approach to psychotherapy
I view psychotherapy as a creative process between two people. It involves discovering oneself in relationship with another.
The space of therapy is open for exploration. This space is created to explore and discover the parts of yourself that may have been hidden. Imagination and creativity are central to mental health.
In the pursuit of creating art, many artists experience ongoing challenges to their self-esteem. Their self esteem is on the line, like their insides are on the outside.
Therapy is a collaborative process. It is an opportunity to understand and address, to change the ways you are stuck around doing the creative work you want to do.
As Nelson Mandela said in his inauguration speech, our deepest fear is not that we will be insignificant but that we will be too big -- too much.
