My private practice is called "Climactic Resolutions," alluding to this climactic point in the human story, to the resolutions we make to ourselves and others, and to the resolution of the mounting climatic and planetary crises that will allow better stories about human's impact on, and place in, the biosphere to take stage of collective attention. I work with clients in nine-to-tenth month blocks of time, similar to the length of a school year. Rather than open-ended therapy with an uncertain date of conclusion, time-limited therapy can inspire both clients and their therapists to make more active use of the time available to them. We create areas of focus in the early stages of our "course" of treatment together. Through weekly psychotherapy sessions as well as personal resolutions to engage routinely in contemplative, creative and/or embodied practices, we explore and hone ways of being, and their accompany mind-body states, that put our work, relationships, economic and political participation, and conscious experiences into alignment at personally and ecologically sustainable levels. I refer to this alignment as Eco-Integrity and to any moment that provides a lived sense of this attunement——big or small, epic or mundane—as an Expanded State.
