The important thing about one's symptoms is that therein lies the cure. Each symptom or concern offers a learning in need of discovery and it's through our therapeutic partnership that we can uncover this. As we find more compassionate ways to listen and relate to different aspects of ourselves, our outer relationships make similar shifts. Sometimes dreams are important in the discovery of what is needed to bring healing and balance. Other non-ordinary states, be they the result of spiritual practice, psychedelics, trauma, or a powerful intimate encounter, can offer experiences that can bring a healing integration into ones’ life.
While I use a variety of approaches, depending upon a clients’ stated wishes, the overarching context honors the principles of harm reduction in empowering clients with choice, assistance not direction, safety in trauma informed care, and belief in the clients inner healing ability within a framework focused on wellbeing not pathology.
Reaching out to a therapist can be a challenging endeavor and may take a few tries to find the right fit. So I find it important that potential clients have some free time to talk with me before making the commitment to go on the journey together.
