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, individual psychotherapy for women 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, therapists, and professionals achieve profound personal growth and authentic expression.

For All – Global Workshop: Reclaiming Trust and Pleasure Through Sleep

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?
Are you seeking a deeper connection with your dreams and your inner self through transformative tools and mythological storytelling?

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

In this workshop, you will:

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

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

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

• Engage in guided meditation with me as your facilitator

Through these tools, you will enhance your 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 or seeking a deeper connection to your inner self, this workshop offers a compassionate space for growth. As your facilitator, I bring years of experience as a Dream Psychotherapist, specializing in trauma recovery and the transformative medicine of dreams.

Mental Health Consultant for Film & TV

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

Working alongside directors, producers, and department heads, I offer confidential support for performance anxiety, stress management, and personal triggers. 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.
