I believe we are all born unique and perfect. Hiding within us …all the resources we need to have a balanced and peaceful life.
Throughout the course of living we may experience things that set us off course.
Often, you may not know why you feel “not right” or “out of synch”.
This is where therapy can help. Help with the pain of being disconnected from yourself, your loved ones, and the world.
Some typical goals for therapy:
Feeling deeply connected to oneself and the world all around us.
To be attuned with our own inner life and the lives of others.
To connect with all parts of the complex self.
Learning self compassion and how to truly meet your needs.
Reconnecting to the parts of us are shut off, rejected, isolate, disconnected.
Connect with others, being responsive to their needs and asserting appropriate boundaries so as not to be swallowed up by the connection.
The therapy process can be described as pealing off the layers of false beliefs and unhelpful coping habits. Learning to have compassion for our past and present self. To nurture the inner child who may have not felt safe, who continues to seek love and safety, sometimes in the worst ways. It is easy to get in a coping habit that is destructive. Learning to identify what does not serve us, letting it go, and replacing with healthy habits is an important part of creating a new way of managing life’s struggles.
This may be the first time you have considered seeking help from a professional. Sometimes we have to live with a problem for a long time until the discomfort becomes too great, that moment is ripe for change and transformation.
