My Treatment Philosophy
I know that everybody does not receive the reassurance and guidance they needed growing up to facilitate learning how to care for themselves kindly. Often without realizing it, some of us find ourselves still believing that what we think and how we feel do not matter. We repeat many of the same behavior patterns we learned as children, which too often hurt and prevent us from moving ahead with our lives. Even though we want to change, we tend to cling to what is familiar, rather than take the leap into the unknown. Behaviors that may have helped us earlier in our lives may no longer serve our best interest. Some of the decisions we made about ourselves and how we believed life is may need to be reconsidered and updated.
Change becomes an option to most of us when we become conscious of our continual discomfort and grow tired of ending up in the same old painful situations over and over again. We then become more willing to surrender our old ways of thinking and behaving in order to explore new paths of living rather than merely surviving. Psychotherapy can provide the emotional support and a practice field to try out those changes. With patience and in time we learn that how we have felt about ourselves does not have to always remain the same. There is always hope to have a different outcome.
