WELCOME to dope(a)me
Marin McCue (MSW, RSW)
How do we participate in the natural process of change to cultivate the growth we dream of?
Informed by our inherent need to “make sense” of what is, to feel connected and a sense of belonging, I am here to support you in finding your way back home to yourself.
I practice with multiple ways of knowing:
knowledge of the nervous system and how it is trying to protect before it can thrive,
an understanding of how the dominant narrative in culture perpetuates an unhealthy illusion of separation (which benefits some more than others),
perception through the lens of multiplicity (of mind, Self, selves) and our essential spiritual nature, and,
the inherent relational quality that is who we are.
And I hold what “I know” lightly, as my mind remains open to new information and the lived experience of others.
Models and tools to learn, practice and play with:
Polyvagal Theory
Regulation Theory
Critical Theory
Breathwork
Body-based Approaches (Somatics and Wisdom/Intuition Teachings)
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I have many identity markers that (within the western capitalistic society) have unearned privilege built into them. And, I of course have been subject to discrimination and judgement for aspects of who I am in certain spaces, places or times as well. I have ancestral bloodlines that connect me to both colonizer and colonized, and this internal reckoning has been one of my most epic journeys. I have benefited from practicing and teaching healing modalities that have roots in multiple ancient cultures. I celebrate the strength and wisdom of these people and their teachings while I continue to understand and take action in the ongoing process of truth and reconciliation.
