"Welcome to my site, I am glad you stumbled on here. Being in your shoes before, I know how confusing it can be. What is therapy? What can I expect? It’s normal to be overwhelmed at first. Therapy is sometimes misunderstood as a place where you need to go and be formal, a place where you need to go in order to “get better” - I guess it’s because other forms of therapy, like massage therapy, do have this goal! That’s not quite it. I don’t believe that anyone needs to “get better.” Maybe you’re anxious and want to reduce that uncomfortable feeling, or maybe you get so angry that you lash out at your loved ones. This is all normal, and rather than reject that these emotions should be there, I work with you to understand the why. Why are they there? What is their purpose? How do they help you? Believe it or not, all emotions have a purpose and serve to protect you from an internal (or external) danger. (Aka a threat to your stability, happiness, safety, etc). I use various techniques/resources/methods to help you reduce the undesired behaviour/feelings that these emotions create. The first step to that, is always getting curious! There is nothing wrong with you, if it feels wrong, it just means you don’t fully understand it - and that’s ok, most of us don’t right away. It’s not something we’re taught to do. That’s what therapy is for! I am happy to offer free consultations for those who would like to learn more. Please visit the book now page to book yours. I look forward to hearing from you." |
