Nancy Dreyfus, Psy.D., I'm a psychotherapist, former journalist and teacher and student of metaphysics who started out a self-conscious bookworm in a tense, glamour-oriented household in Metuchen, New Jersey. I used to wonder as a teenager whether there was "some book out there that told you what to say to people." I had little awareness that "relating" required a Self. As a graduate of The Columbia School of Journalism and prize-winning reporter, I managed this sense of invisibility by crusading for the oppressed. When I was 25, I actually was offered a job expanding this niche at The New York Times...about the same time The Universe offered a competing option: An assignment to write an exposè of a spiritual group gave me an unimagined experience of simply feeling whole. When an admired editor told me I had written something incredibly mediocre, and astonishingly, I felt no familiar diminishment, I promptly left journalism and decided to spend the rest of my life exploring ways to access and sustain the identity that made that possible. A psychotherapist now for over 25 years, I see myself as a kind of transpersonal scout, helping people let go of external structures that no longer fit and orienting them to what it means to live a life based on their own insides. A phrase I like in this regard is Trust in Being. I'd say that the whole atomic sub-structure of Talk To Me Like I'm Someone You Love is that trusting in one's own Being will automatically optimize relationality. I believe that human beings are just beginning to learn what it means to be truly human and that we have many different parts--and the trick is to feel these parts without losing our Inner Grown-up. I believe I bring clarity and heart to the growth process,and that my openness about my flaws and limitations serves my clients, students and readers as well as my strengths. I live, work and do my thinking in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania where I practice walking my talk with the man in my life I now love. http://www.nancydreyfus.com
