*1-1 Mentorship Information: Price & Structure (Maximum Capacity = 20 Clients Per Year)* It's an absolute pleasure to film these KZitem 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 KZitem 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. KZitem 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.

My “manic depressive”, 3 attempted suicides Mother found much relief and liberation in the early 70s with those 2 books and the fact that this inner work stuff was blossoming just like the music of the times. She would have her group therapy friends over, they would put on Beatles music and the Doors “Break on through to the other side”, and fling off their shirts and bras. She taught me to scream and beat something up with a pillow if I was mad. Later, she read A Course in Miracles which taught her about choices and the Human Ego. She totally redeemed herself and died a beautiful soul who left a legacy of authentic Human transformation. I don’t think you can ever figure it all out, but to know that there are others with pain and trauma that try means everything.

I honestly rather hit the gym and get out my aggression , than screaming and beating in a group session ! To me that primitive reaction is not the way up! Dance but be decent and respectful towards others who are sharing the dancing space This is one of the reasons why I don’t appreciate ceremonies using plant medicin, people go amok with their primitive emotions causing havoc and distraction to others sharing their sacred space. But I do understand that individuals have different needs. Those on the narcissistic spectrum enjoy the dramatic shows while those who are more conservative and shy tend to avoid highly stimulating situations such as screaming, beating or dancing naked

"Where do I feel it in my body?" is one of the most profound questions I've ever asked myself. It's the foundational question that kick-started my journey of self-healing from debilitating burnout in 2017 and led me to into the gym, where I started lifting weights and running. Gave me the awareness to know when I need to disrupt my patterns of movement. I found sound healing, breathwork and other quantum healing modalities to move stuck + stagnant energy. Still working on the screaming...but overall, completely life changing awareness. You totally speak my language and I'm grateful for your platform.

However, some participants were triggered by me, and i received their defensive attacks quickly, before leaders could even realize, much less intervene. I understand how slippery sneaky re-enactments can be. One-on-one therapy only for me. Oh! I had not heard about chakra front/ backs before! I always felt some of my chakras were killed (2,3,&5) Is that even a thing

Hello. I'm reading the book "The New Primal Scream" now, and I like how author has formed a full-fledged paradigm of the theoretical approach. But I’m having a hard time finding how to apply this to my own healing of trauma; there is very little practical guidance in the book. How to find exactly the pain that is behind the injury? How to create a healing process for yourself in everyday life? I had previously read Lowen and Levin, and also practiced bioenergetic exercises for a long time. Also, is it possible to work through your birth trauma on your own? Janov written that this could be dangerous and a specialist is needed. I would be glad if you could clarify this issue, struggling to to use thia approach to self-healing practically.

Excellent question, and I know you've been working through this for a while - remember your comments. It seems like you might have reached one of those moments where it could be worth getting outside support - you know your issues, and sometimes this kind of focused facilitation can be the next sensible step. Birth trauma is especially nuanced to focus on, although you might find some theoretical steps in Stanislav Grof (perhaps Healing Our Deepest Wounds)

Dear Jordan, Thank you for this video,.... & all your very awakening videos. I read Primal Screen 15 years ago. Was quite impressed by it. I then researched on it online. Quite a few experts cautioned that Primal Screem can actually be an exercise in prolonging & feeding trauma. That was my experience with PS, as well, the more I did it. So something is missing with PS. What do you say? Much Strength,

Janov's "Primal Healing" is a good book too. Too bad primal therapy got a bad rap from other psychologies. Janov had a new idea about curing neurosis and giving back people their naturalness by going into past pains. Now more healing somatic therapies are seen as helpful as they promote dealing with emotions and feelings and those past hurts instead of just talk therapy. Janov recognized we have 3 physical levels of the brain, the cognitive cortex, the emotional or feeling limbic system, and the primitive lower brainstem where very early trauma can be registered too and held just as the upper systems do with less traumatic pains. It is access to these parts and their fluid integration among the parts over time in therapy that is healing. The revisiting of a past pain and the response to it that we couldn't fully express at the time is finally now let up. It may be agony and crying or a feeling of loneliness from abandonment or neglect, or other pains, but it is all there waiting to be expressed a little at a time. We are triggered less after the feeling and are more likely to not need to defend against something that may have brought up our pains before. We will still have a memory of the pain/event, but it will not carry the charge it once had that put our system into over-drive. We can be calm at last. It takes time to feel the top pains before we getting to the deeper ones. And the patient must feel safety with the therapy environment to let go.

I read Primal Scream at your recomandation, and I got to say he has a lot of good info in it but I felt like Janov was a bit ego self-inflating, which doesn´t bother me if I feel like the author is sincere in his efforts and kind, but this time it did. He mentions, in his book that his psychoterapeutic method had such results, as women breast would grow, after healing has taken place. Now I dont know where you stand on that, but if that is suppose to...but wait, go back...what?! why?! I have so many questions, most of them very unortodox... Who told him so boldly about it?!... Oh, where are all those estheic surgons to hear that?!..I think you see my point... Through how many drafts does a book go before publishing? It is a book, not an unresearched statement (taken by the wind)... I wonder if he realised that such a statment was hurting not only him but the profession, in general,. As if psychology did not already fight the battle for its stand as a science, since its inception! I know, is unkind to judge a person by a mistake, but...there is a lot of thinking going into a book..even in the mid 70´s ... If he "exagerated" the truth...what other results did he exagerate about?! I have been reading and listening to lots of books lately, from your recomandations and got a lot of value from them, I have such respect for Robert A Johnson, you can feel the love he has for people, just reading his words..or Bradshaw. or others...I can´t take Janov seriously. I just can´t...

Appreciate you sharing your perspective, always worth taking the good with the bad - the point of reading many different types of healing books is to acquire the information you personally need. Every human has blind spots and poor choices, and authors are no exception. Alexander Lowen has poor ideas on homosexuality, for example, but I still take immense value from the 90% of the rest of his work - different times, historical works.
