John Surdus

As a psychotherapist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate chronic stress, anxiety, and the exhaustion often linked to psychosomatic conditions. My approach has evolved from my foundational work in Brief Therapy and Reverse Therapy—which examines the connection between lifestyle, stress, and physical health—into a modern, "non-fixing" practice focused on awareness and presence.

My writing bridges the gap between sophisticated models of the mind, such as predictive processing, and the immediate, lived reality of the self.

In my latest book, Float, I offer a grounded framework for stepping out of limiting narratives and into a state of direct, unmediated awareness. Whether you are seeking relief from specific symptoms or a deeper shift in how you relate to your consciousness, my work provides the tools to rediscover the freedom inherent in simple, open being.
