Professional statement

Gavin is a therapist working in person in Hudson and Rhinebeck and also seeing clients online. He uses mindful somatic experiential approaches including Hakomi and especially a method called Recreation of the Self (RCS) created by Jon Eisman. RCS is about awakening and liberation. You have an innate, unbroken, whole, Organic Self which holds the blueprint for your life. The wounding you experienced caused pain, overwhelm, and confusion and you fragmented your consciousness into many trance-like wounded states of consciousness to deal with this, separating yourself from your natural organic nature and Self. You then came to identify with these states as actually you, leading to anxiety, depression and other self-limiting and self-defeating beliefs and behaviors.

RCS will help you mindfully and compassionately recognize the trance like nature of the wounded states you often find yourself in, disidentify from these states, and recognize and practice your ability to choose and be embodied in your innate organic Self. This is a process of gently pausing and recognizing rather than analyzing or fixing.

Returning to the Organic Self you will gain greater clarity, presence, creativity, and feel mindful, unforced and Self-authored. This is the You that is free from fear, depression, anxiety, trauma and old adaptations. If this speaks to you feel free to contact Gavin for a consultation of up to thirty minutes, in person or by remote.


Message to clients

I believe a "right fit" is important. So I"m happy to spend thirty minutes meeting with you online or in person to see if working together would feel right for you. If you then want to proceed we can have a first session to give you some experience of working together and you can of course assess again. If you are paying out of pocket and decide not to continue you wouldn't pay for this first session.

There will be plenty of time for you to share about your self and also the work we do will go beyond talk therapy and if the approach is right for you you will soon experience relief from your problems and issues and have a new and positive experience of yourself.
