In 2011 my private practice marks it's 30th year of providing individual,
couples and family therapy (gay and straight). My client base
encompasses a broad range of issues. Typically my caseload includes
issues of sexual abuse, chemical dependency, codependency, adoption,
depression, adolescence and profound character change with personality
disorders. What links all the issues is pain. Pain is one thing
our culture works hard to sidestep and ignore — deflecting
pain is a mistake. Wrestling with pain cleans up character and
sets all of us on the right path.
In the interest of authenticity: There are 2 mistakes that therapists can make, being too supportive or too challenging. When I make mistakes it is out of being too challenging.
Growth and change are fearsome directions to embrace. If there
is something about yourself that you would like to change, first
understand why you do it and how it works for you. I.e. - child
sucking thumb, source of comfort and reassurance.
The most important ingredient to change is if you want to and if you are willing to be honest and brave.
I.e. - Lonely?
• Ask yourself how do you keep yourself lonely?
• Who interests you?
• Do you sit back and wait for people to be interested
in you?
