HOW PSYCHOTHERAPY CAN HELP
It is my observation and experience that people are often disturbed by conflicting feelings, whether about themselves and their self regard or about an external issue ("I feel torn/confused about this...", I'm of two minds about that...", "I wonder if I'll ever figure out exactly who I am because I feel so differently about things at different times.") I observe that when people find themselves in a respectful environment such as a therapeutic relationship and are invited to explore, without judgement or criticism, all the different facets of their conflicting internal states, they experience a certain sense of relief and a gradual, sometimes immediate, sense of self acceptance.
HOW CAN I START WORKING WITH YOU?
I would advise those who are ambivalent about being in therapy to try out a few of us and see how it feels. Therapists have many different styles and it's important to find a therapist with whom one feels a good chemistry. I would say, simply, that if it feels right, it's right and if it doesn't feel right, it isn't. In that case, it would be good to keep shopping. A person/client usually knows when it feels right.
