You're Self-Aware. But Still Stuck.

I'm George Stuby, a psychologist (MSc) and musician.

Most of my clients arrive with external success and an internal flatness they can't explain. The promotion was announced, the congratulations rolled in all day, and by Thursday it already felt like it had happened to someone else. The income grew, and the bar for enough quietly moved with it. They've done therapy. They understand their patterns. But understanding hasn't changed how they feel at 11 pm: a tight chest, a short temper, a night without sleep. The pattern doesn't sit in what they know. It lives in their dysregulated nervous system.

If that sounds familiar: in my sessions we don't analyse your past for the hundredth time. We look at what happens when the pattern shows up: the knot in your stomach before a call, the jaw still clenched after work, the evening glass of wine that makes it bearable. Often there is a part of you that keeps all of this under control — the voice that says you'll lose your edge if you start to feel. We don't fight that part. It has protected you for a long time, so we get curious about what it's afraid of, until it can step back a little.

Once it does, we notice what is going on in your body and put a name to the feeling underneath. Where talking stops, breathing and music take over. After the session, we take it into your week: one concrete step, and next time we look at how it went. I developed this approach and call it the FEELING method. The goal isn't to feel good all the time. It's to feel what is there, and to recover from a hard day in hours instead of weeks.

I run my own psilocybin retreats in the Netherlands and have guided more than 70 over the years, on my own and for leading organisations such as Spinoza, where I grew from assistant to lead facilitator. Beyond that, I've worked with hundreds of people worldwide in individual sessions and couples work.

I trained in somatic plant medicine integration with Atira Tan and in somatic parts work, and I'm completing my certification in Compassionate Inquiry with Dr. Gabor Maté. My master's thesis researched values and ethics in Dutch psychedelic retreats. I host the podcast Inner Alchemy and work in English and German.

My mission: help your nervous system feel safe — safe enough in yourself to be present in your body, your relationships, your creativity, your life.
