Organic Intelligence Sessions
Post Trauma Growth
What is Organic Intelligence®?
Organic Intelligence® is a unique therapeutic framework that effectively catalyzes your biology’s inherent self-healing capacities and grows your overall resilience and well-being. This cutting edge and holistic framework empowers you to live the life you most deeply want by supporting change at the level of the biology and healing from accumulated trauma, stress, and experiences that cause suffering and pain. We heal and grow through support, kindness, and ease, and the most amazing part about this is our biology naturally knows how to do this. In OI, we work directly with the neurobiology and facilitate this gentle process of accessing and integrating the innate resources of intelligence organically arising within you. This connected and authentic state of being (biological synchrony) is your birthright of resiliency and empowerment.
This Trauma Safe® process grows your capacity to be with life as it is and increases your bandwidth for embodiment and compassion, your ability to handle complexity and challenge with growing ease, and deeper connections in your relationships and work. When we engage in this kind of inner personal work, it naturally empowers our being and work in the world as agents of transformation, justice, healing, and compassion for the human and more than human world.
Organic Intelligence is suited for adults and teens seeking to:
Enlarge your capacity to be with life as it is with greater ease and resilience
Process trauma patterns that keep you stuck, in a state of stress, or prevent you from the life you desire
Widen your ability to live an embodied, empowered, and sustainable life rooted in your inner knowing and the wisdom within and all around you
Create healthy, mutual, and enjoyable relationships
Increase your compassion, sense of belonging, and self-awareness
Energize your vocation and purpose as a human being, activist, parent, or agent of change
Learn practical skills of nervous system regulation for greater ease, connection, and pleasure in your life
Organic Intelligence is built on the sciences of psychology, complex systems, anthropology, neurology, and biology as well as spirituality, mindfulness, and wisdom traditions. OI integrates the wisdom of our inner nature — biological, psychological, and spiritual — with the current understandings of complexity science and neurobiology.
OI facilitates post trauma growth through a protocol and trajectory through:
Orientation
to the here and now. We practice and cultivate the skill and capacity of bringing our attention to the external environment which allows our biology to experience a felt sense of safety and ease.
Positive Reinforcement Framework
Currently, many therapeutic and coaching modalities are centered around the “what’s wrong attention” and by emphasizing one’s trauma, can actually reinforce patterns of high intensity and suffering in a negative reinforcement framework. OI is unique in that it draws on our brilliant healing nature to build a nest of support and resource from which trauma and stressed is processed. This creates a positive reinforcement framework in which we are able to draw on our natural resilience to navigate all the ups and downs that life brings.

Logistics
Sessions are 60 minutes and take place over Zoom or at my office in the neighborhood of Hillcrest in San Diego, California.
I offer a needs based sliding scale and do not accept insurance at this time.
I also offer discounts for OI students in the OI Coaching, HEART, and other Educational Programs.
I work with both teens and adults and welcome all.
While OI Sessions are generally more goal oriented than spiritual direction, I find people are often drawn to a hybrid combination of OI and spiritual companionship. If this is something you are curious about, we can discuss what this looks like in more detail during our introductory consult call.
We heal - personally and professionally - not by dredging up the past, not through ‘the window of tolerance,’ nor pain. We heal in the here and now, through attuned relationship, support and kindness. When our biology enters the phase of auto-organization, symptoms are relieved, self-efficacy emerges, and one’s post-trauma growth journey takes wings. — Steve Hoskinson, founder of Organic Intelligence
