I have been developing an interest, both theoretical and experiential, in what I refer to as Presence over the course of the past forty years. In this blog I would like to begin to elucidate some of my clinical, theoretical, and personal findings regarding Presence, and it’s relationship to awareness and growth. I will be speaking to a conceptual framework for understanding this, a means of addressing direct experience, and clinical examples of the role of Presence in psychological stuckness and growth. I am eager to enter into dialogue with any who take an interest in my entries, and hope that such dialogue will further facilitate the development of understanding the nature of Presence and how it informs our selves.
