Who are you REALLY when you quiet all the noise inside?
Who are you at your essence? Your core? The space within that is the ground of your being? Do you operate from this center, or is it like a beloved friend you have lost touch with over the years?
In IFS we call this “Self Energy”.
Through psychotherapy, not only can you come home to your truest “self”,
but trust in it as a most exquisite resource.
Do you feel you are living your life from an authentic,
centered place?
Sometimes on our way to what we imagined for ourselves, life has a way of making other plans: A loved one dies, we are diagnosed with a serious illness, a love relationship becomes distant or ends. We may also find ourselves in the grips of an addictive process, see our child riddled with anxiety or depression, or find our once gratifying work place, toxic and unfamiliar. These are some of many obstacles we might encounter.
Or, do you find yourself caught in a vortex of internal chatter, reactivity, or the seemingly endless tasks of daily life?
During such challenging times, I am a believer of using as many resources as possible. Psychotherapy is one such powerful resource. We talk of taking a village to raise our children or becoming more efficient in the workplace, but do we give our emotional health and well being as much attention and consideration?
