Depression, anxiety, and despair invite us to seek out deeper connections and growth. The intimacy that develops in the therapeutic relationship is different from what passes for communication in most peoples' daily lives. In the I and Thou, of genuine therapy, there is no barrier. The goal is to be able to totally see and to be seen. Pretense, persona, the need to impress, many aspects of false perception all fall away. There are no barriers. It is a way of healing soul sickness that is challenging to both therapist and patient while at the same time being effective and fulfilling.
I have personally explored the human Psyche for decades, in my personal journey and by working with others. This kind of therapy is not for the timid, but for those of us who are willing to brave our journeys into darkness, confronting the unexpected and embracing the inexplicable, I am on the transgender spectrum; any form of gender expression is welcome.
Write down a recent dream, or spontaneously make up a short story. Send what you write to me, and together, we will explore the unconscious elements contained therein. We may then discuss next steps, leading to the exciting process of self-discovery made possible through this exploration of the unconscious. No charge for initial consultation by e-mail/phone.
