Become who you are meant to be.
Guidance for Living a Self-Actualized and Awakened Life
The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.
- Carl Jung​
​​The great adventure of our lives is to become a conscious, integrated, and self-actualized person. I help people with the practical aspects of this process, which involves working with our psyche in our daily lives and relationships. ​
​​
Whether you are in search of emotional healing, personal empowerment, or higher consciousness, I can help you understand the deepest themes of your life and experience transformation.
I do this through a professional, mentoring relationship that honors who you are on all levels. If the popular therapy and spiritual marketplace are not working for you, I welcome you to reach out for a deeper approach. ​
Hi, I'm Michael Damian
My work is about helping you take care of your inner life so that your outer life can flourish. Feeling supported through a tough time can be incredibly valuable.
​
I offer a powerful combination of deep listening and practical guidance. Sometimes we will explore the past, but the key is to understand how it is affecting you now and what to do about it.
​
My role is to meet my clients at their growing edge, the place between the old and the new. I listen for the pain that's never been heard and needs to be spoken. I also listen for the words and ideas that signal new energy and growth in you.
​
I make the process transformative and life-changing. You will receive plenty of guidance and feedback. Call me and I'll guide you through the process of getting started.
The Human Condition - a Depth View
If you've been told that your suffering comes only from thoughts, false beliefs, or the ego, then I'm here to tell you that’s not true.
​
Emotional pain arises from deeper roots --- trauma, relational wounds, developmental gaps, addictions, and ingrained personality patterns. Negative thoughts are symptoms, not causes.
As suffering cannot be reduced to thoughts or “the ego,” (whatever that means), it cannot be cured by detaching from thoughts. Healing comes through growth, and growth is a transformative experience. It involves internalizing empathy, gaining insight, and integrating the personality.
Meditation can help, but many spiritual teachers mislead when they say suffering ends by recognizing awareness. Awareness alone cannot mend the fractures of the psyche. Many people are highly aware and intuitive, but they still suffer deeply. They tend to split a polished spiritual identity from the messier, ordinary, or distorted parts of themselves, dismissing these as ego.
No one is beyond their humanity. Transcendent experiences don’t make us into angels. Real healing arises through the sustained experience of connection, self-knowledge, and empowered living.
A spirituality that reduces suffering to thought or ego leads us away from the sacred work of knowing ourselves. Transformation happens when we honor our complexity, bringing consciousness to what is unconscious.
