    *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.

    Wow. Very synchronistic! I’ve had this happen to me over the past couple of weeks after nearly 2 years of intensive trauma work all done on my own .Very disorientating, actually felt at times that I was going to have a nervous breakdown. Very bizarre , to the point of hearing voices when I was going to sleep, cracking noises and pops and bangs, some nights didn’t even want to go to sleep for the fear of what strange things I was going to hear. And when I did eventually fall asleep I would wake up at 3 am and couldnt get back to sleep. This actually traumatised me . Didn’t want to tell anyone in case they thought I was going mad. So this video is very reassuring to me. Thank you Jordan .

    another great video Jordan! I did finally read Whitfield’s book that had been languishing in waiting for some time in my library. I have read many of Johnson’s book which I really loved, including inner work, will pull it out again. and I ordered the Stone’s book, I have read a book from them on spiritual couple do not remember the title now, a long time ago…I appreciate you take on grounding and restrictions, as ways to root ourselves further in our present embodied life. The pull of the parts and knowing “who” is showing up is so important. I am struggling to find a balance between inner work and creating a life worth living in the “outer” world, it is not a given.

    I would love insights on how to stay safe in your unconscious mind while you are a creative professional. It's an interesting challenge when you are an actor/performer, writing a screenplay, and/or writing short stories/poetry on a daily basis. I feel as if we as creators are required to access the unconscious mind, sometimes within a moments notice or a particular deadline outside of our control. Any tips on how to keep yourself safe... if accessing your imagination is your chosen profession?

    With some people and the profound teachings they have for the world I keep being amazed with the relative few amount of people watching and appreciating the videos and teachings. You are definitely one of them. Thanks again for the video and book recommendations. Inner Work from Robert Johnson is indeed a very helpful book, planning on reading the other 2 as well. Now it’s time for a Sunday active imagination session.

    Thank you for this video, it has been of great help. I have been working too hard with the horned god archetype in the hope of healing avoidant tendencies caused by inner child wounds. I have noticed myself losing a bit of grounding. Going to ground myself through doing less lofty activities and concentrating on more everyday concerns.

    I've already lost my adult ego identity, lost my Self. Through destabilisation and over focussing. Jordan is right. Don't do what I've done. Too much, too often, too fast. It's hard to get back. I'm finding it almost impossible though I'm taking your tips on board. How about a video for folks like me who've already lost themselves??!!

    Very helpful advice, thanks for bringing me back to Earth. Lately my house has become a home to lots of imaginary friends 😆 all archetypes from my subconscious. I was oscillating between inflation and regression and felt like I was going crazy, no longer knowing what's real or who I am or what's wrong.
    Last night I had a dream where a voice said "Here and now is the way". Now I get the message 😆 and I think it's just fascinating how the subconscious always works to restore the balance.
    I also watched your response to the overly polite request for a CTPSD video 😆 and it was helpful in my new quest for grounding in the real world and focusing on belonging here and in my body. Very useful combo, at the perfect time. Thank you! 🕯️

    Just finished 1st read through Healing The Inner Child. Great book. Most frustrating advice given over and over is "talking to others," likewise, "group therapy." I don't like this, lol!

    • @bluejay5531
      @bluejay5531 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      I agree on both things, great book but the ongoing repetition of “sharing with safe people” is frustrating when such people are extremely rare - safe, on a journey of awareness and depth, etc - and not necessarily to be found in therapy groups, which are often not safe at all!

    The answer on all your questions is Jesus Christ brother. Jesus himself says: I am the way, the truth and the life. No one cometh unto the father but by me.
    If he isn’t the truth you can easily go on with your life without any problems, but if he is it wil chance your life.
    Praying for your salvation 🙏🏻
