Holding a Space For Growth To Happen
A therapist is someone who knows how to hold a safe space, ideally having learned the territory by exploring it themselves. I lead this work, because I have done this work, not abstractly, not just from books, but in myself. I know the range of feelings and what each is like, what sensations are, I know the changeability of thoughts, and am deeply committed to staying present with you through all of it. I have had my commitment tested, and I have stayed when things were difficult, and I will do the same with you if you choose to work with me. I know the wonderful growth that can come from being present through adversity.
Being open, having an open, caring heart and a curious mind – these set the foundation for healthy movement in your life. Spending time in a place where you are supported, saturated in these qualities helps develop a totally different experience of life. It can lead to a new and satisfying world. A therapist is someone who knows about this process through experience, and has spent time practicing with facilitating that change in others.
