How can psychotherapy help me?
There are times throughout our lives when we are confronted with
personal challenges. Even if you have the well meaning
support of partners, friends, family or
community, you may want or need something more. You consider looking
for a therapist, someone
who is trained to listen, to help you work through and come to
better
understand issues that keep you from being fully
present in your life. Maybe painful aspects of yourself are
surfacing; you can’t make sense
of them alone. Maybe your relationships with others are suffering and
you can’t
figure out why or what to do, you're stuck. The hardest
part of this may be the isolation, the fact that you feel you
really can't talk to anyone about it. That can be
really lonely.
To speak of and make meaning of these thoughts/feelings and to work
through
them together in a collaborative and supportive environment can be a
great relief, a great help- and this is the basic aim of my work as a
relational psychotherapist.
I believe that as we explore the problems or issues affecting
your
life, we create new possibilities. In confronting the stuck places and
understanding them together, you become better enabled to engage
in your life and in the relationships that you have and hope to have.
