A hands-on, healing therapeutic approach
You deserve to have a good life. Let’s rediscover the joy you had as a child.
I don’t believe that any human reaction is sick. Psychosis, drug use, depression – all perfectly understandable reactions to extreme circumstances.
Biological psychiatry will tell you otherwise. Your sadness may be classified as “depression”. You rage? “Psychosis”. Your traumas – and believe me, we all have them – “chemical imbalance”.
Who am I to speak out against biological psychiatry?
I have been a therapist for more than 40 years, since I was 17; a healer since birth; and a monk for more than five years.
I have met life, from the brightest white to the darkness of total black.
Read my book, The Glass Onion, to learn more about me.
This is Trollheads Nessi. Malinois. Rescue dog who has found her forever family.
I know what has worked to heal my wounds, soften my traumas and lighten my load. And I can promise you – I have found no pill to cure my ill.
Part of what has made a tremendous difference is working with voice, healing and music.
And dogs! Meet Cooper Frost. He was a purebred Flat-Coated Retriever. We worked together for seven years. He died in 2019.
I don’t believe that just talking about your traumas solves them, so I use my therapy concept, SurroundTherapy, as the foundation. Think “life coaching” with a therapeutic twist. And a lot of healing thrown in. SurroundTherapy is an integration of coaching, mentoring, healing and talk therapy. I am certified in numerous healing modalities.

Happy to say, I have contributed to the book Bullied: How I got by by Lonnee Rey. An Amazon bestseller!
Actions speak louder than words: standing beside someone going through a crisis and lending a hand is superior to receiving advice. I have learnt this hands-on method from the countless young people and adults I have worked with since I started at a young age. One thing I have found is that life goes BETTER WITH MUSIC!

Every child, youth and adult I have worked with in my 22+ years of social work. Too many to mention. They have been the blessing of my life.
Most of all. My forever friend, protector, child, brother, co-warrior. Cooper Frost. Ever faithful. Ever loving. Ever true. Next time we meet, I want to be the Buddha dog.

You have bothered to read this far. I would like to honour your effort by proposing a thought experiment:
What if psychiatry got it all wrong? What if the “cure” – antipsychotic and antidepressant medication – is worse than the disease for many people?
Is it time for a new approach? Take a look at this study, done by biological anthropologists. Read Critical Psychiatry Textbook by Peter C. Gøtzsche. Inform yourself. Then, act.
About tapering psychiatric medication Some people feel pressured to keep taking psychotropic medication. You have the right to take part in decisions about your own treatment. If you are determined to stop, do not stop abruptly or on your own: get advice from qualified, licensed health professionals, and taper slowly with their follow-up. I can support you along the way – always in collaboration with a licensed professional. For a research-based guide, I recommend Anders Sørensen’s book Noget I bør vide … om udtrapning af psykofarmaka (Danish). In English, see his book Crossing Zero: The Art and Science of Coming off – and Staying off – Psychiatric Drugs. Anders Sørensen is a Danish psychologist with a PhD in psychiatry.
