Immanence Therapy supports your nuanced life experience in its depth, beauty, and complexity.

We all are powerful creatures with the capacity to choose our reality, and to change it. If we look deeply, we will find that we are healthy and well at the core. We are all able to know and feel love, freedom, and peace. In our day to day life, we may forget this. We may have gotten used to limitations of who we can be in this life, and conditions for experiencing happiness. In this sense, therapy is a practice of remembrance.

The goal of therapy is to reconnect you with your innate gifts of intuition and instinct. Self-knowledge and self-mastery grow from returning into relationship with ourselves, with our forgotten true nature, our neglected parts. When we heal ourselves, we also heal our relationships, our families, our work, and our greater community.

What is High Attunement? 

I work especially with the trait of high attunement, which can show up in the following ways: 

• A heightened sensitivity to your own as well as the inner experience of others: You pick up on all the subtleties and nuances others might miss. You understand intricacies and complexities of a situation; it’s like you perceive a person, an event, or an abstract topic on several different layers at the same time.
• Strong sensory input (loud places, crowded rooms, bright lights, scratchy textures, high adrenaline situations, or multitasking) might be much more stressful for you than for others. You may thrive in quiet spaces, needing your alone time, or you might be able to calm your nervous system down by minimizing sensory input from your environment. 
• A strong need for deep and long processing times. You may notice that you need transition times from one activity or environment to another much more than others in your life. 
• Strong empathy, sometimes resulting in fuzzy boundaries with others, imbalanced or extractive (“toxic”) relationships, or a weak sense of self
• Strong intuition: A profound capacity to perceive and resonate with subtle mental, emotional, and energetic cues, the ability to “read the room”, and communicate wordlessly
• Strong sense for truth and justice, making it hard to walk through this world in all of its imperfection and, at times, blatant cruelty
• You need to see the purpose in what you do or how you live, or it can quickly become unbearable.
• You might be a very creative person, and repetition and the pragmatic aspects of life might be difficult for you.

Who may be highly attuned?

High attunement is not a diagnosis; it can be a natural trait you are born with, but in parts, it can also be learned behavior due to life experiences. Phenomena that I work with, and that can often be connected with high attunement are:

• Highly sensitive personality (HSP)
• Giftedness
• Neurodivergence (especially Autism Spectrum) and multi-exceptionality (more than one diagnosis, “2e“, etc.)
• Complex Trauma (C-PTSD)
• Anxiety
• Immigration and diaspora; complex or minority cultural/ethnic/racial backgrounds, Third Culture Kids, First Gen, BIPOC, expats
• Other often marginalized and oppressed communities, e.g. LGBTQIA+ 

This is not an exhaustive list; if you are going through a life transition, are grieving the loss of a loved one or a relationship, or if you are struggling with substance use, high attunement may very well be part of your makeup as well. 

Sessions
