Why Therapy?

Coming to therapy is a big step, you are struggling and though you have tried to make things better, the pain won't go away, you still feel the same - disconnected, disengaged,
Asking for help is a beginning into a new frontier .

It is an opening a door to your inner world and usually facing what you have done your best to avoid. .
The part that gets neglected in a busy life. For most of us, it is when we are struggling, suffering, tired of trying, that we are ready for something new.  

Although it may appear as a linear sequence, therapy is mostly a process, one that provides the opportunity to discover more of YOU. Friendships are wonderful, yet most often, in these conversations there are opinions and directives offered that unintentionally move you further away from leaning into your experience. 

Insight involves reflection, sitting with things, emotional honesty  (the benefit of some kind of journalling), in session I will always invite you to connect with what is going on for you. It allows you to make sense of, explore YOUR experiences. You likely have some ideas around this, and at the same time ‘we don’t know what we don’t know’…. talking about things in a safe & skilled therapeutic environment, having space to hear yourself, to more deeply lean into the experience you are having, allows energies to move.
It is an opportunity to connect with, & give voice to difficult, hidden or obscure feelings, neglected parts of yourself. This can be very healing. Other times more is required, after all you are more than a talking head!

Ideas & Inspiration
Reflection allows us to begin to gain awareness around some of our behaviours, defences and habits-why meditation is beneficial, it allows us to start to discern the difference between the mind, and the wise part of ourselves. To listen to the body, to dial down the noise, and notice when our internal guidance system is giving us a nudge, to start to bring that which you have hidden from yourself into the light of day, where transformation is possible. This is an uncomfortable process, sometimes it's messy, confusing, but if you can stay out of judgement, acknowledge what is going on for you, move towards acceptance, and allow the process, you will get through it, change will happen.

Move a Muscle Make a Change
Regardless of how much insight you have, action needs to be taken, rest too, to integrate and ground these changes, which usually means giving yourself space, time, leaning into the discomfort, allowing your EMOTIONS to flow – we CANNOT heal what we cannot FEEL.
