Michael A. Gordon
MSc Candidate, Consciousness and Transpersonal Psychology
Psychotherapy from a transpersonal approach ('self beyond the ego'). Level 1 training in EMDR (Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing). This technique was orginally developed to treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and can be applied to virtually any other kind of physical or emotional trauma from chronic pain, depression and sleep disorders to panic attacks. EMDR can significantly reduce the time required by conventional talk therapy to resolve emotional trauma. Being physiologically based, it is a process of self-healing that releases the 'frozen' traumatic signature of past events, and restores the client to mental, emotional and physical well-being. In the cause of trauma, one is able to recall the event without being re-triggered.

Emphasis is placed on helping the client find the root causes of suffering, anxiety or unease, from their early family history, through present relationships to desired future outcomes. The focus is on first helping the client develop emotional awareness of underlying beliefs and behavioural patterns towards making more positive, holistic choices in their life.

Michael also offers personal excellence coaching, which differs from psychotherapy in that it involves shorter sessions focused on creating a specific strategy with the client for success rather than dealing with deeper issues.

Testimonials:

  • "Michael's approach successfully straddled the fine line between spiritual and practical concerns in addressing my business needs and questions. I went away feeling inspired and informed. While working together, Michael helped me see a refreshing new creative perspective, providing the right balance of knowledge and energy to make me passionate and motivated.

  • "I have felt depressed and hopeless very often in life without knowing the reason--especially so after being married. I chose to work with Michael to change my perspective, and work on my relationship with people. Michael has helped me tremendously, especially in his ability to make me look back into my past and dig into the root causes. He helped me dig into my problems in only a couple of conversations and I am very thankful to him."
