective recognition that we are not going to talk our way out of these problems. We are going to feel our way out of them.

If you want to know more about my work and be notified when I have availability copy “finch” on this post and I will add you to the mailing list.

And finally, post any questions you have below. Let’s continue the conversation.

The sbOS is a sneaky son of a bitch. Especially in the personal development world.

If you aren’t careful you will dedicate your life to fixing what is wrong with you. It might feel good for a while but it will ultimately fall short.

The “fix-it” energy depends on a deeper belief in your brokenness. If you are constantly signalling to that part that you must be fixed, then shame is still running the program.

It’s trippy because it’s paradoxical. You will only be done healing when you accept you don’t need to heal any more. And that acceptance will open up a whole new world of “healing” to go through.

Carl Rogers said it best: “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am then I can change.”

This is capital T Truth.

I lead the Decode the sbOS group regularly, and I intend to offer it quarterly next year. I am incredibly proud of the offering and the transformations people experience are incredible.

It is my best attempt at offering a personal development product that focuses less on your problems and instead on creating the acceptance necessary that makes change easy.

I recognize that the group offering is not financially available to everyone so I have taken all of the material and put it into a book/workbook.

I am extremely proud of this, it has been in the making for many many months and we are close to finally releasing it.

If you want to be on the waitlist and alerted when I release it comment “sbos” The automation will collect your email, and you’ll be the first to know when it’s released.

There are a lot of really bad coaches out there. And there are a lot of really bad therapists out there.

A credential does not mean you are fit for the work. And unfortunately, I think many folks hide behind their credentials and neglect their personal development.

So, going through the motions to get the license does not necessarily mean you will succeed. It means you can follow directions, which is most of what school teaches anyway.

The therapists I know who thrive are the ones who do their own work, and take their personal process as seriously as their clients’.

It’s a crazy job. Like really crazy. Especially now in the midst of a mental/spiritual crisis, increasing disconnection, and a generally numb and dissociated population.

It requires a lot from you, demanding a really high level of self-care and integrity.

You will burn out if you don’t consider it a lifestyle. You will burn out if you depend entirely on insurance companies sending you checks.

You can carve out a niche for yourself but it will take significant time and energy. Your niche, chosen effectively, will mirror your personal process, and you will attract the people who need your help.

But that is a journey and no one can give you that answer. You have to discover that for yourself.

Let me know if you have any other questions, and I’ll do my best to help!
