Psychotherapy and Couples Counseling with Humor and Compassion

General Info

HOW DOES TALK THERAPY WORK? There is a writers’ saying: “How can I know what I think until I see what I say?” This is called “shaping at the point of utterance.” This principle applies to therapy. Discussing one’s thoughts, feelings, conflicts and problems with another person is a great help. If that person is professionally trained, caring, smart, sensitive and objective, then talking with that person and exploring your difficulties and concerns can be of tremendous assistance. Airing your thinking aloud with a professional, detached, focused, and yet compassionate second ear, helps you to unpack your emotions, rethink chronic problems and anxieties, and live more consciously. It can help you gain clarity. Self-awareness and understanding are necessary first steps to turning such uncomfortable, unproductive, and injurious behaviors around. Real change can only follow self-understanding. And it is such real changes that finally allow you to free yourself from chronic problems and live your life with greater pleasure and freedom.
