Why Paradigm?

Paradigm is defined as a typical example or pattern; a worldview underlying the theories of a particular subject. The process of therapy involves exploring and altering your patterns of thinking about and interacting with the world—changing your paradigm.



Why a loon?

Loons have long had symbolic meaning to indigenous people. Some peoples view the loon as the animal who dove into the sea to bring back mud and grass to form land, becoming messengers between worlds. In some Northwest Coast Tribes, loons are a solitary bird that symbolizes tranquility, harmony, and the reawakening of old hopes, wishes, and dreams. Loons rely on water and are viewed as creatures that can move between different worlds, realms, or levels of consciousness.
