Unbridled Self Journey

This program is for individuals Who seek deep meaning and purpose in their lives and feel called to explore their authentic path. Who may have been in counseling or therapy before and feel they want more wisdom and confidence about their next steps. Who are at a crossroads and unsure about which way to turn - who feel stuck and uncertain. Who are in a personal or professional transition, looking to go deeper, and wanting a guide and support on their journey of self-discovery. Who want a brief, intensive intervention to jumpstart some area of their lives.

Unbridled Self Journey can certainly be therapeutic but is not therapy in the traditional sense. As a personal growth and discovery program, it is time-limited and forward-focused: Connecting to your inner wisdom and finding your voice Learning to listen to your callings that guide you toward your personal and professional goals Enhancing strengths and removing obstacles Building wisdom, courage, and clarity Improving relationships with self and others Overall thriving Click here for information about our counseling and psychotherapy services.

Amanda Graham has created Unbridled Self Journey as a path of personal discovery and clarity, identifying and following a deep call to action. She supports you with a calm presence and deep listening as you move through the eight milestones to connect with courage, uncover wisdom, cultivate confidence, and discover your gifts. Through this journey, you can learn that struggle, pain, and uncertainty - far from being problems to be solved - are gateways to discovering your greatest gifts - gifts that only you can bring to the world. Inspired by Joseph Campbell's work, Unbridled Self Journey goes deep - beneath psychological constructs to access ancient shared myths, archetypes, and stories - timeless representations of the human experience that are described in Campbell’s seminal work, The Hero’s Journey. As a world-renowned anthropologist, philosopher, and researcher in the 1940s, Campbell reviewed thousands of years of stories—written, spoken, and shared—across every culture to decipher and distill this universal theme of transformation, which he coined The Hero’s Journey. This timeless story of facing adversity as a means of transformation and discovery inspires Unbridled Self Journey.

While the milestones of the Journey appear to be linear, they can be explored and experienced in multiple ways, depending on the individual, where they are in their process, and many other factors. What is known is that the process of transformational change will go through similar steps at some point, creating circumstances that could not be imagined at the beginning of the journey. The Calling - a deep internal sense of curiosity or direction toward something out of your ordinary life. Also can be an external event that causes a reassessment of life and a pull toward something. Finding Guides - After crossing the threshold and starting the journey, people and circumstances show up to provide mentoring and support. Connecting with Courage - Challenges and obstacles arise, with a choice to find inner strength and perseverance. Uncovering Wisdom - By facing your biggest fears you discover your deepest wisdom. This is the most challenging time of the journey and invites recommitment and determination. Trusting Wisdom - Once through the valley of the journey, getting to know your wisdom and accepting it as your own. Cultivating Confidence - With new found wisdom comes resilience and growing confidence in your abilities. Embracing Clarity - Through the efforts of your early steps, your decisions, and unique gifts become clearer. Returning to the World - Once discovered, your gifts, decisions and wisdom are intended to be shared with the world, your community, as your contribution.
