Reflections on Therapy, Relationships, and Emotional Life
Thoughts on therapy, emotional wellbeing, and the experiences that shape how we understand ourselves and others.
Why Does Change in Therapy Take Time?
Change in therapy is often gradual rather than immediate. As we begin to understand ourselves and our recurring patterns differently, new ways of relating to ourselves may slowly become possible.
Why Can It Be Difficult to Trust a Therapist?
Trusting a therapist is often a gradual process rather than something that happens from the first session. Becoming curious about how trust develops may be an important part of therapy itself.
Why Can Starting Therapy Feel Difficult?
Starting therapy is often more complicated than simply booking an appointment. Taking the first step can feel difficult, and therapy can offer space to begin making sense of that experience.
