Working in Therapy
Goals in Therapy
Sifting through a jumble of emotions is challenging. Therapy is reaching out for support as you make steps toward clarity and peace of mind. To get the most from the therapeutic experience, consider where you are now and where you'd like to be after therapy. The situation may not change. The greatest power you have is the ability to change yourself. I support you on your journey. How would you know therapy was working? How would you be different?
Processing Sorrow or Anger
If you're looking for a therapist, you're in a painful place. Everyone's pain is valid. If you struggle to feel or verbalize your feelings, you need a safe space to process your feelings. If you are overwhelmed by so many feelings you cry more than usual or have become numb; you need a safe space to process your feelings. I can provide that for you in therapy.
If you are upset or boiling mad due to an experience, you need a safe space to process your feelings and learn how to control your anger.
I can provide that for you in therapy.
Transformation, Growth
Growth happens in stages: self-awareness, acceptance, boundaries, a new mindset, and new decisions. Moving through your process allows you to recognize what you can control, your options, and what changes you can make.
Growth challenges your defenses and pushes you out of your comfort zone to bring change. There is discomfort and awkwardness in doing things differently. You'll get the same result if you keep doing what you've always done. If you want to find your voice, speak your truth in a clear, kind way. If you want a different outcome...Ready, Set, GROW!
