Psychotherapy
deals with human suffering and our attempts to escape suffering or transcend
it.
Psychotherapy
also engages the human spirit, and allows us to explore areas of living
that are presently beyond our control. The psychotherapy journey presents
an opportunity to develop mastery over our inner life, particularly our
emotions, our automatic reactions, and our limiting beliefs about ourselves
and about life. It provides an opening to grow and be more skillful in
the
art of living.
Here
are some life-questions that can be addressed in the therapeutic journey,
as they relate
to you:
Choice making and no-choice realities
Personal freedom and its limits
Powerlessness and empowerment
Emotional expression and emotional mastery
Denial of emotions as primary "movers and shakers" of inner life
Slavery to emotions and the need for balance
Early life strategies which no longer work
Shame and its role in depression
Fear and its role in avoidance behavior
Anger and its place in human affairs
Moment-by-moment awareness and its power to interrupt unwanted patterns
The list is endless…
