Description Of Practice
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. The same principle applies powerfully to psychotherapy. Sometimes you don’t know what you really feel until you begin exploring and unpacking your thinking. Discussing your thoughts, feelings, emotions, conflicts and problems with another person can be of great help. If that person is caring, professionally trained, smart, sensitive and objective, then talking with that person and exploring your difficulties and concerns can be illuminating, and of tremendous assistance.
Airing your thinking aloud with a professional, focused, compassionate second ear, can help you to unpack your emotions, rethink chronic problems and worries, and live more consciously. It can give you clarity and allow you to see your problems and issues in a new light. The next time you find yourself depressed; anxious; creatively blocked; in conflict with your mate, family or children; engaging in an unhealthy behavior like reaching for a drink, fattening food, or a drug, you may be better able to comprehend why you are driven to do so, and make conscious some of the connections that were previously unconscious. What happened to trigger the feeling or behavior? Why did it happen then? And most important: must it always proceed like that or can you do something to prevent such harmful or unproductive behaviors from recurring?
Self-awareness and understanding are the necessary first steps to turning injurious behaviors around. Real change can only follow self-knowledge and self-understanding. And it is such genuine change that finally allows you to free yourself from chronic problems and live your life more consciously and with greater pleasure and freedom.
Additional Information
I offer couples counseling and individual psychotherapy, and use a great deal of humor and compassion in my work. I work psychoanalytically (seeking unconscious motivations) and cognitively, looking at present issues and challenges. This means that I utilize both short-term AND long-term therapeutic methodologies. I specialize in working with people who are depressed, anxious, suffering from sexual or relationship issues, daunted by the problems they face, or who find themselves creatively blocked, or not living up to their potential in their vocation, or who wish to guide their careers to new heights and new directions.
I am a licensed psychoanalyst, but not locked into that approach. I utilize whatever works best for each patient. Often this is a combination of techniques and approaches. Common to all my work is that the patient builds self-understanding to take control of her/his life.
