Mindful Masters Daily Reflections

When my family’s home burned down, I found refuge not in walls but in the stars. Star Wars appeared on our tiny television, and in Luke Skywalker’s longing I saw my own.

That spark carried me through a childhood shaped by chaos and into a career as a psychodynamic psychotherapist, where I learned that every mind holds its own galaxy of light and shadow.

This newsletter invites you to explore yours through the mythic lens of Star Wars and modern psychology—Freud’s unconscious conflicts, Bowlby’s secure base, Winnicott’s internal objects, and Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems. Each meditation blends these ideas with galactic imagery, helping you meet your inner rebels and Sith lords, comfort your exiled Younglings, and strengthen the calm, wise Self that unites them all.

Whether you read at dawn or in the dark night of worry, may these reflections remind you that you are both the frightened child and the steadfast Jedi—luminous, whole, and already home.
