About Bella
This offering presents an exploration in positive psychology. For someone who has previously experienced therapy and felt its gentle influence, yet senses that there is more to uncover without a clear path forward, this could be an opportunity to experiment with how language impacts our deepest understanding and presence. For those who cherish language, its components, and its purpose, and are curious about how personal language emerges from the depths of the unconscious, Wake Dreaming may provide an intriguing practice. While historical contexts and their myriad symbols shape the roles we play within narratives that “make sense,” there is much more to discuss regarding the forces that influence both our waking and sleeping lives. The mythologies that arise from pain, grief, sorrow, and joy belong to more genres and styles than there are people in the world. When I say, “I am sorry,” neither you nor I can fully grasp what it means or how I feel. I may understand it better than you do, yet I still struggle to articulate my feelings in a way that resonates with you. Wake Dreaming is a positive psychology practice designed to enhance your psychotherapeutic journey beyond the conventional norms dictated by language and the social narratives that shape your life. It also serves as an excellent way to cultivate spontaneity in speech and comfort with uncertainty-both of which are essential elements of effective communication with oneself and others.
