"Both profound and practical, this book integrates cutting edge neuroscience, esoteric wisdom, a heartfelt appreciation of the natural world, and powerfully effective psychological methods. It's genuinely brilliant."  Rick Hanson, Ph.D., author of Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom

​"Eric somehow manages to distil a lifetime of experience, spiritual practice and psychological learning into a very accessible, comprehensive model of human psychology and behaviour. Not since Ken Wilber have I read such a concise and useful synthesis of psychology, spirituality and ecology. I find it incredibly useful in my work as a therapist and as a guide on my own spiritual journey."  Richard Chambers, PhD psychologist and coauthor of Mindful Learning and Mindful Relationships

The Importance of Individual Therapy

Individual Psychotherapy, Counselling and Hypnotherapy
Quite possibly the most important relationship is the one we have with ourselves. The more self respect, acceptance and esteem we have the more we have to offer others and the better we manage the challenges of relationships with others. Individual counselling and psychotherapy can be very important in healing the relationship with ourselves.  This can be especially important when recovering from a relationship breakup or divorce, or before going into a new relationship.

Individual Psychotherapy for Chronic Conditions

Psychotherapy
Individual Psychotherapy is especially useful for treating chronic anxiety, depression, personality disorders and trauma related conditions (PTSD, Chronic Stress, Adjustment Disorder). For therapy to be effective changes must happen in the body where trauma and repressed emotions are held. 
Learning Self Compassion and radical self acceptance are a big part of this process.
Contrary to some common misperceptions effective psychotherapy does not need to take years.  In many cases the ten sessions Medicare rebates is adequate to make lasting change.
