This was an intense one for me. Stephen offered to do a “session” with me that quickly became very intense and powerful. I’ve experienced this on a few occasions as I’ve done the podcast. One time it was with Gabor Mate, and another time it was with Richard Schwartz. This experience for me was very timely, and thought provoking. I hope you enjoy it.
Stephen Gyllenhaal is the founder of the Identity Development Institute whose mission is to grow a community of practitioners, researchers, and educators who are Early Trauma-informed across North America.
Wounds from conception through pre-verbal development are a major cause of life-long challenges. Getting to the core of the matter allows these Early Traumas to be processed and opens space for each of us to live with more authenticity, power, and creativity.
Stephen trained with Dr. Franz Ruppert and Marta Thorsheim in Oslo and Munich and facilitates ID sessions in North America as well as trains ID facilitators based on the IoPT method. He is a proud father and grandfather.
For over 50 years Stephen has pursued two careers: 1) as an award-winning director of over 60 films and TV shows, including Losing Isaiah, Waterland, Homegrown, Twin Peaks, Rectify, Billions and Bosch; 2) as a “professional patient,” trying to gain clarity about his own personal issues through some form of therapy, analysis or 12 Step Program, including Cognitive Behavioral, Alderian, Attachment, Gestalt, Integrative, Jungian, Marriage and Family, Freudian and Kleinian Psychoanalysis, MPD (DID), Alanon, ACoA, SLAA and DA.
He holds a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and sees himself as a fellow traveler with whomever shares the iD process with him, in either groups or in private sessions.
He has come to understand that the iD process is the most powerful psychological tool he has had the privilege to encounter and is committed to making it available to everyone in North America no matter their life circumstance or personal issues.
