Psychotherapy |
Welcome!
The type of therapy I offer is a blend of traditional therapeutic techniques, body process therapy (Core Energetics), and spirituality. I also practice subtle energy healing techniques. With this blending of techniques, personal growth occurs in a more dynamic and integrated way, for optimal progress.
Traditional therapeutic techniques help us understand our issues and problems in linear conceptual language, with a solid, meaningful sense of what our "psychological conflicts" are, what our defenses are, and how we can choose to act differently.
Body process therapy, using the Core Energetics model, helps us to know how we have embodied our issues and who we really are, beyond "our issues". In traditional therapy we can have a lot of understanding about what our problems are, but as long as our view remains at the verbal, conceptual level we still are stuck living them: When we see (and feel) how we have embodied our issues with actual energetic blocks (and other forms of energy imbalance), we can choose to release the blocks and have more of our life force flowing through us, to then, in the present moment, embody more fully who we really are.
It seems to me that deep personal transformation cannot occur without spirituality. A spiritual context to personal growth work gives us the container of "truth" or "reality" that we need in order to become whole. In my view of spirituality, the benevolent living energy that is God is all around us, fully supporting us, and within us. Personal growth and spiritual growth are intertwined and inseparable: As we grow we become more whole, more "real", and more connected to the world. Personal growth involves finding our true self and life purpose, our authenticity.
Subtle energy healing techniques include sensing and directing life force energies within and to the client, to facilitate healing and integration. Sensing my client’s energy flow and directing life force energies to my client help the therapeutic process along! Clients also learn to sense energy flow within themselves, and often also around them and in others.
