Why Do People Come to Therapy?
People come to therapy seeking relief from pain and discomfort. Discomfort may take the form of problematic relationships with others, depression, anxiety, or other psychological issues. People also come to therapy seeking relief from physical symptoms- somatic markers of psychological distress, such as headaches, pain, gastro-intestinal disturbances and other symptoms that may be medically unexplained.
Additional Information
The Goal of Therapy
My goal in therapy is to establish an open and collaborative
relationship with the client.
Emotion in Therapy
Emotion readies us to act if the need arises. It is not logical, nor
does it arrive in linear thought.
Root Causes of Problems
At the root of psychological discomfort is the human tendency
to focus away from painful anxiety-provoking disturbance.
