My Approach to Helping
When we were younger we did the best we could with what resources we had. We accepted many messages from our parent figures and gave ourselves yet other messages. Often we accepted the wounded messages from our parent figures in life (injunctions) along with counterinjunctions from the critical parent figure in our lives. We lived a life script that was usually out of our awareness. We played games - often unknowingly. If you choose, I can help you lead a script-free life. A zest filled passionate life so you experience that Free Child part of yourself - fun and creative - without excess anxiety and fear. Don't live life on automatic pilot. Now that we are older and wiser we can re-examine what decisions we made about who we are and how the world works. We can redecide. Build a new roadmap of life with the support you find in confidential and safe counseling and, of course, in the day to day world that you surround yourself with. Ultimatedly we choose all of what we will feel, do, and think. Insight is not enough. We must take action to change. Insight usually follows change and not the other way around. I am a university professor who teaches graduate students to deal humbly with clients as equals. You have the answers. You are in charge. I will help. I am a published researcher into the mechanisms of change. I have had the good fortune to learn redecision therapy first hand from a renowned expert. My doctoral dissertation was on the topic of redecision therapy. I am here to help you reach YOUR goals. The Power is in You. I accept only a few hard working clients and am able to devote the time and energy to help you reach your passionate goals.
