Therapy is unlike anything else in this world.
It is a joy to be hidden, and disaster not to be found. -Object relations psychoanalyst D.W. Winnicott
Depth oriented psychotherapy explores the unconscious patterns, affect, thoughts, and motives that maintain our psychological distress. Often times these patterns of relating, ingrained thinking and perceiving, or painful emotional states are ways of coping that have allowed us to navigate very difficult situations. But they aren’t working anymore, blocking us from living un-lived parts of our lives. Within images of these same patterns, psyche also holds the balm to heal our wounds.
Trauma is not just what happens to you; it is what happens inside you as a result of what happened to you. -Gabor Maté.
Whether this is your first time in therapy, or you are starting up again, therapy can support making deep changes, finding greater connection in relationships, and living more fully.
A genuine odyssey is not about piling up experiences. It is a deeply felt, risky, unpredictable tour of the soul. -Jungian Analyst Thomas Moore
Together, we can make the journey of therapy less scary and more transformative. The best outcomes happen when you feel trust in the therapeutic relationship, feel understood, openly express yourself, and make connections between insights in therapy and the everyday.
Intuitive insights are like fish in the water; they flash in the sunlight and then dive deep again, only enticed to the surface again by morsels of conscious attention. -Jungian Analyst Marion Woodman
