What I Wish You Knew About Therapy

6/23/2014

 
If you have taken a second to look through the pages of my website I think it is pretty clear to see that I love my job. I am passionate about helping others live a life they are proud of and excited about.  Unfortunately, not all people see therapy in such a positive light.  Most of these negative opinions come from those that have never even come to therapy-ironic, no?

But in all honestly, I understand the hesitation and unease that people have around coming in to therapy-it can feel like a vulnerable position to be in. There are many misconceptions about therapy. These misconceptions are preventing people from getting the help that they need. There is a wonderful article over at Mind, Body, Green that speaks to many of these misconceptions, I strongly recommend you check it out -HERE-

Once people make it in to therapy to see me I hear a common fear that has kept them from therapy: They are ashamed of their pain and they fear being pitied.
Well I can honestly tell you, I am not in the business of pity - empowerment, insight, support-YES! Pity? Not even a little.
In my opinion, your pain tells me one thing: That you are human. It isn't a matter of if/what life throws at you because life happens to all of us in different ways-it is a matter of what you do about it.

If you have any questions about what I discussed here or you feel ready to take the next step in your healing, please feel free to contact me for a free phone consultation.
