Integration: the challenge of being
Life can be difficult and often painful. What we don’t want comes to us in the form of uninvited change and what we long for or are deeply invested in may shift in unwanted ways. Life transitions of any kind challenge the familiar foundations of our world view and invite us to grow and integrate our experience through each stage of our lifespan.
Cultivating choice: making the unconscious conscious
Each of us is a unique being: from hearts and bodies to brains, every person experiences the world through the singular lens of their subjectivity. Each of us has been profoundly shaped by the culture, class and family system in which we were introduced to the world and first learned about love, safety, boundaries and connection with others. By uncovering and exploring these formative and largely unconscious relational patterns, psychotherapy is a place where compassion for oneself can open up new choices, energy and meaning.
