  Friday Night Conversation

  Awakening the Inner Psychic: Exploring Intuitive, Psychic, and Other Spiritual Experiences in TherapyThe Abandoned Self

  Hosted by: Steve Cheney, M.A., LPC, IRT

  
  

  Surely every clinician has experienced a moment of inexplicable knowing—a gut feeling, a flash of insight, an image that came out of nowhere, or a sense of something just beyond words. Yet, in a profession grounded in evidence and technique, we are rarely encouraged to explore these moments. What if, instead of dismissing them, we approached them with curiosity and play?

  This conversation will take us to the "back of the house" of our own minds—the unseen, intuitive realm where deeper wisdom resides. Just as a restaurant’s kitchen is where the real magic happens before a dish reaches the table, the therapist’s inner world is alive with insights that shape the therapeutic experience. By embracing intuition, psychic impressions, and spiritual dimensions, we not only expand our understanding of clients but also rediscover the joy and spontaneity of therapy itself.

  Join us for an open-minded, experiential exploration of these hidden dimensions. Whether you’re skeptical, intrigued, or already attuned to these experiences, this is a space to play, reflect, and reconnect with the deeper, often unspoken, aspects of our work. 

  
  

  About The Presenter

  Steve Cheney, M.A., LPC, IRT, specializes in couples and group therapy in Austin, Texas. With a decade of counseling experience, his approach integrates Jungian Psychology, Existential, Imago Relationship Therapy, Psychodynamic, Somatic, and Intuitive/Energy work. Alongside his wife, Emily Harrington-Cheney, he co-leads couples workshops throughout the year and facilitates two therapy groups.

  Steve is deeply committed to living the symbolic life, a philosophy imparted by his late mentor, Dr. John L. Garcia. This means engaging with the world through a lens of deeper meaning—recognizing the significance embedded in both the mundane and the extraordinary, and seeing beyond the literal into the rich tapestry of myths and archetypes.
