Transpersonal Psychology is a specialty area within the field of Psychology that places particular emphasis on a person’s spirituality. Spirituality, in this context, involves the recognition of a feeling or sense or belief that there is something greater than myself, something more to being human than sensory experience, and that the greater whole of which we are part is cosmic or divine in nature. Bryan’s training as a Transpersonal Psychologist involved both the study and practices of Western Psychology as well as those of Eastern Religions and Philosophies.
Transpersonal Psychologists believe that one is better equipped to guide a journey if they have partaken in it themselves. To this vein, Bryan has benefitted himself from being in therapy. He is also a long term practitioner of daily meditation and other mindfulness activities.
Bryan is a son, brother, husband, father and friend, He loves watching and playing basketball, although the playing part is increasingly challenging. He is also an avid music lover.
