Generative Integration on the Creative Path with Dr. Stephen Gilligan

Extraordinary journeys of self-discovery often begin with a simple invitation. NARM practitioners encourage these explorations by asking clients to set an intention for the work ahead from the beginning. Stephen Gilligan, PhD., takes a similarly powerful approach. At the start of each visit, he warmly receives both the client and their trauma into the therapeutic space.  Dr. Gilligan is a psychotherapist, author, workshop leader, and transformation specialist. His work focuses on the awakening of the soul, drawing parallels from other traditions where such explorations are essential to awakening the human spirit. Dr. Gilligan discusses his life's work, what he's learned about connection and fulfilling core needs, plus the creative paths that bring clients back into life and a happy future.  About Stephen Gilligan, PhD.: Stephen Gilligan, Ph.D., is a psychologist who received his doctorate from Stanford University.
