Michael Ulrich: Meeting Ourselves and Others through the Practice of Presence

Send us a message!Welcome back to Make Life Less Difficult.My guest today is Michael Ulrich.Michael is a contemplative psychotherapist based in Copenhagen, Denmark, with a background in clinical practice, systems thinking, and integral development. His work bridges traditional therapeutic modalities with emergent, self-organizing ways of relating and healing.In our conversation today, Michael and I explore the ongoing practice of presence—what it means to meet ourselves and others without needing to fix or explain. We speak about narrative and identity, power and subtlety, and what emerges when we listen deeply, even to silence.This dialogue invited me to slow down, to notice the patterns beneath the words, and to trust the wisdom that arises in shared reflection. Michael’s insights—both personal and professional—are a powerful reminder of how growth and groundedness can coexist.Michael, thank you for this rich and layered conversation. I’m still unpacking it.To learn more about Michael and his work, you can connect with him here:Michael’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/psykologmichaelulrich/Let’s dive in.Support the showMake Life Less Difficult~   Support:buymeacoffee.com/lisatilstra
