The Honest-to-God Series with Aingeal Rose & AHONU

We are in Mexico with limited Internet access so we present for your listening pleasure a replay  from an interview in February 2012 with our friend John Berdy. John is a Psychotherapist, Musician, Educator, Grief & Loss Specialist and creator of a unique form of music-enhanced therapy called Archetypal Resonance Therapy™ which incorporates the use of music and sound into the framework of Jungian archetypes.

His concepts and techniques have evolved from an extensive thirty-year study of cross-cultural therapeutic music traditions, including nine years studying the classical music of India.John has 25 years of experience as a Professional Counselor and has worked in a variety of clinical settings, including community and hospital –based mental health treatment centers, therapeutic foster care and hospice. John was Executive Director of a regional Grief Counseling Center near Albany, N.Y. specializing in sudden, traumatic death loss and he subsequently trained grief counselors in New York City following the 9/11/01 terrorist attacks.

He is presently editing for publication a book he has written on the therapeutic application of archetypes of sound and music. He and his wife, the Intuitive Consultant and Psychotherapist Claudia LeMarquand, MA, LPC, operate Black Swan Counseling & Mentoring (blackswancounseling.com) in Asheville, NC.
