The Trudge Therapist
Ken Caselden, LPCC
Psychotherapist gone rogue.
Tranformation Coach.
Author.
Human.
After 17 years as a licensed psychotherapist supporting people through trauma, addiciton, grief, and self-worth challenges, I've stepped beyond the traditional therapy room to meet people where transformation actually happen--in the body, in the breath, in the PARADOX (that brave space between who we've been and who we're becoming).
Ken Caselden, The Trudge Therapist, is known for helping people rebuild self-trust and purpose through the paradox of slowing down and showing up to heal.
His work combines the Four Principles of The Trudge Paradox Framework with embodied practices and heartfelt storytelling—showing that when we meet ourselves with honesty and presence, we don’t just heal. We transform.

The 4Ps of Inner Safety
Healing is embodied when we start giving...
- Permission to feel -
- Presence with what is -
- Protection for what matters -
- Peace as your compass -

Human-to-Human Healing
We heal by showing up as we are, not who we think we should be.

- Authentic over perfect -
- Truthful over performed -

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Trudge actually mean?
A: To trudge is to move forward when life feels heavy — to take one breath, one step, one choice at a time. It’s not just surviving. It’s becoming.
What does Paradox mean?
A: It's the moment you realize two seemingly opposite things can both be true. You're hurting -- and healing. You're uncertain -- and still moving forward. You're grieving -- and growing.
Do I need to be "broken" or in crisis to benefit from this?
A: Not at all. Many people come to The Trudge Framework when they feel stuck, burnt out, betrayed, or disconnected from themselves — not broken, but deeply ready to reclaim their life.
Is this therapy or coaching?
A: This is coaching — grounded in therapeutic principles, but focused on present-moment change and long-term transformation. It’s forward-focused, embodied, and highly practical.
What if I'm not ready?
A: That’s okay. Healing honors timing. You can join the mailing list and follow Ken on social media to stay connected until it feels right.
