The purpose of therapy is not to remove suffering but to move through it to an enlarged consciousness that can sustain the polarity of painful opposites.
~James Hollis Now that my ladder's gone/ I must lie down where all the ladders start/ in the foul rag and bone shop of the heart. -W.B. Yeats |
A variety of symptoms can arise if we cannot find the resources to effectively face the challenges of our life's journey. Sometimes we live with these symptoms for years before we can begin to heal. I encourage you, as one human being to another, to seek this healing in whatever way feels right to you. You do not have to live with the pain of your symptoms, and you can find ways to face your inner demons, no matter how long they have been with you.
Depth psychotherapy aims to excavate these painful dilemmas through a process of self-exploration. Together we will attempt to shed light into the strange and uncharted wilderness of Self that is often outside of societal norms. This process has the potential to create an alignment with inner resources that can guide us through a confusing terrain that may or may not make sense.
Over time, this strengthens the capacity for inner knowing. Gaining the strength and knowledge to follow our inner compass is deeply healing and life affirming, albeit at times fraught with danger. Therapy is a place of safety that can help a person find the tools to authentically deal with life's challenges.
