It's Easy To Forget This...

"I need that" is the most common response I get when I tell people about my work. Because everyone knows they have feelings they hold back —— and talking about them isn't enough. So when I describe the physicality that allows people to access their repressed emotions, almost everyone immediately gets it. This wasn't the case 20 years ago when I started. But now somatic therapy has gone mainstream, and most people understand that to release ourselves from the grip of our emotions we must be willing to experience them. This is why I'm more passionate about my work than ever. But most especially about my live workshops. Because as AI takes us even deeper into the digital world, prioritizing human connection becomes non-negotiable. That's why I keep my social calendar full. And why I emphasis in-person experience and community. Don't get me wrong, I love my AI agent, but it doesn't have a nervous system. It can't feel me. Only other humans can do that. Which is why I think this technological revolution, and the crisis it's creating, is an opportunity to remember what we all know is true: our deepest longing is for connection —— to ourselves, to each other, and to the Divine. ❤️👊🏼 Dave ps. I still have spots open for next live workshop coming up March 27-29 in Austin. This one is just for the men, but if you're a woman curious about my work, please know I'm planning open events and workshops, coming soon... |

Gentlemen, Emotional Mastery for Men starts tomorrow—and something unusual happened. I only have a few guys signed up. I usually get 15-20. (Not sure if it's the economy or my marketing sucks. 🤔) But that means the guys who join now are going to get what is basically 1:1 level attention from me inside a small, intimate group. Normally, my 12-week, small group cohorts are $4,000. For this training, it’s only $997. If you’ve been watching and waiting from the sidelines, telling yourself you’ll...
Hey All, I've been seeing a lot of criticism about “emotional release” and “cathartic experience” therapies. It goes something like this: It's performative. It doesn't work to heal your trauma. Big cathartic experience fools you into thinking you're "healed." It actually makes things worse because it reinforces the pattern. I get it. And it can be true—if the facilitator doesn’t fully understand the true nature of healing. Feeling your feelings is an important first step. If you have a...
Hey all, After a year and a half in Mexico, Diana and I are back in Austin. For those who don't know, we’d been living in Valle de Bravo, a quiet mountain town two hours west of Mexico City. We moved because, two years ago, I was feeling restless and wasn’t sure why or what to do about it. Our lease was expiring, I didn’t want to stay, but I had no desire to look for a new place in Austin. Then one morning, I woke up with an strong impulse. “Let’s move to Mexico,” I announced to Diana. She...
