Hi, am a therapist too and started the coaching training, it's bringing everything I ever learned together in an amazing program and process and am loving it. Worth checking out. Annelies
Interesting delineation of the four types of intellect. I'm curious how you landed on those four vs. something like Jung's four types. Also curious to know more about what somatic work you employ with clients.
In this article I’m doing something a little different. Instead of mapping directly onto Jung’s functions, I’m carving the territory in terms of intellects that show up in identity work. My aim is less typology in the strict Jungian sense and more a pragmatic map for how people process experience and make choices in real time. On the somatic side, I work with the body as the ‘live readout’ of a person’s narrative and nervous system.... and I use tapping, stroking, havening, EMDR as well as movement/flow/dance based on the person. This work adjust to the way the individuals subconscious expresses
Ahhh, very interesting. And are you attempting to balance someone decision making through weaker intellects? Emphasizing the strengths? or more a case by case approach?
I’ve realized somatic work is a huge gap in my knowledge base. Do you have an other articles where you talk about that more in depth?
This really captures how identity, emotion, and the body lock together over time.
The piece I’d add is this: Patterns don’t just persist because they’re unconscious.
They persist because they stabilise something.
A person can see a story clearly and still remain organised around it — because a more accurate way of being would create more instability than their system can hold.
So the work isn’t just rewriting the story or regulating the emotion.
It’s increasing the capacity to stay with what’s true long enough for it to actually reorganise you.
Without that, insight can sit on the surface while everything underneath stays the same.
I'm trying to save Civilization by drawing attention to an extraordinary moment that's trying to happen. The monks Theory of Everything is explaining mystery after mystery after mystery while our scientists are saying crazy things and admitting that they can't make sense of any of the crazy things they are saying and now cannot understand 95% of the universe.
We need to quickly start solving our problems which this allows us to do otherwise we will resort to violence to solve our problems. I was hoping that you would help me avoid that by letting me somehow talk to your audience or maybe write an article with you to your audience about this exciting moment and get some attention that it deserves?
The most brilliant philosophy ✨
Following you and very interested. Im a therapist of half a century incorporating everything and always learning.
