Mark Forman

Mark Forman is an integrally-informed licensed therapist in the state of California. His book "The Monster's Journey: From Trauma to Connection" examines trauma using an adaptation based off of Joseph's Campbell transformational guide "The Hero with a Thousand Faces." An integral life practice requires us to examine our shadow and do the work of cleaning up. When we don't challenge and confront our own adverse childhood experiences, or trauma, our lives become fragmented. Our narratives become incoherent. Anakin Skywalker becomes Darth Vader. Mark is transparent, vulnerable and bravely bears his soul by sharing his own traumatic experiences that led him to write The Monster's Journey, a book provides Ariadne's thread to those souls that have lost their way in the labyrinth and have become their own minotaur. Society calls them monsters, or anti-heroes. Mark dons the archetypal robes of the Healer in The Monster's Journey to help these wounded souls connect with their true selves so they can make their life story and lives integrated again.
