Our logo imagery-the eliptical orbit of the infinity circle, illustrates the evolving life cycles of human development, journeying from in-utero and birth, throughout the  developmental lifespan. Our perspective is from an holistic integrative view, asserting a basic point of departure for its view of human nature.  This basic point of departure is that we are all born with a divine spark.  Following birth, many things dynamically happen that impede or foster our individual and personal growth—both physically and emotionally

Girded by our research on Attachment and Human Development, we recognize the role that attachment, separation and loss have in the establishment of a secure base for optimal health throughout the developmental stages of the lifecycles. Our vision and focus center on the nexus of trauma etiology as manifested during these intermittent stages. Specifically, we are tracking posttraumatic stress disorder throughout the lifespan, and the role that dissociation, resiliency, spiritually, and neglect have in this process.  We follow the holistic path to understand wellness, resiliency and spirituality as essential and integral parts for achieving optimal health and Oneness--the synergy of mind, body, spirituality and soul.  We hope to remain mindful of the importance and attention that self-care and resilience affords in the recovery from trauma and traumatic events. We are also aware of the impact that traumatic experiences have on our First Responders, who with neither question nor hesitation engage the landscape of traumatic events, giving emergency mental health, aid, comfort and assistance to those affected by the man-made and natural disasters.  9/11, the Asian tsunami, Katrina, Iraq and the current Middle-East conflict  have all brought new meanings to PTSD and Dissociation--making them even more complex than they previously were.

At LifeCycleJourneys, we will mindfully seek to become a leading provider in and of the ongoing study, research and practice in the search for new pathways to access and assist with optimal wellness, enhanced imagination, and authentic creativity.  We recognize myriad schemas to provide insight, helpfulness and support to aid and assist in the alleviation of "Overwhelming demands placed upon the physiological system that results in a 'profound felt sense' of vulnerability and or loss of control.” Bessel A. van der Kolk, MD, Alexander C. McFarlane, and Lars Weisaeth, Traumatic Stress: Effects of Overwhelming Experience on Mind, Body, and Society.

We hope to mindfully engage collaboration, to observe related trends, news, practice and research, and to enable possibilities that may make differences in overcoming the overwhelming nature of psychological and physiological trauma amid some of the traumatic events unfolding in our lives at the beginning of this millennium.
