    Holding What Remains - A Grief Meditation

    Grief has a way of undoing us. It can leave us feeling unanchored… disoriented… like something essential has been taken and nothing quite makes sense anymore. And while the world keeps moving, something inside of us feels like it has come to a standstill. In this episode of Project I Am, I invite you into a different kind of encounter with grief. Not one that tries to fix it. Not one that rushes you through it. But one that gently makes space for it. This is a guided meditation designed to help you sit with your grief… to notice where it lives in your body… and to reconnect with what remains. Because while loss changes everything, it does not erase the love, the connection, or the imprint left behind. Whether you are grieving the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a life transition, or a version of yourself… this space is for you. Slow down. Breathe. Come as you are. You don’t have to carry this alone.

    The Courage to Be Seen Part 2 - Stories of Truth and Transformation

    What does courage really look like? In this second group conversation about Courage, Dr. David Schlosz invites four new guests to share a defining moment in their lives when they chose courage. What unfolds is an honest and deeply moving conversation about truth, returning to self, saying yes, being an ally, new beginnings, and the difficult decisions that shape who we become. Each guest shares a personal story followed by a meaningful poem, and together the group reflects on what courage feels like, what it costs, and how it often requires us to choose authenticity over approval. The conversation becomes something unexpected: a sacred space of reflection where strangers witness each other's courage and discover the common thread connecting their stories.

    Relational Identity Integration Part 3: The Relational Field - How Integration Happens in Therapy

    If fragmentation forms in relationship, integration must also happen in relationship. In this episode, Dr. David Schlosz enters the therapy room to explore how identity integration unfolds in real time. Drawing from the existential immediacy of Irvin Yalom and the relational conditions described by Carl Rogers, he describes how subtle micro-moments in therapy create opportunities for reintegration. This is a practical and clinical episode — exploring how therapists can work with parts without pathologizing them, how shame is metabolized in relationship, and why the therapist’s own regulation is central to integration. Integration is not technique alone. It is relational presence in action.
