A proactive alternative to traditional psychotherapy |

In the world we live in, everybody needs some help at one time or another. For instance: when you feel stuck... Or when you want more out of life, work and relationships... But this doesn't mean you need to be "cured" or "treated" as if you were sick and helpless. My clients do not see themselves as “patients” who seek “treatment”. They are people who want to take a proactive role in getting more out of life. In practice, what does this mean? - We view the problems you're facing as a challenge, as opposed to a disorder or a pathology. This is an opportunity to build on your existing strengths as well as develop new skills. - We set goals and evaluate progress. Inner exploration is very much
related to making changes in your life. In fact, there is a dynamic
relationship between the two: - Getting in touch with feelings and emotions, and exploring your subconscious, is a process that engages your creative side. This helps you tap into powerful innner resources to better face life's challenges. This is an integrative approach, grounded in both psychodynamic and somatic processes... as well as attention to practical issues. I know this may sound like a lot of pompous words. The next couple of paragraphs hopefully can give you more of a sense of what it's like. The work we do is experiential. It's not about rehashing the same thing over and over again, it's about finding a way to "get it" at a deep level, so that you can make the changes you need. We do not dwell on the past as a way to avoid present problems, nor do we ignore the past as if it didn't affect your life. Your "baggage" very much affects your present reality. This is why we can actually deal with it while exploring what you're doing (or not doing) in the present. The liberating effect of this work is to disentangle the crossed strands of past "baggage" and present reality. |
