Deborah Merchant invites you to discover
Who you are living connected to Life, existing as Whole, aligning your world with what fulfills you!
Welcome to TheVitalPsyche
My Calling
Since I was young, when I met someone, I saw them as whole, magnificent, really interesting, unique. That was considered an endearing trait when I was a child. As I got older, this tendency seemed to bother people, which confused me, but added to my journey of studying human nature. Before I was a teenager, this confusion led to understanding boundaries, personal space, and other social patterns, but then I noticed not everyone had the same standards or patterns, even though each person considered their ways to be normal. Also, these so-called social norms still did not account for why so many people seemed so uncomfortable to be 'seen'.
This website is to connect with you, and to explore what it could be to know ourselves as whole, as living connected to life. This is a very multi-dimensional conversation, so there is a lot to engage with. I want to share ideas and resources with you, in the hopes of having some of you wake up to your magnificence, some of you to become able to remain faithful to that spark which makes you unique and special, and others to be confident in sharing who you came to this life to be. I see a lot of evidence that humanity is awakening to itself again, and is shedding the redaction it has suffered for ages.
I will be talking about all that with you, and more, for this is my life's work. I also see many others engaged in supporting the awakening or evolution in progress. If you want individual conversations, ie mentoring, in this area, you are welcome to make an appointment through the calendar below.
My Approach
At the core of my work with clients is knowing you are innately whole, with conditions or events in the way of living your wholeness to its fullest.
From my training, examples of how we might work together include: having you focus on your strengths and what is working well in your life to move past blockages you experience. We might explore how you assign meaning to aspects of your life, often based on beliefs you have, and what cognitive distortions you may have (thought patterns that don’t quite add up). From there, we could investigate how to adjust and construct new beliefs or thought patterns that may serve you better in aligning with your values and goals. You become consciously aware that you have a lot more power in designing/constructing your world than you previously realized. In addition, I may offer assistance in finding or inventing solutions to better design your life or resolve the concern you brought to the conversation. Together we weave all this into the fulfillment of your success - success as defined by you.
Since I am a Spiritual Emergence coach, that could be another area of conversation: providing education and support in any awakening or emerging consciousness you are experiencing.
And finally, I mentor people in learning a writing practice which, at its core, develops your mind beyond the fear-based conditioning of Western society. This writing practice is much more than journaling. It has value in reducing stress, getting to know your authentic self, and accessing constructive, life-enhancing expressions leading to the fulfillment you seek.

My Services
Currently I offer one-on-one conversations in these areas of expertise:

a group setting, but will still most likely be via zoom at this
time.
