Finding Your Place: A Therapist’s Journey of Healing Through the Wisdom of PBSP
Many people move through life sensing that something is missing—an underlying feeling of not quite belonging, not quite being at home in themselves.
What if that feeling has a history?
And what if it could be healed?
In Finding Your Place, psychologist and PBSP therapist Curt Levang offers a deeply personal and reflective memoir that weaves together his life story, his Christian faith, and more than four decades of clinical experience. Through the lens of Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor (PBSP) therapy, he explores the fundamental human needs that shape our sense of self: place, nurturance, support, protection, and loving limits.
Drawing from his own history—as a pastor’s son, a clinician, a husband, and a father—Levang shows how early relational experiences live on in the body and continue to influence how we think, feel, and relate to others. With honesty and depth, he examines the impact of what was missing, what was longed for, and what can still be repaired.
Rather than presenting theory alone, this book brings PBSP to life through lived experience. It offers both clinicians learning PBSP and thoughtful readers interested in personal growth a clear and accessible way to understand how developmental needs are formed, how they persist, and how healing can occur through new, embodied experience.
At its core, Finding Your Place is a book about healing. It is about discovering that the past does not need to be erased in order to be transformed—and that through new experience, new meaning, and embodied understanding, it is possible to live with greater grounding, connection, and authenticity.
Available in paperback ($20) and Kindle ($9.99) on Amazon.
