I know it can be not easy to find a right person to be the therapist. So many people and approaches out there. Can be quite a quest.
Let me orient you to how our work together might look like, so you can feel if that sounds like a fit.
I believe that healing happens through connection and in the pace of the body.
First, we would establish safe enough connection with each other, human to human. No push, no rush, no judgement. Just to be together and feel ok about it. Every part of you will be welcomed.
Then I would help you identify your needs and intentions and we will attune to them together. It can be tricky sometimes to figure out what is that what you really want, going through layers of family and cultural ideas and expectations.
I believe that there is a lot of resource in the world and in each human. We all need to be supported in some way. We need help with holding difficult feelings, getting secure about exploring and doing new things, with sharing joy, with planning and performing actions …
However, due to our history and life experience we learn different ways to not ask and not receive what we need.
Part of our job would be to look together into those parts, which stop you from being you and living the life you want. These parts are often there for a reason, developed as a response to survive in the environment of the family and culture.
Working too much… depression, anxiety, anger and shame… perfectionism… struggle to ask for support… not feeling like you are worse it…. not feeling like people can like you how you are… being overwhelmed with life… struggling to build intimacy… trouble with putting boundaries… working through PTDS… learning to integrate ADHD… having no feeling and being detached from life… wanting connection, but also pulling back from it…
All of these experiences can be supported though healthy enough, secure relationship, which we can build together. When this puzzle gets in place, the door opens up for you to be more You, develop friendship and partnership, feel secure to move towards your goals and build enjoyable life.
