Reading and writing have always been part of how I listen inward.

Currently reading:

The Soul's Code — James Hillman

On the nightstand:

Unconscious Roots of Creativity — Kathryn Madden
The Virgin's Promise — Kim Hudson
A Jungian Approach to Engaging Our Creative Nature — Robert Sardello
Body Dreaming in the Treatment of Developmental Trauma — Marian Dunlea

Books that stay with me

The Swamplands of the Soul — James Hollis
On finding meaning in grief, depression, and the places we'd rather not visit — proof that the dark parts of life aren't obstacles to the work, they are the work.

Healing the Shame That Binds You — John Bradshaw
A cornerstone for understanding how shame takes root early, and how it can finally be metabolized rather than carried silently.

The War of Art — Steven Pressfield
On resistance — the invisible force that keeps us from the work we're called to do, and how to meet it anyway.

Addiction to Perfection — Marion Woodman
On the tyranny of the inner critic, and reclaiming the body and instinct from the grip of perfectionism.

Resources I often reference

Eros and Psyche — Erich Neumann
A mythic lens on individuation — how love and consciousness grow together, not separately.

Come As You Are — Emily Nagoski
A clear, compassionate, and genuinely useful guide to understanding desire — many clients find it helpful.

Play — Stuart Brown
On play not as a break from serious life, but as essential to how we grow, adapt, and stay whole.

Flow — Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
On the state of full absorption where self-consciousness disappears and something larger takes over — music, art, or the work itself.

The Steps Workbook — Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA)

Getting the Love You Want — Harville Hendrix

Attached — Amir Levine and Rachel Heller

Wired for Love and We Do — Stan Tatkin
