The root of all health is in the brain. The trunk of it is in emotion. The branches and leaves are the body. The flower of health blooms when all parts work together. - Kurdish Saying
The Therapeutic Relationship The mind has a compelling propensity to seek within reality those elements that confirm what it already knows, often refusing to dismiss or let go of established beliefs. It does so by avoiding the cost of experiencing distress for not recognizing itself anymore, or experiencing loss of control or comfortable repeated behaviors. Simply put, it often refuses to change. The emergence of emotional, relational, or physical distress can signal that your organism is asking for a change, and psychotherapy can offer a significant key to understanding and promoting it. As a psychotherapist, I will be there to provide reflective support through that change. The relationship nature of psychotherapy makes it different from just seeking self-disclosure or the growth and development derived from reading a book that reflects aspects of oneself. It is also different from meditation or confiding problems to a friend. In this clinical relationship, we can work together to redefine the way you relate to your life, regardless of where the issue may stem from.
