My hope is that this collection of my thoughts over the last seven years of working with Third Culture Kids will create space for you to explore and make sense of the incredible life you’ve lived.

Life is full of challenges and obstacles. Each individual has faced their own set of struggles as they make the journey on the pathway of life. Many have turned to therapy to release the pain and anguish that have entered into their world. Therapy isn’t just an option to consider when you are experiencing difficult times (which we all do).

Keppe's contention is that the disastrous idea perpetuated in both medicine and religion that strange manifestations in the human being are completely physical, and only occasionally spiritual is allowing malignant spirits free rein in their spurious influence over human beings. Keppe's innovative therapeutic perspective is that this mistake must be corrected for humankind to have any chance of returning to a normal peaceful and abundant life.
