*1-1 Mentorship Information: Price & Structure (Maximum Capacity = 20 Clients Per Year)* It's an absolute pleasure to film these TH-cam videos, and I feel fortunate to receive an abundance of meaningful messages every week, but I am unfortunately faced with the disappointing reality of turning away the vast majority of people who want to work together. I have significantly limited availability and can only support twenty people per year because I do not offer one-off calls or drop-in consulting sessions. Twenty individuals might not sound like maximum capacity, but the last few years of teaching have taught me the importance of maintaining tight energetic boundaries if I want to keep uploading these free videos in addition to serving my current clients to the best of my ability in 2024. To minimise confusion and enhance transparency, I've spent several hours writing this ridiculously long comment to help you decide if my Inner Work Mentorship is the right choice for your development & what you could reasonably expect from working closely together. Please take the time to read this service description before contacting me on Instagram… or feel free to stop reading right now if you’re not interested in my fees, session structure, client expectations, etc. ... *READ BEFORE SCROLLING FURTHER:* I'm interested in long-term change and structural transformation, which is why I've never offered one-off sessions. Complex issues cannot be resolved in a few hours, but we likewise need to define an upper limit for containment and collaboration. I've learned that deep and enduring self-integration requires at least four months of immersive effort. Why four months? It's enough weekly contact for us to work through multiple complex issues and developmental possibilities, but short enough to mitigate against unconscious co-dependency and motivational stagnation. I'm currently accepting a maximum of two new clients per month - message me after reading the following section to check my availability. ... *HOW I WORK & WHO I WORK WITH* Unlike other coaches and teachers who take an understandably more relaxed approach to healing and integration, my mentorships are characteristically intense. This is a highly-demanding, high-investment process which requires our consistent combined effort over a period of four months. If we were to start working together, I would reasonably expect you to be excited to show up for a minimum of 10+ hours of self-motivated transformative practice per week (daily reading, fitness routine, creative exercises, spiritual reflection, etc.) while also maintaining full-sobriety (no drink, no drugs, no cigarettes, no vapes). These strict standards of discipline and sobriety are plainly unsuitable for most people in most situations - even genuinely motivated individuals who resonate with my TH-cam videos may not be the right match for four months of structured mentorship. If you want to get deeper, I've noticed that there's a certain type of ‘temperament' & 'timing’ to get the most out of me. I'm interested in alert, creative and purpose-driven individuals who aspire to exceptional standards of self-maturation and would enjoy the feeling of going through week-on-week of progressively stacked transformative experiences for a third of a year: my ideal client is somebody who is willing to bring forward their internal complexity with a sense of courage and transparency with the intention of nothing less than full-spectrum transformation & rapid acceleration on their personal path. I am yet to discover another supportive figure who offers something comparable to this mentorship: a four-month, structured yet flexible 1-1 container which is simultaneously therapeutic, academic and action-oriented; with primary focus placed on tangible improvements in your felt sense of self-knowledge and self-integration; in addition to making consistent and meaningful progress towards your unique goals and mentorship aspirations. I prioritise contact, compassion and accountability, which means that your work never really 'ends' at the end of your session. You can reasonably expect to be fed dozens of customised reading suggestions and follow-on perspectives outside of the formal sessions via friendly and informal messenger contact, where I am active and available four days per week to cultivate an intimate personal connection while likewise enhancing your positive momentum via accountability check-ins and additional support as required. By way of conclusion for what feels like an extraordinarily long comment and service description, I feel compelled to once more emphasise that working directly with me is unrealistic for most people in most situations. I often support people who are accustomed to wrestling with the emotional challenges associated with working through complex wounds in previous therapeutic relationships before we begin our coaching work together. Even individuals without 'hard trauma' can expect moments of pressurised darkness and heaviness during periods of shadow contact as you begin to restructure your personal unconscious. We will be exploring your psyche and soma at scale and depth, and it will be your responsibility to keep me informed about the emotional texture of your internal reality, especially if you encounter negatively charged experiences, and I will of course do everything in my power to support you through the hard times as we integrate the darkness and move forwards together. TH-cam is a wonderful place for me to share free research resources and offer accessible inner work invitations; my private mentorships, however, are the place for collaborative partnership and emotional security as we identify, navigate and restructure oftentimes confronting and challenging conscious and unconscious physical, emotional and mental material. Ultimately, this is a highly-demanding but highly-rewarding process which requires the best of our shared intentions. ... *SESSION STRUCTURE & FEES:* The total fee for an Inner Work Mentorship (including 12 x 2 hr sessions) is £7,400 GBP or approximately $9,400 USD. This is my only coaching programme, and my mentorship pricing is liable to adjustment over time.
Each private session lasts two hours, and is facilitated via Telegram video call at an ideal time for both of us. Your mentorship extends over a linear four-month period, with a total of twenty-four hours of structured session time, in addition to four days per week of unlimited messenger availability for accountability updates, voice note exchanges and informal calls upon occasion. I do not work on Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays, but I am fully-available across all timezones for regular calls and messenger contact on Thursday - Sunday. If you’ve scrolled this far, and resonate with what I’m offering, I invite you to message me on Instagram. It would be my pleasure to start exploring your goals and intentions in real-time. IMPORTANT: I am an intentionally independent coach, and not a licensed therapist or associated with any professional bodies or coaching institutions, and therefore enjoy the freedom to collaborate with my clients across all areas of life in an intimate, direct and highly involved coaching style. I work with no more than twenty people per year, and am currently accepting a maximum of two new clients per month. I also manage my own inbox and do not use automated systems or employ people to pretend to be me on Instagram, which means that it usually takes four to six weeks for me to respond to new messages and begin the interview process. Although my approach takes time, I hope you ultimately appreciate my personal emphasis on authentic and confidential communication from the very beginning of our relationship. I once again encourage you to message me immediately if you want to start working together within the next two months - bump yourself to the top of my inbox, and I’ll send you some voice notes to get our conversation started.
Your channel will blow up soon. I can feel it. Thank you for taking the time to share such pertinent information. Straight-to-the-point, while also being gentle and compassionate. I listen to this often as I have been told by my intuition for very long to get pass this archetype... it gets things done, but at a cost that doesn’t serve the all just the other. I would tell people, if I can’t help myself I guess I will help others. Very unhealthy. Feels unbalanced many times. This video brings clarity to many of the patterns and issues. Again, very appreciated and needed.
Wow, that makes sooo much sense! That's just what I needed to hear. I've been reading and learning so much lately, maybe too eager to learn it all to start "helping others" while feeling that I still have so much to do for myself. This idea of feeling that you have to know all the references and everything else as if you were a "walking library" is just so common in the society that was I thinking I would never reach the level of having learned everything I need so that I could start working as a "healer". Still doing a lot of shadow integration here and finally accepting that digesting information take time, so your video has really helped me accept that more peacefully.
You’re right, there is so much freedom when we release that old perfections pattern and allow ourself to not be a ‘walking library’... but instead return the information to its proper place: the bookshelf! Glad that this video landed, it’s my pleasure to share!
*INNER WORK ESSENTIALS - EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES (what you'll get from these videos)* On completion of this series, the student should expect to be: 1) Auto-therapeutic. The student will feel generally competent in their ability to select and self-administer the most suitable therapeutic modality on a full-spectrum basis: ranging from the somatic resolution of central childhood wounds to the everyday self-regulation of symptomatic stress responses such as anxiety and addiction. 2) Closer towards baseline integral consciousness (Wilber). Through their combined efforts of rigorous self-inquiry and critical engagement with recommended reading material, the student will have significantly developed their intellectual and spiritual maturity to a noticeable degree, in likely correlation with their depth of engagement. 3) Holistically Empowered. The student will enjoy a meaningful expansion of their physical, emotional, sexual, and creative expression as a result of their healing and expansion work. In short, they will be healthier, happier and feel more complete. 4) Self-educational. The student will have felt organically inspired to move beyond free video content and create a self-structured learning arc which takes maximum advantage of at least several dozen inner working books mentioned within the course. The student will consequently enjoy lifelong learning habits including: critical research skills, long-term focus, and the ability to know when to stop studying. *MY TEACHING INTENTIONS & STATEMENT OF DIRECTION* 1) Provide the student with an informed and representative overview of multiple complementary therapeutic modalities to support their self-healing process; with special encouragement placed upon the auto-therapeutic application of holistic healing modalities for particular problems at particular stages in their journey. 2) Nourish the intellectual and spiritual maturation of the student by familiarising them with the most exciting, challenging and credible concepts in developmental psychology, consciousness studies and transpersonal metaphysics; with central emphasis being placed upon comparative analysis of multiple complex theories. 3) Encourage an empowered and more authentic sense of individual self-expression as a combined outcome of the two previous intentions, plus the application of holistic lifestyle principles, self-educational practises, and foundational healthy habits.
I honestly needed to hear this today, thank you so much. I have been teaching my mom & others the things that I ought to be doing currently, and yes, they aren't fully giving attention to what I have to share and it hurts me. Now seeing your video I understand where I'm going wrong. Blessed be for sharing this video.
Anushree, it’s my pleasure. Such a common pattern of ‘giving’ that we fall into - great to hear that this video struck a chord and reflected the pattern 🌲
This 20 min video offered more insight than ever. Everything you said resonated so profoundly. Your delivery is well received. Thank you for sharing pieces of your journey to help others 🙏 😊 ❤
This is so great by myself.. When I started to feel like I was emotionally helping others and trying to improve their lives and I became so focused on this aspect of life at the same time I found myself losing myself and my feelings, and somehow it seems that My body felt this uncomfortable and I gradually moved away .. Helping other people is a beautiful and humane thing, but as u said by your meaning, this action should be at the right time ..
Wounded healers often try to teach what they need to learn......wow what a true true(in the words of Tom Hanks from cloud Atlas lol). I notice this most strongly right now between me and my mother, I got so caught up when she revealed she had/has unforgiveness toward me I forgot to address my own unforgiveness. I've been saying to her for years that she needs to love and accept me exactly how I truly am, but am I truly doing that for her?? Hmmm. Great thoughts
Always a challenging and sobering series of reflection when we start to peel back the wounded healer patterns - absolutely, Amanda. Great to hear of the progress you've made on this path so far.
Amazingly beautiful...... I definitely find my self at different times in my life inside what you are saying..... Most definitely a video after my heart..... I have gotten much better, but I to find myself sharing, more then I should. I am really happy you made this video. Once again, life changing material. I used to think 🤔 my job was to save humanity. Then I realized it was me, that I needed to save. Now, I see that I and everything is perfect in the way it is, will be, and was..... Have an amazing day.....
Yet again, only someone who has been "there" could possibly express the nuance with such GROUNDED skill; thank you. Unfortunately resonates, and I'm personally sick and tired of these levels and the unbelievable complexities. A part of me wishes to simply go to an ashram where meditation is the tool, and the master the mirror, but then I come across "Zen Hollow Bones", where they are indeed Zen, yet are now learning to integrate the shadow?! No out, only through...argh.
I see these patterns in myself and learning to stay with the tension and stay quiet to allow for integration has been quite challenging. thank you so much for this!!
Loved the video. Been on a spiritual journey with my boyfriend, somehow I'm the guide & he's been very receptive. For years I did what I could to help others in all sorts of situation, but neglected myself. A few years ago, through an extraordinary spiritual experience, I realized I had to work on me & I'm not sure why, but I was giving an assignment to guide my boyfriend. I'm realizing that as I work to help & guide him, much of it I'm applying to myself so in turn having this responsibility to guide him, is actually helping me. Now I finally see why I was given him as a spiritual assignment. Got long ways to go, but I'm blessed to be doing this work & have him by my side.
Great to hear this shared journey, although also worth looking out for elements of Wounded Healer patterns in the potential ‘rescue dynamic’ with your partner. Always more powerful to be the embodied example and emanate from that place - but I totally understand what your saying and wish you both the best, Tati. 🌲
Ouch. The intro sounds like the life patterns I've mostly escaped. Like emerging from drowning and gasping in air for the first time. It's interesting how much this concept mirrors codependency. From all the reflection ive done, i think there are a myriad of words for very few true concepts we are all dealing with. I also keep skipping around the stages so mostly over to stage 5 except when i go back to playing hide and go seek with myself again. My rebellious nature cant help herself. Love your work so much, thanks for sharing your wisdom. Super wonderful knowledge and also love your wit, a sense of humor is so needed in this world. I also journal all the time as needed and its been one my best teachers as well as healing, reading, and learning in hermit mode. I also have gotten to the stage of I don't know everything.. .its so fucking liberating. Great work 👏 👌
Jordan, your videos are simply awesome! So much knowledge, imbibed, digested, assimilated.....& then beamed out with genuine compassion into an agonized, traumatized world in despair, finding the right targets wherever they exist; even as far as here in Goa, India! Having been on my own journey towards recovery from a chronically traumatized past that spanned most of my 59 years on this planet, resulting in around 18 years of serious addictions that caused life threatening diseases that nearly took me to the grave, I have been learning about physical & mental health from various sources/gurus, & repeatedly listening to the wisdom you've gathered from a whole lot of sources, tried & tested it for yourself with amazing, obvious results, that make your teachings all the more convincing. I have also shared your videos with others who would appreciate the value of these jewels & gain from them. Your knowledge & experience has had a tremendous impact on people like me who would rather be free than bogged down in the agonizing trauma of the past embedded in the cells, literally; chronic trauma interspersed with acute trauma that can at best condemn one to a life of darkness, depression, addiction & all the other horrendous consequences of having these shadows lurking in the dark dungeons of the mind, & at worst, result in ending one's life here.....perhaps only to end up wallowing in agony elsewhere!! Thank you, & may you have a long, great life ahead, helping others heal themselves, even as you progress along your own super interesting healing journey! Yours is indeed such an amazing & inspiring journey from darkness into the Light! May you be blessed abundantly for being such a blessing to others like myself! 🙏
Benjamin, thank you - this is an extremely warm message and very warmly received. I appreciate your words & likewise wish you the best with your journey ahead 🌲
Thank you universe right things always comes to me at right time❤ thank you sir for this information i jist got to knw that i am a wounded healer in last week..but i am a light work ty for this piece of knowledge🙏🦋
This is a beautiful sharing! Thank you.. I do relate.. First thing that hit me was ‘impulsive giving’. I got that going on for years before I stop and ask myself why putting so much effort and resources in supporting even while not being well!! I found that I welcomed giving for so long but not allowing enough recieving! And was intuduced to my issues with self worth and self love.. I will be sharing the video and watching it again🙏🏼❤️
Here to help, and absolutely know what you mean about impulsive giving. I’ve got a video on overgiving coming out in a few weeks also - watch out for it!
Wow. First, thank you for sharing. Second, I don’t think I’ve ever energetically connected this way to a person over a social media platform, such as this. My attention span can be easily intercepted by the chaos in my head, but you captivated me all the way through. That’s never happened to me before. I sensed you all the way through the video. I don’t know how to properly articulate what just happened to me, but it was profound. I’m laughing as I type this because I’m in awe right now. It’s making me short-circuit. I’m totally nuts, but I absolutely love your energy. You come across really well, if that makes sense. You have the perfect delivery on all levels. Physically, spiritually, and energetically. You’re going to have a massive impact on many people, as I’m certain you already do. There is definitely something very special about you. I tapped into it. I can feel it the pit of my stomach. I can almost see it.. like a golden stream of light. Thank you again. I’m so happy I came across you. Now I must go and enter a binge-cave, as I need to consume every bit of your content.
Welcome, and happy to connect. I appreciate your comment here & look forward to you diving into the newer and even harder hitting videos! Wishing you the genuine best on your next steps forwards, thank you until I next hear from you 🌲
love the calm delivery of absolute facts no shame or judgement THIS VIDEO HAS COME TO ME AT THE PERFECT MOMENT.Thankyou.uncomfortable and great analysis im trying to move from wounded healer at the moment just starting to understand christ consciousness and finally giving myself over to the objective perfect good selfless and universal including myself in that aswell .
Mostly wounded people walking around don’t know that they are so wounded that they find themselves trying to help others in order to avoid dealing with their own wounds. It’s unconscious behavior on their part..! I tried to help many of the people I dated in the past., I felt it was my duty to be their rescuer., for some reason I thought as a fellow human being I owed them to show up., I owed them to be there for their needs to a point where I was doing everything for them and enabling them from growing and learning from their choices. But I didn’t see that when I was doing the rescuing., you see we become blindsided by these individuals who are very good manipulators. Nowadays when I meet someone who is showing abusive tendencies and they don’t treat me well I don’t stay. Walking away and not looking back. It’s good to note that the wounded healers often take lots of abuse from others., because they put others first as opposed to put themselves first.
Thanks again for sharing some great insights. So much to reflect on and integrate. I love so much of what you are sharing, and after watching a number of your videos, this episode also resonates. I am extremely grateful for all the work you have invested in curating these amazing resources and for your commentaries, and I truly admire the disciplined academic rigor of your approach. I am in awe of your intellect and your ability to communicate and synthesize the big thoughts of these great authors and teachers you are showcasing...... I also wanted to share that I sensed in your earlier videos a more heart-centred approach and a greater degree of humility, and I hope to see you circle back to that place where your real power is - as I see in you the making of a great teacher whose tremendous intellect is in service to an even greater heart. With love, and respect.
I think I now finally have a label for how I’ve been in the past, the wounded healer. This one is more descriptive than the one I’ve been given by a counselor with whom I’ve done work over many years. She’d call it my arrogance, so that’s the only word I had to describe what it is I had done and much less occasionally still do, but more internal about it, rather than dumping my verbiage on those who weren’t really interested, or asked for it. This has been quite helpful. Thank you.
Richard, you’re right - and I’m glad that this clarification serves your healing. Arrogance may be an element of the complex, but it’s certainly far more than that. I’m sorry to hear that this pattern has been obscured somewhat for so long in your counselling 🌲
@@jordanthornton Thank you for your reply, Jordan. It would be interesting to actual talk with you, but I’m sure I cannot not afford you. I’ll continue listening to your videos and incorporate it into my shadow work.
Truly felt this with my heart - paused a few times as it brought to surface some strong emotions. Question 6: Am I seeing the gifts & talents of others but not the talents of myself calls for some deep reflection for me. There are certain things I admire and appreciate in others such as ease in expressing thoughts and feelings but I find it hard for myself - I used to feel very insecure about it. I am learning to accept my limitations and still try to work toward what I want with patience and compassion for myself, and finding other ways to express myself like art and just by being.
Aha! Yes, this does make a lot of sense. :) I'd like to add a variation, (as perhaps the entire healing aspect might be a talent I have been shoving under the rug and I might not be the only one),.. The wounded healer that never wanted to be (or even recognized him-/herself as such) a healer/teacher/helper/whatever. Pretty sure I often end up helping others to a point of total self-neglect, not because I want to save anyone, but mostly because when I get asked to help out, (saying yes to pretty much everything, even if I'm not sure how to manage it) I feel like, in a small way, at least I get to validate my useless existence. (Apologies for the depressing way of wording that, but it is what it is.) So in a very abbreviated response to the triggering(?) questions, (as I of course still want to help out through engagement and getting others to engage...Yes, I suppose this video makes a lot of sense indeed...); Not going to discuss the first one here, no, yep, probably, for sure (but through my own fault), only with myself, nope, nope, just started to get over my fear of working with elementary school children yesterday and the day before, and absolutely. (Guess I've got some stuff ahead of me.) Thanks for the clarifying video! :)
I am going through this right now. After 3 years of sobriety I thought I was healed and fell again, I notice I avoid myself and addictions is only going to slow mee down, thank you!
Dena, you're doing great. Awareness and consistency over time really is key - we've got many decades to work through our processes and do what we can to show up and serve those around us. Keep going!
I've had some seriously troubling issues lately and again, this was right on time. Thank you. I see me in this video and the one prior. You've given me a lot of new things to journal and work with now. I'll need to read this book and Facing the Dragon. Thank you.
There’s a lesson in when you treat someone like gold and they in turn treat you like you’re being tolerated. Do the work and heal yourself because you deserve much better than that.
I get healing ideas that are inspiring and uplifting while I connect with pain and stumble upon such possibilities, and even write about it --yeah but suck at committing to it. :)
I am really grateful to find your channel. Thank you for putting yourself out here and for sharing that inner knowledge. Your videos make me shift perception/integrating...
Will you be posting a video explaining each questions you mentioned? This was amazing and make so much sense! I was happy to see and feel where I am in my journet atm - thanks!
Hey Laura, won’t be posting a video on these kinds of single-issue topics until this series is complete! Video style will change in September with two new series (one will be Q&A, so these kinds of issues, yes!) Highly recommend buying the book and seeing all 20!
We’re all helping each other out, glad that the concepts resonated - highly recommend the Born to Serve book featured in this video. It’s a goldmine that goes way deeper than I have! Thank you 🔋✌🏻
So blessed the universe sent me your channel 🙏 🕉❤️🔥and so grateful for your courage that it taken you to make a path for others into deep healing and meeting with oneself ☺️🌸✨🍀🧚♀️🌈🪶💖
Thank you for all you share . I would like to have therapeutic mentorship with you if possible . I feel a resonance with your teachings and appreciate your approach . much gratitude to you .
Hey Jules - shoot me a message on Instagram introducing yourself and we can get the conversation started. Happy to share more & answer all questions over there! 🌲
God, this is triggering. It feels dreadful. Ugh, I do not want to choose this archetype any more. Thanks for unearthing this...and the questions at the end!!!
@@jordanthornton I am so grateful to be exposed to these truths, via you! You are a blessing. You are welcome, thank you for working your work helping me work my work - so valuable in ALL ways. 💓
🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑 Besides your awesome voice, you have an awesome sense of humor. It certainly helps the medicine go down, lol. Thanks for the message. Smile and nod!
Beautiful video! Loved these questions. What triggered me was that I often feel that others have talents and I don’t. However I have been healing the sense of worth for as long as I remember with some progress. Perhaps we never truly heal 100% and at some point we just have to learn to accept and to live with our limitations? I’m INFP personality and figured that I have wounded healer/seeker/Artist Archetype. Can we have all 3 archetypes or there is one predominant one that we embody?
Kate, thanks for the question. Most people tend to have about half a dozen to a dozen core archetypes which they cycle through depending on the seasons and circumstances of life - so it’s very hard to give a definitive map of an internal landscape without knowing you more directly. Seems like you’ve got some solid clarity already though - perhaps major gains to be made from working consciously with your under developed or shadow archetypal energies??
At the start of the video you had said that unhealed healers are trying to teach what they need to learn but at the end there is a reference towards self acceptance of limitations (unrealistic expectations of information processing and presentation). Aren't these 2 ideas a bit contradictory? I feel like I'm not ready to express with this "healer"/"teacher" identity but I am ready to serve and then I wonder is there ever, such a place as fully "ready" or "healed".
Nice & disruptive! For years i thought service was an act of generosity. But maybe 10 years ago i began to wondrr: Am i doing this to get attention? Which repulses me. Psychic quicksand: i don't know why i do anything
There are flip sides to a wounded healer: 1. The wounded healer whom is self-aware and transparent about their own woundedness, but has many traits and wisdoms to share. 2. The wounded healer that is functioning from the shadow and wants people to see them as having their 'shit together', but really doesn't. 1. is good 2. is not so good. That's my understanding, anyways.
Perhaps it might be - although there are distinctions to be made between the two! Wounded Healers tend to have a little more grandiosity, unless they are also deeply shame-based!
after 13 minutes I am asking myself... you REALLY need to go through some fancy named stages to realize that??? read about Jungian shadow? seriously...it is just a common experience...do your own work, not everybody will understand or care about your experience...I guess I am just not the right type of audience...
@@jordanthornton yeah I am much more down to the business practical (but also not spiritual) person. I tried to get into this Jungian stuff many times but I always get disappointed...I did watch your books recommendations tho and will be buying some of them as much as my budget allows...:)

*1-1 Mentorship Information: Price & Structure (Maximum Capacity = 20 Clients Per Year)*
It's an absolute pleasure to film these TH-cam videos, and I feel fortunate to receive an abundance of meaningful messages every week, but I am unfortunately faced with the disappointing reality of turning away the vast majority of people who want to work together.
I have significantly limited availability and can only support twenty people per year because I do not offer one-off calls or drop-in consulting sessions.
Twenty individuals might not sound like maximum capacity, but the last few years of teaching have taught me the importance of maintaining tight energetic boundaries if I want to keep uploading these free videos in addition to serving my current clients to the best of my ability in 2024.
To minimise confusion and enhance transparency, I've spent several hours writing this ridiculously long comment to help you decide if my Inner Work Mentorship is the right choice for your development & what you could reasonably expect from working closely together.
Please take the time to read this service description before contacting me on Instagram… or feel free to stop reading right now if you’re not interested in my fees, session structure, client expectations, etc.
...
*READ BEFORE SCROLLING FURTHER:*
I'm interested in long-term change and structural transformation, which is why I've never offered one-off sessions.
Complex issues cannot be resolved in a few hours, but we likewise need to define an upper limit for containment and collaboration.
I've learned that deep and enduring self-integration requires at least four months of immersive effort. Why four months? It's enough weekly contact for us to work through multiple complex issues and developmental possibilities, but short enough to mitigate against unconscious co-dependency and motivational stagnation.
I'm currently accepting a maximum of two new clients per month - message me after reading the following section to check my availability.
...
*HOW I WORK & WHO I WORK WITH*
Unlike other coaches and teachers who take an understandably more relaxed approach to healing and integration, my mentorships are characteristically intense.
This is a highly-demanding, high-investment process which requires our consistent combined effort over a period of four months.
If we were to start working together, I would reasonably expect you to be excited to show up for a minimum of 10+ hours of self-motivated transformative practice per week (daily reading, fitness routine, creative exercises, spiritual reflection, etc.) while also maintaining full-sobriety (no drink, no drugs, no cigarettes, no vapes).
These strict standards of discipline and sobriety are plainly unsuitable for most people in most situations - even genuinely motivated individuals who resonate with my TH-cam videos may not be the right match for four months of structured mentorship.
If you want to get deeper, I've noticed that there's a certain type of ‘temperament' & 'timing’ to get the most out of me.
I'm interested in alert, creative and purpose-driven individuals who aspire to exceptional standards of self-maturation and would enjoy the feeling of going through week-on-week of progressively stacked transformative experiences for a third of a year: my ideal client is somebody who is willing to bring forward their internal complexity with a sense of courage and transparency with the intention of nothing less than full-spectrum transformation & rapid acceleration on their personal path.
I am yet to discover another supportive figure who offers something comparable to this mentorship: a four-month, structured yet flexible 1-1 container which is simultaneously therapeutic, academic and action-oriented; with primary focus placed on tangible improvements in your felt sense of self-knowledge and self-integration; in addition to making consistent and meaningful progress towards your unique goals and mentorship aspirations.
I prioritise contact, compassion and accountability, which means that your work never really 'ends' at the end of your session. You can reasonably expect to be fed dozens of customised reading suggestions and follow-on perspectives outside of the formal sessions via friendly and informal messenger contact, where I am active and available four days per week to cultivate an intimate personal connection while likewise enhancing your positive momentum via accountability check-ins and additional support as required.
By way of conclusion for what feels like an extraordinarily long comment and service description, I feel compelled to once more emphasise that working directly with me is unrealistic for most people in most situations.
I often support people who are accustomed to wrestling with the emotional challenges associated with working through complex wounds in previous therapeutic relationships before we begin our coaching work together. Even individuals without 'hard trauma' can expect moments of pressurised darkness and heaviness during periods of shadow contact as you begin to restructure your personal unconscious. We will be exploring your psyche and soma at scale and depth, and it will be your responsibility to keep me informed about the emotional texture of your internal reality, especially if you encounter negatively charged experiences, and I will of course do everything in my power to support you through the hard times as we integrate the darkness and move forwards together.
TH-cam is a wonderful place for me to share free research resources and offer accessible inner work invitations; my private mentorships, however, are the place for collaborative partnership and emotional security as we identify, navigate and restructure oftentimes confronting and challenging conscious and unconscious physical, emotional and mental material.
Ultimately, this is a highly-demanding but highly-rewarding process which requires the best of our shared intentions.
...
*SESSION STRUCTURE & FEES:*
The total fee for an Inner Work Mentorship (including 12 x 2 hr sessions) is £7,400 GBP or approximately $9,400 USD. This is my only coaching programme, and my mentorship pricing is liable to adjustment over time.
Each private session lasts two hours, and is facilitated via Telegram video call at an ideal time for both of us. Your mentorship extends over a linear four-month period, with a total of twenty-four hours of structured session time, in addition to four days per week of unlimited messenger availability for accountability updates, voice note exchanges and informal calls upon occasion. I do not work on Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays, but I am fully-available across all timezones for regular calls and messenger contact on Thursday - Sunday.
If you’ve scrolled this far, and resonate with what I’m offering, I invite you to message me on Instagram. It would be my pleasure to start exploring your goals and intentions in real-time.
IMPORTANT: I am an intentionally independent coach, and not a licensed therapist or associated with any professional bodies or coaching institutions, and therefore enjoy the freedom to collaborate with my clients across all areas of life in an intimate, direct and highly involved coaching style. I work with no more than twenty people per year, and am currently accepting a maximum of two new clients per month. I also manage my own inbox and do not use automated systems or employ people to pretend to be me on Instagram, which means that it usually takes four to six weeks for me to respond to new messages and begin the interview process. Although my approach takes time, I hope you ultimately appreciate my personal emphasis on authentic and confidential communication from the very beginning of our relationship. I once again encourage you to message me immediately if you want to start working together within the next two months - bump yourself to the top of my inbox, and I’ll send you some voice notes to get our conversation started.
Your channel will blow up soon. I can feel it. Thank you for taking the time to share such pertinent information. Straight-to-the-point, while also being gentle and compassionate. I listen to this often as I have been told by my intuition for very long to get pass this archetype... it gets things done, but at a cost that doesn’t serve the all just the other. I would tell people, if I can’t help myself I guess I will help others. Very unhealthy. Feels unbalanced many times. This video brings clarity to many of the patterns and issues. Again, very appreciated and needed.
@@Amandsmckeown Amanda, it’s my pleasure - thank you, and I’m glad that I resonated & provided some extra reflections.
Wow, that makes sooo much sense! That's just what I needed to hear. I've been reading and learning so much lately, maybe too eager to learn it all to start "helping others" while feeling that I still have so much to do for myself. This idea of feeling that you have to know all the references and everything else as if you were a "walking library" is just so common in the society that was I thinking I would never reach the level of having learned everything I need so that I could start working as a "healer". Still doing a lot of shadow integration here and finally accepting that digesting information take time, so your video has really helped me accept that more peacefully.
You’re right, there is so much freedom when we release that old perfections pattern and allow ourself to not be a ‘walking library’... but instead return the information to its proper place: the bookshelf!
Glad that this video landed, it’s my pleasure to share!
*INNER WORK ESSENTIALS - EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES (what you'll get from these videos)*
On completion of this series, the student should expect to be:
1) Auto-therapeutic. The student will feel generally competent in their ability to select and self-administer the most suitable therapeutic modality on a full-spectrum basis: ranging from the somatic resolution of central childhood wounds to the everyday self-regulation of symptomatic stress responses such as anxiety and addiction.
2) Closer towards baseline integral consciousness (Wilber). Through their combined efforts of rigorous self-inquiry and critical engagement with recommended reading material, the student will have significantly developed their intellectual and spiritual maturity to a noticeable degree, in likely correlation with their depth of engagement.
3) Holistically Empowered. The student will enjoy a meaningful expansion of their physical, emotional, sexual, and creative expression as a result of their healing and expansion work. In short, they will be healthier, happier and feel more complete.
4) Self-educational. The student will have felt organically inspired to move beyond free video content and create a self-structured learning arc which takes maximum advantage of at least several dozen inner working books mentioned within the course. The student will consequently enjoy lifelong learning habits including: critical research skills, long-term focus, and the ability to know when to stop studying.
*MY TEACHING INTENTIONS & STATEMENT OF DIRECTION*
1) Provide the student with an informed and representative overview of multiple complementary therapeutic modalities to support their self-healing process; with special encouragement placed upon the auto-therapeutic application of holistic healing modalities for particular problems at particular stages in their journey.
2) Nourish the intellectual and spiritual maturation of the student by familiarising them with the most exciting, challenging and credible concepts in developmental psychology, consciousness studies and transpersonal metaphysics; with central emphasis being placed upon comparative analysis of multiple complex theories.
3) Encourage an empowered and more authentic sense of individual self-expression as a combined outcome of the two previous intentions, plus the application of holistic lifestyle principles, self-educational practises, and foundational healthy habits.
I asked you about the price of your consultations on Instagram, can you please answer me ?
I honestly needed to hear this today, thank you so much. I have been teaching my mom & others the things that I ought to be doing currently, and yes, they aren't fully giving attention to what I have to share and it hurts me. Now seeing your video I understand where I'm going wrong. Blessed be for sharing this video.
Anushree, it’s my pleasure. Such a common pattern of ‘giving’ that we fall into - great to hear that this video struck a chord and reflected the pattern 🌲
This 20 min video offered more insight than ever. Everything you said resonated so profoundly. Your delivery is well received. Thank you for sharing pieces of your journey to help others 🙏 😊 ❤
What a wonderful and powerful comment to receive, it’s my true pleasure - thank you 🌲
This is so great by myself.. When I started to feel like I was emotionally helping others and trying to improve their lives and I became so focused on this aspect of life at the same time I found myself losing myself and my feelings, and somehow it seems that My body felt this uncomfortable and I gradually moved away .. Helping other people is a beautiful and humane thing, but as u said by your meaning, this action should be at the right time ..
Wounded healers often try to teach what they need to learn......wow what a true true(in the words of Tom Hanks from cloud Atlas lol). I notice this most strongly right now between me and my mother, I got so caught up when she revealed she had/has unforgiveness toward me I forgot to address my own unforgiveness. I've been saying to her for years that she needs to love and accept me exactly how I truly am, but am I truly doing that for her?? Hmmm. Great thoughts
Always a challenging and sobering series of reflection when we start to peel back the wounded healer patterns - absolutely, Amanda. Great to hear of the progress you've made on this path so far.
Amazingly beautiful...... I definitely find my self at different times in my life inside what you are saying..... Most definitely a video after my heart..... I have gotten much better, but I to find myself sharing, more then I should. I am really happy you made this video. Once again, life changing material.
I used to think 🤔 my job was to save humanity. Then I realized it was me, that I needed to save. Now, I see that I and everything is perfect in the way it is, will be, and was.....
Have an amazing day.....
“And then I realised it was me all along” - this revelation is HUGE! A major turning point for anyone on the path, glad to hear it Joel 🌲
Yet again, only someone who has been "there" could possibly express the nuance with such GROUNDED skill; thank you. Unfortunately resonates, and I'm personally sick and tired of these levels and the unbelievable complexities. A part of me wishes to simply go to an ashram where meditation is the tool, and the master the mirror, but then I come across "Zen Hollow Bones", where they are indeed Zen, yet are now learning to integrate the shadow?! No out, only through...argh.
Not out, only through - can be no other way, Eric. You got this 🌲
I see these patterns in myself and learning to stay with the tension and stay quiet to allow for integration has been quite challenging. thank you so much for this!!
Thanks for sharing - keep going with your integration work, it's truly worthwhile.
Dude your videos are unbelievably spot on and uncannily on time
Always here when needed, it seems!
Loved the video. Been on a spiritual journey with my boyfriend, somehow I'm the guide & he's been very receptive. For years I did what I could to help others in all sorts of situation, but neglected myself. A few years ago, through an extraordinary spiritual experience, I realized I had to work on me & I'm not sure why, but I was giving an assignment to guide my boyfriend. I'm realizing that as I work to help & guide him, much of it I'm applying to myself so in turn having this responsibility to guide him, is actually helping me. Now I finally see why I was given him as a spiritual assignment. Got long ways to go, but I'm blessed to be doing this work & have him by my side.
Great to hear this shared journey, although also worth looking out for elements of Wounded Healer patterns in the potential ‘rescue dynamic’ with your partner. Always more powerful to be the embodied example and emanate from that place - but I totally understand what your saying and wish you both the best, Tati. 🌲
Ouch. The intro sounds like the life patterns I've mostly escaped. Like emerging from drowning and gasping in air for the first time. It's interesting how much this concept mirrors codependency. From all the reflection ive done, i think there are a myriad of words for very few true concepts we are all dealing with.
I also keep skipping around the stages so mostly over to stage 5 except when i go back to playing hide and go seek with myself again. My rebellious nature cant help herself. Love your work so much, thanks for sharing your wisdom. Super wonderful knowledge and also love your wit, a sense of humor is so needed in this world. I also journal all the time as needed and its been one my best teachers as well as healing, reading, and learning in hermit mode. I also have gotten to the stage of I don't know everything.. .its so fucking liberating.
Great work 👏 👌
I appreciate you taking the time to share this here, thank you for sharing some of your story with me and others - wishing you the best.
This was a major eye-opener. Thanks!
All about the iris-expansions, thank you for watching and absorbing & letting me known🌲
I deeply needed this video and likely this whole channel. I am grateful for the find!!! I hope and pray I have the resolve to follow this path/heal.
Great time to find me - there's a new shadow work series out which is particularly hard hitting and impactful. Hope it helps.
Thank you, from a 'damaged' individuation ❤
Jordan, your videos are simply awesome! So much knowledge, imbibed, digested, assimilated.....& then beamed out with genuine compassion into an agonized, traumatized world in despair, finding the right targets wherever they exist; even as far as here in Goa, India!
Having been on my own journey towards recovery from a chronically traumatized past that spanned most of my 59 years on this planet, resulting in around 18 years of serious addictions that caused life threatening diseases that nearly took me to the grave, I have been learning about physical & mental health from various sources/gurus, & repeatedly listening to the wisdom you've gathered from a whole lot of sources, tried & tested it for yourself with amazing, obvious results, that make your teachings all the more convincing. I have also shared your videos with others who would appreciate the value of these jewels & gain from them.
Your knowledge & experience has had a tremendous impact on people like me who would rather be free than bogged down in the agonizing trauma of the past embedded in the cells, literally; chronic trauma interspersed with acute trauma that can at best condemn one to a life of darkness, depression, addiction & all the other horrendous consequences of having these shadows lurking in the dark dungeons of the mind, & at worst, result in ending one's life here.....perhaps only to end up wallowing in agony elsewhere!!
Thank you, & may you have a long, great life ahead, helping others heal themselves, even as you progress along your own super interesting healing journey! Yours is indeed such an amazing & inspiring journey from darkness into the Light! May you be blessed abundantly for being such a blessing to others like myself! 🙏
Benjamin, thank you - this is an extremely warm message and very warmly received. I appreciate your words & likewise wish you the best with your journey ahead 🌲
Thank u 🙏 for sharing .. I came across ur community page & just started to do the shadow wrk , ur knowledge is so helpful … appreciate you.. thank u
Elizabeth, it’s my pleasure - thank you and I hope these videos serve you wonderfully!
This channel is pure gold! Thankyou for sharing and inspiring!
Glad you enjoy it - it's been a pleasure to create this series.
Love you brother! Thank you for your care
Thank you universe right things always comes to me at right time❤ thank you sir for this information i jist got to knw that i am a wounded healer in last week..but i am a light work ty for this piece of knowledge🙏🦋
Be well in your next steps on the path 🌲
You definitely brought to light some eye opening things for me. Thank you
Happy to have helped, wishing you well for the week ahead.
This is a beautiful sharing! Thank you..
I do relate..
First thing that hit me was ‘impulsive giving’. I got that going on for years before I stop and ask myself why putting so much effort and resources in supporting even while not being well!!
I found that I welcomed giving for so long but not allowing enough recieving! And was intuduced to my issues with self worth and self love..
I will be sharing the video and watching it again🙏🏼❤️
Here to help, and absolutely know what you mean about impulsive giving. I’ve got a video on overgiving coming out in a few weeks also - watch out for it!
Thank you for the post. Reminded me to be more patient!
Absolutely - there's only so much we can do in a certain number of years. Cheers, Lee.
Wow. First, thank you for sharing. Second, I don’t think I’ve ever energetically connected this way to a person over a social media platform, such as this. My attention span can be easily intercepted by the chaos in my head, but you captivated me all the way through. That’s never happened to me before. I sensed you all the way through the video. I don’t know how to properly articulate what just happened to me, but it was profound. I’m laughing as I type this because I’m in awe right now. It’s making me short-circuit. I’m totally nuts, but I absolutely love your energy. You come across really well, if that makes sense. You have the perfect delivery on all levels. Physically, spiritually, and energetically. You’re going to have a massive impact on many people, as I’m certain you already do. There is definitely something very special about you. I tapped into it. I can feel it the pit of my stomach. I can almost see it.. like a golden stream of light. Thank you again. I’m so happy I came across you. Now I must go and enter a binge-cave, as I need to consume every bit of your content.
Welcome, and happy to connect. I appreciate your comment here & look forward to you diving into the newer and even harder hitting videos! Wishing you the genuine best on your next steps forwards, thank you until I next hear from you 🌲
love the calm delivery of absolute facts no shame or judgement THIS VIDEO HAS COME TO ME AT THE PERFECT MOMENT.Thankyou.uncomfortable and great analysis im trying to move from wounded healer at the moment just starting to understand christ consciousness and finally giving myself over to the objective perfect good selfless and universal including myself in that aswell .
Sounds like you’re on the right path! Make sure to pick up some of the books recommended on this channel - they will seriously help 🌲
Mostly wounded people walking around don’t know that they are so wounded that they find themselves trying to help others in order to avoid dealing with their own wounds. It’s unconscious behavior on their part..! I tried to help many of the people I dated in the past., I felt it was my duty to be their rescuer., for some reason I thought as a fellow human being I owed them to show up., I owed them to be there for their needs to a point where I was doing everything for them and enabling them from growing and learning from their choices. But I didn’t see that when I was doing the rescuing., you see we become blindsided by these individuals who are very good manipulators. Nowadays when I meet someone who is showing abusive tendencies and they don’t treat me well I don’t stay. Walking away and not looking back. It’s good to note that the wounded healers often take lots of abuse from others., because they put others first as opposed to put themselves first.
Wow, ive been hyper vigilant and sensitive to others needs all my life, overgiving even if it wasnt asked.
This hit the right place 😢
Thankyou jordan
Happy to have opened a connection for you, keep going deeper - good luck! 🌲
Thanks again for sharing some great insights. So much to reflect on and integrate. I love so much of what you are sharing, and after watching a number of your videos, this episode also resonates. I am extremely grateful for all the work you have invested in curating these amazing resources and for your commentaries, and I truly admire the disciplined academic rigor of your approach. I am in awe of your intellect and your ability to communicate and synthesize the big thoughts of these great authors and teachers you are showcasing...... I also wanted to share that I sensed in your earlier videos a more heart-centred approach and a greater degree of humility, and I hope to see you circle back to that place where your real power is - as I see in you the making of a great teacher whose tremendous intellect is in service to an even greater heart. With love, and respect.
Steve, thank you - this comment means a lot to me, and I’m glad to do whatever I can to help 🌲
Wow. This really opened up my eyes to a few things. Great questions. I’ll be buying this book for sure. Thank you for your time.
Ceejay, it's truly a wounderful book to explore - far more than I could cover in one video alone! All the best.
I think I now finally have a label for how I’ve been in the past, the wounded healer. This one is more descriptive than the one I’ve been given by a counselor with whom I’ve done work over many years. She’d call it my arrogance, so that’s the only word I had to describe what it is I had done and much less occasionally still do, but more internal about it, rather than dumping my verbiage on those who weren’t really interested, or asked for it.
This has been quite helpful. Thank you.
Richard, you’re right - and I’m glad that this clarification serves your healing. Arrogance may be an element of the complex, but it’s certainly far more than that. I’m sorry to hear that this pattern has been obscured somewhat for so long in your counselling 🌲
@@jordanthornton Thank you for your reply, Jordan. It would be interesting to actual talk with you, but I’m sure I cannot not afford you. I’ll continue listening to your videos and incorporate it into my shadow work.
Thank you for your videos they have been really helpful 👍🖤
You are so welcome, Laresia!
I'm so grateful for your videos ❤️
Thank you 🌞🌲
I started my spiritual journey just over 4 months ago and it’s been humorous but I think it’s worth it.
Keep going 🌲
Truly felt this with my heart - paused a few times as it brought to surface some strong emotions. Question 6: Am I seeing the gifts & talents of others but not the talents of myself calls for some deep reflection for me. There are certain things I admire and appreciate in others such as ease in expressing thoughts and feelings but I find it hard for myself - I used to feel very insecure about it. I am learning to accept my limitations and still try to work toward what I want with patience and compassion for myself, and finding other ways to express myself like art and just by being.
Appreciate your genuine engagement with this video - its a hugely important topic, right?
Thanks so much, I really need this. Your pace explaining this makes it easy to grasp ❤
Aha! Yes, this does make a lot of sense. :)
I'd like to add a variation, (as perhaps the entire healing aspect might be a talent I have been shoving under the rug and I might not be the only one),.. The wounded healer that never wanted to be (or even recognized him-/herself as such) a healer/teacher/helper/whatever.
Pretty sure I often end up helping others to a point of total self-neglect, not because I want to save anyone, but mostly because when I get asked to help out, (saying yes to pretty much everything, even if I'm not sure how to manage it) I feel like, in a small way, at least I get to validate my useless existence. (Apologies for the depressing way of wording that, but it is what it is.)
So in a very abbreviated response to the triggering(?) questions, (as I of course still want to help out through engagement and getting others to engage...Yes, I suppose this video makes a lot of sense indeed...); Not going to discuss the first one here, no, yep, probably, for sure (but through my own fault), only with myself, nope, nope, just started to get over my fear of working with elementary school children yesterday and the day before, and absolutely. (Guess I've got some stuff ahead of me.)
Thanks for the clarifying video! :)
Deep engagement comment here - thank you again! I see what you’re saying about the reluctant help + validation combo variant too!
I am going through this right now. After 3 years of sobriety I thought I was healed and fell again, I notice I avoid myself and addictions is only going to slow mee down, thank you!
Dena, you're doing great. Awareness and consistency over time really is key - we've got many decades to work through our processes and do what we can to show up and serve those around us. Keep going!
I've had some seriously troubling issues lately and again, this was right on time. Thank you. I see me in this video and the one prior. You've given me a lot of new things to journal and work with now. I'll need to read this book and Facing the Dragon. Thank you.
Always welcome, Jennifer. Facing the dragon is excellent.
There’s a lesson in when you treat someone like gold and they in turn treat you like you’re being tolerated. Do the work and heal yourself because you deserve much better than that.
Wonderful advice ❤
Thanks for being here.
This is bringing back so much of myself thank you man, Truly🙏
Love hearing this, keep going!
I get healing ideas that are inspiring and uplifting while I connect with pain and stumble upon such possibilities, and even write about it --yeah but suck at committing to it. :)
Work on your scheduling - make intentional time for research and writing, it will really help 🌲
@@jordanthornton Yes. Thank You for the response.
I am really grateful to find your channel. Thank you for putting yourself out here and for sharing that inner knowledge. Your videos make me shift perception/integrating...

Will you be posting a video explaining each questions you mentioned? This was amazing and make so much sense! I was happy to see and feel where I am in my journet atm - thanks!
Hey Laura, won’t be posting a video on these kinds of single-issue topics until this series is complete! Video style will change in September with two new series (one will be Q&A, so these kinds of issues, yes!)
Highly recommend buying the book and seeing all 20!

Decades at a minimum, hahaha - Patience and persistence is the key 🌲
Wow thank you
You're welcome!
Wow this makes so much sense
Hard hitting episode, for sure - glad to resonate!

Appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Beautiful video! Loved these questions. What triggered me was that I often feel that others have talents and I don’t. However I have been healing the sense of worth for as long as I remember with some progress. Perhaps we never truly heal 100% and at some point we just have to learn to accept and to live with our limitations? I’m INFP personality and figured that I have wounded healer/seeker/Artist Archetype. Can we have all 3 archetypes or there is one predominant one that we embody?
Kate, thanks for the question. Most people tend to have about half a dozen to a dozen core archetypes which they cycle through depending on the seasons and circumstances of life - so it’s very hard to give a definitive map of an internal landscape without knowing you more directly. Seems like you’ve got some solid clarity already though - perhaps major gains to be made from working consciously with your under developed or shadow archetypal energies??
At the start of the video you had said that unhealed healers are trying to teach what they need to learn but at the end there is a reference towards self acceptance of limitations (unrealistic expectations of information processing and presentation). Aren't these 2 ideas a bit contradictory? I feel like I'm not ready to express with this "healer"/"teacher" identity but I am ready to serve and then I wonder is there ever, such a place as fully "ready" or "healed".
Nice & disruptive! For years i thought service was an act of generosity. But maybe 10 years ago i began to wondrr: Am i doing this to get attention? Which repulses me. Psychic quicksand: i don't know why i do anything
Carlo, it’s a hard question to sit with - I’ve been there. Glad this helped.
Yes. Yes. All of it.
Appreciate you watching & taking the time to comment! 🌲
There are flip sides to a wounded healer:
1. The wounded healer whom is self-aware and transparent about their own woundedness, but has many traits and wisdoms to share.
2. The wounded healer that is functioning from the shadow and wants people to see them as having their 'shit together', but really doesn't.
1. is good
2. is not so good.
That's my understanding, anyways.
Nice summary here, thanks for taking the time to share!
I really wish this book wasn't out of print
Me too - the author contacted me the other day and they seem to be working on it!
3:30 sounds like Teal Swan.
Then again, she has made a massive impact and net positive contribution - work ethic is real!
I wonder if this is somewhat similar to what we call codependence? 🤔 (asking for a friend.. ;)
Perhaps it might be - although there are distinctions to be made between the two! Wounded Healers tend to have a little more grandiosity, unless they are also deeply shame-based!
Dear Jordan, how could I get in touch with you for a 1:1 mentorship? Thank you kindly, S.
Currently haven’t got availability, but Instagram is the place!
💘
Thank you
after 13 minutes I am asking myself... you REALLY need to go through some fancy named stages to realize that??? read about Jungian shadow? seriously...it is just a common experience...do your own work, not everybody will understand or care about your experience...I guess I am just not the right type of audience...
Whatever works for you, wishing you well🌲
@@jordanthornton yeah I am much more down to the business practical (but also not spiritual) person. I tried to get into this Jungian stuff many times but I always get disappointed...I did watch your books recommendations tho and will be buying some of them as much as my budget allows...:)
