Individual Therapy

How you're feeling is information to you, not something to be fixed. The goal is absolutely to feel better. Yet your body is full of wisdom and when we go straight to having to change the feelings, we often make the causes of the feelings worse. It may help in the moment, but then comes back with a vengance or creates a whole new feeling 'bad'!

​

Despite it being called 'mental health', you're here because of how you feel. Or don't feel. So the first thing we'll explore is if the feelings match the context of your life. Having good things in life and still feeling bad is natural. It's an alert that old stuff is creeping up. Let's get it cleared out of your system.

​

Your biocomputer built it's regulating patterns in the earliest days of life, in whatever context you were in. It doesn't have a timestamp to know you are in a different context now. Old imprints continue to run the autopilot system. It's not that you won't change your habits or feel happy; it's that you can't.  I know this flies in the face of 'choice' and that we 'should' be able to do things. That's partly true. It's true when your threat detection system is in it's alert but unalarmed state. Most of our discontent, distress, and dis-ease is related to resetting the system.

​

By using your feelings as clues into your inner dynamics, we can untangle what had to tangle to get through lived experiences when you were underdeveloped and dependent on the adults around you for regulating, surviving.

 

We'll separate socialized emotions from physiological affect.  We'll delink thoughts, affect, sensations, and behaviors. By clearing the clutter on the inside, you'll more fully see and engage in the present. More clarity to engage in your living.
