Blog Post Introduction
My clients are my heroes. The courage it takes to come into my office, bare their soul, and then let me challenge their strategies for living - their rationale and long relied on logic - is mind blowing, but also a testament to the human drive to heal and our resiliency. I don’t ask anything of my clients, however, that I won’t ask of myself. I self-explore regularly as well with brutal honesty, and that’s where my questions come from for my clients, my own curiosity based on my own self-challenges.
With this incredible privilege of dipping into the human mind, I’ve discovered patterns for mental distortions and patterns for correction and patterns of healing. That’s what I want to offer here.
My goal with this blog is to reveal what I’ve learned about humanity through my practice and my own life, and recommend how I believe we can use that knowledge to heal ourselves and our world. I will line out a 5 step introspective process for healing (The 5 Cs), it’s what I discovered organically throughout my experience as a psychotherapist and personal journey, and employ regularly in each of my sessions.
Also below I will lay a foundation by offering my basic philosophies that I’ve discovered and honed over the years. This will serve as the foundation for allowing the 5 Cs to do it’s job with the greatest efficacy.
Also, I will use my own life explorations as examples of my theories.
