It
is truly mind boggling how many ways we ingenious human beings can
get stuck. You can get stuck in a destructive relationship. You
may be caught in a toxic job. You might think about yourself in
a way that trips you up and keeps you from having a shot at happiness.
You could conclude that people all stink and that there is no way
to trust them. You may be going in circles in your mind and finding
yourself in the same unrewarding place again and again.
In reference to relationships, it is common knowledge that what
you experienced in your family of origin influences who you pick
when you are an adult and how you relate to him or her. For some
of us, those experiences growing up in a dysfunctional family lock
us into repeating self-destructive patterns. You’re an adult,
but you’re still having a lousy childhood. Your job is to
get the past out of your present relationships.
Whatever circle you may find yourself in, I am prepared to bring
a caring objectivity to it. Without judging you, I can help you
evaluate your circumstances. Together, we can work to free you from
the orbit you are caught in. We are seeking Flow which is a state
in which you are moving freely, applying your heart and your mind
in a relatively effortless way. That is the ideal for which I see
us striving.
One
of many tools we may be able to use to loosen up your stuck situation
is EMDR. For more on this, please see the section on EMDR
For Trauma Recovery. |
