Therapy often goes into areas that were likely too difficult to look at on one’s own. People have different methods of avoiding this discomfort: drugs, engagement in risky or soul-emptying sexual practices, over-working, over-eating, over-thinking. Even yoga and meditation can deceptively serve to block out pain under the guise of “being in the moment.” Rather than encourage clients to aggressively get rid of these methods, I help them gently explore the pain or fear that made such habits necessary. I pay careful attention to ensure that clients feel safe to go through this vulnerable experience--and come out on the other side.
As a practitioner of Buddhist meditation and mindfulness, I bring the insights of this tradition to support clients in cultivating tolerance of difficult emotions. Sessions can delve deeper into mindfulness when there is an interest in developing a meditation practice.
I practice Emdr, a powerful technique for the healing of trauma. EMDR helps connect our adult brain with the emotional brain, so that the injury can be understood in a more balanced, health-conducing way. As a writer, I am invested in helping clients deal with issues related to creativity, including, of course, the infamous demon: writer's block!
