Why do people seek help? I think people in great pain have somehow lost their ability to navigate in the world. Depression, anxiety, and fear renders a person helpless and one cannot summon their old ways of being. Recent trauma or unresolved issues can suddenly alienate a person from themselves. Often people are wrestling with unexamined fears or emotions that have long been dissociated. In the safety of the therapeutic space, the client can confront that which is most difficult with the aim of once again feeling whole, thus able to pursue, with energy and pleasure, their work and relationships.
I trained at a psychoanalytic institute which taught all methods but focused on an interpersonal, relational approach. This allows many of the client's issues to be worked out in the therapeutic interaction with the therapist being more "real" and more active. I also work with trauma utilizing EMDR and somatic therapies.
The relationship between the therapist and client is of key importance. It is the space where the client can explore every aspect of his or her self without constriction. It is also, at its best, the beginning template for the development of authentic and reciprocal relationships in all arenas. And, most importantly, a space where anything can be spoken.
