At this point in your life when you are looking for therapy, you may have a hunch that the burden you carry has grown too much to hold on your own and somebody needs to hear you out. Many conversations heal, but the difference between a psychologist and a friend is that looking at things with the tools and theories we have at our disposal can help you define the problem, perhaps reframe it and then resolve it. That is the starting point for feeling better. You may wonder whether anything can really help, because everything may seem complicated and deep, but the wonder of your own self is waiting for you to unfold.
Because I am trained in both, clinical and psychoanalytical psychology, I use three kinds of tests and therapies. First I will listen because that is our therapeutic mainstay. I will almost always use a test called Instahappy and then the BG and TAT. I am a Kleinian and trained by the very people who were trained by Klein who was trained by Freud, himself.
Truth heals. It's the simple secret of all therapy. The process of healing begins with an identification of what's wrong and where the problem lies. It's almost magical to see how words can restore health and health can have meaning first through one's head, heart and body.
