Welcome to DreamSomatix – A Journey of Transformation, Learning, and Authenticity

I’m Marilyn Manzi, and at DreamSomatix, I offer a unique blend of global workshops for personal transformation, clinical education for mental health professionals, couples/individual psychotherapy for people in California + Oregon, and support as a Mental Health Consultant for film and television. My work is deeply Jungian-oriented, integrating Dream Psychotherapy©, shadow work, and mythic exploration to help individuals, couples, therapists, and professionals achieve profound personal growth and authentic expression.

For Individuals & Couples Seeking Psychotherapy in California and Oregon (Online)

Reclaim Your Soul’s Vision

Have you become so numb that you no longer feel your own internal "yes" or "no?"

Have you drifted so far from your own body and truth that you find yourself letting life just happen — disconnected, impartial, and objectified by external demands?

Has the hunger for validation eclipsed your authenticity?

Has your craft, once born of soul, been hijacked by consumerism, leaving your expression hollow and haunted?

If you feel the urgency — the fear that if you don't act soon, you may lose yourself entirely — you're not alone.
There is a path back.

You don’t have to navigate this alone.

I work with creators, leaders, and visionaries who feel trapped between success and soul-loss, who know that without swift, conscious action, regret and further deception could follow.

Together, we will:

• Reconnect you to your soul’s original vision.

• Help you weigh all parts — fear, responsibility, hope, desire — with honesty and care.

• Restore your internal compass so you can move forward with both courage and clarity.

• Build the discipline you need to take soulful risks that honor you and those who depend on your leadership.

Your soul’s work is still alive — it simply needs a path home.
Trust that a new way can serve not only you, but everyone your vision touches.

You don't have to choose between your soul and your success. You just have to choose yourself.

Through Dream Psychotherapy©, we address the unconscious fears and wounds that fuel self-doubt and relational distress, helping you reclaim trust in yourself and your relationships. Whether you're navigating personal growth, couples' challenges, or professional spaces, this work will support you in overcoming social anxiety and stepping into a more confident, authentic life.

If you’re ready to move beyond the shadows of self-doubt and embrace a more confident, connected life, I invite you to begin this journey with me.

For All – Global Workshop: Reclaiming Trust and Pleasure Through Sleep (In Person and Online)

Inspired by the Myth of Psyche and Eros

Are you struggling with disrupted sleep or trauma that affects your ability to rest deeply? Do you long to rebuild trust in yourself, embrace pleasure, and cultivate a healthier relationship with sleep and intimacy? Are you seeking a deeper connection with your dreams and your inner self through transformative tools and mythological storytelling?

This transformative workshop invites individuals and couples to explore trauma recovery through Dream Psychotherapy©, using mythological storytelling and mindful ritual to support growth. Inspired by the myth of Psyche and Eros, this structured journey helps rebuild trust, embrace pleasure, and cultivate a healthier relationship with sleep and connection.

In this workshop, you will:

• Curate your personal myth to unlock deeper insights about your emotional and relational journey.

• Write a letter to Eros, embodying themes of trust, renewal, and self-compassion.

• Create your own morning and sleep rituals, grounded in Dream Psychotherapy© and mythic symbolism.

• Engage in guided meditation with me as your facilitator.

Through these tools, you will enhance pleasure in dreams, improve sleep quality, reduce long-term physiological pain, and improve psychological functioning. This workshop is supported by a series of customizable resources to emphasize personal progress, allowing you to reclaim trust, pleasure, and inner resilience.

Whether you're healing from past trauma, seeking a deeper connection with yourself, or looking to strengthen intimacy in your relationship, this workshop offers a compassionate space for growth.

Mental Health Consultant for Film & TV (In Person and Online)

In the demanding world of film and television, prioritizing mental well-being is essential. As a Mental Health Consultant, I provide guidance to cast, crew, and production teams, ensuring a psychologically safe and supportive set environment.

I assess scripts for responsible mental health portrayals, advise on trauma-sensitive scenes, and implement strategies to prevent emotional strain during production.

Through proactive consultation and crisis management, I help foster resilience, emotional balance, and a healthier creative process—allowing teams to produce their best work while maintaining well-being.
