So what’s your story?
I love stories. Especially the ones that unfold as people get to know themselves better in therapy. What’s fixed becomes fluid. The walls shift and a new passage opens. Something unexpected emerges.
Therapy is about change. Starting from the first sessions, we’ll try to find out what it is you really want to change, and what that might look like. Inevitably, forces will arise that try to keep things the same. We’ll do our best to notice when this happens and find a way to rewrite the script.
It can be hard to know if therapy is working, but there will be signs. You might start feeling lighter, you might find energy for things that seemed daunting before. Big deals might seem smaller. Little things might take on a newfound importance. You’ll wake up and realize that while you can’t quite put your finger on it, somehow you’re different.
“Moments when the original poet in each of us created the outside world for us, by finding the familiar in the unfamiliar, are perhaps forgotten by most people; or else they are guarded in some secret place of memory because they were too much like visitations of the gods to be mixed with everyday thinking”
