What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

Many of us live lives that are all about pursuing material and prestige goals, and immediate pleasures. There is little room in our lives for reflection, for looking at the little details and the bigger picture, for seriously and respectfully listening and speaking - unless we create that space and that time. There are always areas of ourselves that don't receive enough attention, and parts of our relationships and our work that just, inevitably, get stuck. I have come to learn that my greatest pleasure in my work is one of my greatest pleasures as a person, as a husband, father, and friend - to improve relationships and help individuals feel better about themselves while handling the truth about their lives with greater clarity, honesty, and courage. To live better. It is a good goal.

On the Fence About Going to Therapy?

Let's just talk. Whatever stereotypes you've experienced about psychotherapy, analysis, counseling, etc, it really just comes down to two people having a focused, private dialogue. As long as there is respect and curiosity, something new will be learned and achieved. And in no other relationship in life can you feel quite so free to say whatever needs to be said, without fear that some relationship, some project, or your business reputation, will be ruined by the honesty. This is what therapy is about.
