What Can You Expect from Therapy?

My clients have reported some or all of the following changes in the way they experience their lives after therapy. They discover a new way of choosing, a different sense of what feels good and what feels harmful. Negative feelings loose their seductive power. Their palette of available emotions becomes richer, and the wisdom of those emotions more available. They describe a greater capacity to bring about what they want, feel at home with their strengths and limitations, inhabit themselves more fully, move in new directions, be open in new relationships and new experiences.

My clients have described walking through their day with greater ease, understanding more clearly what they can and cannot change, what is their responsibility and is not their responsibility. They have experienced a clearer sense of distinction between self and other, boundaries functioning in a stronger and more flexible manner. They have described walking with confidence in situations of conflict they would have fearfully avoided in the past. When people have reached out to them they have described returning the gesture with less fear of rejection. They have experience better physical health. Their mind-heart-spirit connection has deepened. Chronic illness has become less severe.

Trauma deceives and leads people to feel that they must be faithful to its pain. Therapy unravels the layers of feelings of guilt, shame, duty and obligation that support this deception and keep trauma survivors locked in internal isolation. Therapy unlocks the door between the inner world and outer world and invites you to come home to yourself. You will grow stronger for having worked with me, stronger and clearer about yourself and others.
