Hi, I am Tommy Guiliano. I am currently working on my Doctor of Clinical Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. After years of exploring altered states, alternative healing modalities, and ancient wisdom traditions, I surprised myself by reentering into the world of academia. I have been relatively dissatisfied with the way that our current system fails to acknowledge and recognize the transpersonal realms of experience in the wake of our mental health crisis, and so I was motivated to stay away from this world. I later found inspiration through this very reason, allowing my dissatisfaction to be the reason I pursue this path and contribute to building the bridge that I so deeply believe needs to be built.
I am passionate about studying the nature of mystical experience and transformation, the unification of masculine and feminine energies, and cultural blindspots that keep us stuck in a collective rut. I am also interested in gender and sexuality, depth psychology, and ancient wisdom traditions from various indigenous cultures.
I aspire to use this platform to write about these topics and to hone my ideas as I continue to learn and my beliefs continue to evolve. Thank you for following along with me on this journey!
