Stepping into yourself begins at the intersection of mindfulness, compassion, and insight.
Psychotherapy facilitates the innate ability to shift from surviving to thriving. We all wish to feel at ease within ourselves & authentic in our relationships. Old familiar patterns, however, often take us off course. Often we feel stuck and unsure as to where we’re going or how to get there. Self-righting is hard. You or your loved one don’t need to go it alone. The qualities of a therapeutic relationship - curiosity, compassion and collaboration - create a unique environment for self-exploration to find ground, claim emotional freedom and step fully into life.
You may have read the books, listened to the podcasts and even been in therapy before, but things still aren’t working. Beginning therapy (again) can feel daunting. It may be hard to let go of the belief that “everything is fine” or “time will heal.” Your accepting things just as they are - while acknowledging things need to change - is your first step. Early Intervention is key.
Effective therapy starts with the gentle naming of the harder emotions you are avoiding. By building your capacity to reflect on what keeps you trapped in the same emotional dance, a ‘mindful muscle’ grows. Repetition and reactivity is replaced by your ability to make new choices and to chart a new path. Your ability to respond to the present moment rather than to the triggers from the past or worries about the future strengthens. You learn to trust your feelings to help create your way through whatever is holding you back. In time, you begin to not only navigate life, but to creatively enjoy it.
