Individual therapy is goal oriented and interactive, with a focus on the
here and now. Individuals are encouraged to take responsibility for the outcome of their
lives. The therapeutic relationship provides a secure environment with firm boundaries in
which the individual undergoes a "corrective emotional experience." This eventually repairs
the traumatic influence of his or her past life experiences.Many people lose their real self or authentic self because authority figures from the past have such a powerful effect on a childs self esteem. A disapproving word, gesture or glance on the part of a parent can cause the childs feelings to become repressed or distorted. Then a "false self" (Miller) develops to please the parent. Individual therapy helps the Individual to connect with the "real self." The work is difficult and requires a commitment to the process. It also requires an ability to experience strong and uncomfortable feelings without bolting from therapy. This Site Designed by OceanParadise.com This site best viewed at 600x800 pixels |
