Running, running, running to where do I ask? Running away from painful feelings is often a compromised solution to painful feelings. Pain and Suffering is the portal to emotional maturity. No one is spared suffering but it is how we choose to make meaning out of loss that makes the difference between thriving or a life of bitterness and defeat. Intentional committment to understanding your unique narrative is the task I can help you with. Together we will identify the patterns of behavior, and intense emotional feelings that dysregulate your emotions. Please visit and contact me through my website; PaulaJHamm.com and send request
Core fantasies bind you to original intergeneration family patterns. Listening to your words I will help you connect the meaning of what these patterns of unconscious and conscious thoughts are. Words are powerful and hold significance in the way your inner world is organized. "We are our words." Lacan. Words can either help or hurt. Empowering is a goal.
Therapy is about a relationship with both the therapist and your significant others including your own self-love. Curiosity in therapy will acquaint you with your narrative that forms your relationship to your mind, body, and soul. Telemedicine works, convenient, safe, and very freeing.
