Why traditional therapy doesn’t always work for everyone, or isn’t enough

Traditional therapy can lay a great foundation and offer us insight into our patterning, but for some, it doesn’t always support them in growing beyond their patterning. Why? Because if we stay in the analysis, we’re basically just getting stuck in the story, sometimes reliving it over and over again, but not doing anything to change or evolve it.

Unless it’s a somatic therapy that brings us into our body, talk therapy alone can keep us in the mind, conceptually understanding what might be happening for us but a concept isn’t nearly as powerful as an embodied experience. Our wounding is often stored in our emotions not our mind. Our thoughts and beliefs are symptomatic of the initial, emotional wound.

We want forward movement. We want to feel like we can change and grow because it gives us a sense of expansion, possibility and even hope. It also gives us confidence, knowing that we’re powerful enough to change our state of being and our lives.

People come to me because they want to feel ‘progress.’ We don’t have to dwell on your story. We can touch upon it to understand why you’re where you are, but beyond that, I’m interested in helping you heal, transform and become the person you truly are so you no longer have to feel trapped by the patterns that are holding you back.
