His master’s degree project was an exploration of Reichian therapy and his doctoral dissertation was a study of the relationship between the inhibition of breathing and emotional repression. Formerly on the adjunct graduate faculty at Antioch University and Argosy University, he currently teaches somatic psychology in Lewis and Clark’s graduate school of counseling.
