Depth PsychologyThe experiences we move through in life are complex; the balance of thought, emotion, and sensation is delicate. Life experiences create a pattern that we will unconsciously replay, often leading to symptoms and suffering. you may have noticed your thoughts become harsh or intrusive, your emotions overwhelming, relationships difficult, and you may have lost attuned awareness to your own body. Trauma leaves us fragmented; mood disorders misconstrue our sense of self; anxiety distracts us from what is important in the here and now. In order to break an unhealthy pattern, we must first become aware of the traumas, influences, and beliefs that create and maintain this paradigm. The therapeutic relationship provides an acutely attuned alliance that supports your highest self. The therapist is able to listen and empathize unconditionally in order to provide a clear reflection and concise interpretation of the patterns, connections, and underlying causes causing your suffering. Through self-awareness, we gain insight into our true nature, develop the ability to self-regulate, and become empowered to create a new lifestyle. True recovery is attaining and maintaining a lifestyle that emphasizes a positive relationship with yourself.
