SPECIALTies
AGING
As you age, do you feel isolated? Less worthy? Not surprising! The dominant narrative is a drumbeat of negativity.
But what does getting older mean for you? What losses are you facing, how is your perspective shifting, what might you be gaining? These are questions for people of all ages.
Anxiety
Anxiety isn’t all bad. For one thing, it can motivate you. But if you’ve ever experienced anxiety in overdrive, you know how painful and debilitating that can be.
Does anxiety keep you from living fully? Do you find yourself avoiding challenges? Our goal won’t be to banish anxiety but to collaboratively develop tools for managing it.
Grief
It’s not unusual for a bereavement or other loss to unsettle our understanding of ourselves and the world. People’s attempts to reassure us can make us feel even more alone.
If you’re feeling isolated by grief, it can be helpful to have a companion who can validate your emotional experience as you traverse the dark forests of this experience.
“Pain is not pathology.”
Dreamwork
Many people, after starting therapy, begin to have dreams that feel significant. Or you may have come to therapy because you’re having vivid, insistent dreams or nightmares.
For more information on my approach to working with dreams, check out my Dreamwork FAQ.
Individuation
What brings people to therapy varies. It may be a feeling of something coming to a head, some dilemma or crisis. Or it may simply be the desire to better understand yourself. Both are legitimate reasons for seeking support, and both can move you further along the path of what C.G. Jung called “individuation”—the process, as Jungian analyst Robert Johnson put it, “of becoming the complete human beings we were born to be.”
“If a plant is to unfold its specific nature to the full, it must first be able to grow in the soil in which it is planted.”
