Treatment Philosophy
We meet in the sessions as equal people. Each with the live that we have lived to put us in the same room together. You knowing your history better than me. So why come to me: my experience and education. People have been kindly filling my mind with information on how to best help people move from one place to a better one in their lives. This has included formal education but also those who have mentored me in activities and relationships throughout my life. I consider the work a collaboration in which I am a well-informed guide but you know the journey and the baggage you carry and where you want to be.
A newer element to treatment is acknowledging that people are always solving problems -How do I get the most for the least? How should I get there? What should I say? And what do I risk.
At times the perception of the problem or the solution we have tried make things worse. But we are definitely trying to solve a problem. The treatment and support are to assist in achieving a successful solution. A life improved. This is where I can help.
A favorite comment from a client about our process
We just seemed to talk. I enjoyed the conversation but didn't think anything was happening. Until the other day, I was surprised that I had control over my own actions, I didn't just react. That would have never happened before.
People are by design solving problems all the time. At times the perception of the problem and the method one is choosing to solve them don't lead to improvement but can be even more harmful. With realization and support a better solution can often be found and life improved. This is where I can help.
