This was originally a post on social media two years ago. What do you do when you have been trying to solve the same problem for a long period of time? Is it simply a matter of coming up with a new approach? What kind of advice do you seek from outside sources? Do you retry what you have already tried by modifying the process somehow? Perhaps the question running through your mind is, “What about taking a masterclass, taking an online course, or listening to an expert speak on the topic?” I know it happens to me from time to time. But, though I believe that voice in my head constantly tells me ..read more

It was a great conversation, and the host touched on several topics left undiscussed in other interviews about my book “This is How it Feels to Heal, a shamanic journey through cancer, recovery, and life challenges.” The post Guest on Cancer-U appeared first on Steve Patterson - Wind and Raven.

The last couple of years have been challenging for everyone, and as we continue living our lives in a seemingly uncertain world, it is easy to get lost. When things are not going right, perhaps something is holding you back though you wish this were not the case. Unfortunately, a lot of the time, we get stuck looking at our problems instead of seeing the solutions. But before we can see a way out, we must be clear about where we stand. Are you okay? Have you considered seriously evaluating your life? Would you like an opportunity to check in with yourself by sitting in on a formal psychologic ..read more

Please join us for this conversation about the revival of out online recovery group, Maintain Recovery. It is a group for people in recovery. The group has met at a few places over the years, but for most of the 2010s, it was the Thursday morning gathering with Larry Walton at The Banyan Tree Center. Later, when Recovery Cafe moved, so too did the meeting. It has been a while since the group met, and now it has moved again—this time online, and Steve Patterson, who co-facilitated the group since 2015, is on duty. Maintain Recovery is an online group for people in recovery. It is primarily ..read more

Welcome, let’s get started, shall we? ​How would you like to make rapid progress in changing your life? A professional life coach can help you realize your goals. Life can sometimes suck. We do everything “by the book.” We make it up as we go, think we have it all together, and then…… How many times are you going to wake up with the same problems? Have you asked yourself, “What have I done to change things to prevent this problem?” Or do you have a quick fix down pat and move on, bypass the real problem? But what is the real problem?

For this reason, we do not offer a “one size fits all” treatment ap ..read more
