Welcome to The Listening Field, a psychotherapy blog dedicated to trauma healing, somatic therapy, men’s development, and the deep relational work that helps people grow.
There is a kind of listening that begins long before words are spoken.
It happens in the body, in the subtle shifts of breath, in the tremor of a truth trying to make its way to the surface. In therapy, this is the work: to create a field spacious enough for a person to come into contact with themselves.
I call that space The Listening Field.
It is not a technique.
It is a posture of soul.
A willingness to meet another human being without rushing, without fixing, without reducing their story to a diagnosis or a plan. It is the discipline of staying close to what is real—even when it is fragile, unfinished, or frightening.
In the Listening Field, healing doesn’t happen to someone.
It happens with them.
It unfolds at the speed of trust, in the presence of another who refuses to turn away.
We live in a time of noise—relentless, insistent, impatient.
But underneath all that noise, people are longing for a place where their experience can land, be held, be understood, and be named without moral judgment. That longing is not a weakness. It is a sign of life.
This blog is an invitation into that kind of listening.
Here I will write about:
• the inner world and its hidden movements
• the courage it takes to heal
• relationships as vessels of repair
• the soul’s journey through suffering, love, and change
• the deep psychology that shapes us
• and the surprising ways meaning returns, even after long absences
My hope is that these reflections become a small resting place—an opening in the week—where you can feel less alone, more connected, and more oriented toward the life that wants to emerge in you.
Welcome to The Listening Field.
Let’s listen together.
The Listening Field is written by Ottawa psychotherapist Christopher Lee Chang, RP (Qualifying). This blog explores trauma healing, somatic therapy, men’s work, emotional resilience, depth psychology, and relational approaches to psychotherapy.
