"The irony is this - if you don't go in...you don't find out." Richard Stine

Are you feeling or have you felt stuck, heavy and imprisoned within your own skin?
Often as human brings, we create a kind of internal "armor" to protect ourselves from pain and disappointment - it's what we have grown up with. Ironically, these defensive layers also inhibit us from experiencing contentment, spontaneity and intimacy. Because it's all we have known, the desire to break free from this imprisonment is often so terrifying we contract both internally and physically, thus remaining in our state of fear and resistance.
When did we decide that suppressing our feelings and desires is the way to live?
From early childhood, the natural rhythms and desires of our bodies are interfered with by societal structures, such as those created by our parents, teachers, politicians, etc.. These societal structures can create within us a growing separation between our minds and bodies. Our authentic self gets buried under layers of pressure and conformity, the "should" and "should nots," and then finally cemented by punishment and reward. We forget who we truly are...
Is it time to break free from these shackles so you can live fully?
Awareness is the first step. Noticing where you stop yourself from expanding, be it with family, friends, lovers, co-workers, and most importantly within yourself. Becoming aware is your courageous first step. The good news is you do not have to walk this less trodden path alone.

Why does the "honeymoon" often end?
By understanding one's own character and deeply embedded attachment styles, partners can transform their relationship from a source of pain or banality, to a sustained source of joy. I can help couples who are struggling with trust issues and/or infidelity. Perhaps you are not sure if you should stay together, or want to separate as consciously and harmoniously as possible? Couple's therapy can help you get more clear and anchored in the decisions that feel right for both of you. |
